Thanks D. Much appreciated. Someone also wrote about the IFA. That, of course, was where Greece's highly successful sides in the early 1960s paved the way for the establishment of Hellenic in the NFL.
I remember watching a game one Sunday at the Lyons Stadium where the referee was the legendary Charlie Morgan. There was a goalmouth scramble and the ball went behind the line for a corner or goal kick. "Corner" said ref. Morgan to which the Italian defender replied (pls excuse spelling): "Aicorna, no corner."
That was all old Charlie needed and he gave the bloke a spray which was heard by all of us spectators standing behind the goal.
I saw some pics of Green Point the other day and those once perfectly maintained fields seemed to be lacking in condition. How sad.
