Ghajnsielem.com is reviving the memories of the 1974
Decider between Ghajnsielem F.C. and Victoria Hotspurs.
It was originally shot by Mr Joe Mailak using a colour
reel video camera and was later donated to the
Ghajnsielem Football Club.
The 1973/74 league championship was won and lost on
Saturday June 8, 1974. The marvellous goal scored by
Frans Magro three minutes from the end in the league
decider between Ghajnsielem and Victoria Hotspurs, not
only confirmed the Blacks' supremacy for the fifth year
running, but also brought to a close the most memorable
season in Club history. In this season Ghajnsielem swept
all three main competitions that were organized by the
G.F.A., established a record for consecutive
championships, equalled the record for most
championships won achieved earlier by the Salesian
Youths and Victoria Hotspurs, and was the first club in
Gozo which dared to challenge a foreign team on the
field of play. Above all, this success was achieved
after eight players from the 1972/73 championship
winning team were taken away by emigration, misfortune
and intrigue inspired by other clubs.
Watch the
players and supporters celebration this special moment
in the history of the glorious Club of Ghajnsielem F.C.
