“Saint Mungo Cup”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Saint Mungo Cup was a one-off football tournament held in Glasgow, Scotland, to celebrate the 1951 Festival of Britain. The competition was contested by fourteen 'Scottish Division A' clubs together with Clyde and Queens Park from 'Division B'. Celtic defeated Aberdeen 3–2 in the final in front of a crowd of 81,000 at Hampden Park.^[1]

Aberdeen went two goals ahead with goals from Harry Yorston in 14 minutes and Tommy Bogan after 35 minutes. Charlie Tully changed the game in Celtic's favour, setting up two Sean Fallon goals in the second half and then scored the winner himself. On their road to the final Celtic had beaten Heart of Midlothian 2–1, Clyde 4–2 in a replay the day after a 4–4 draw in the quarter finals, and Raith Rovers 3–1 in the semi-finals.^[2]

The Corporation of Glasgow, who had organised the tournament and provided the cup named after Glasgow's patron saint as their donation to the Festival of Britain, were left red-faced when the triumphant players and manager Jimmy McGrory examined the trophy and discovered that it was decorated with ornate life belts and mermaids. It was revealed that the trophy was not in fact new but third-hand, having been made in 1894 as a yachting trophy, then been altered for a football competition in 1912 between Provan Gas Works and a City of Glasgow Police team. Celtic at first demanded a new trophy, but today the St Mungo Cup proudly takes its place in the Celtic Park trophy room.
