Sliema's glorious season in 1964-65

Further to Carmel Baldacchino's Shadows from the Past article of March 1, under the heading 'Sliema's Clean Sweep In 1964-65', I am submitting a photo of the Sliema Wanderers squad and officials who achieved that feat.

Missing from the photo is coach Janos Bedl, players Alfred Debono, Charles Spiteri and Sammy Nicholl and the thousands of loyal fans who used to fill the Sliema side at the Empire Stadium, Gzira, whenever the Wanderers played.

Also, Sliema fielded an U-16 team under the guidance of Sammy Nicholl and S. Portughese by the name of Sliema Youngsters.

The U-16 won the league that was organised by the MPFA (Mosta) District and played at the Creasy Ground, Mosta. It's interesting to note that in Sliema alone, there were eight U-16 teams taking part in the Sliema District U-16 League.
