| Abstract: | From 1948 - 49, following the advent of the AJAX, honours were mainly in the grip of both Sliema and Floriana, with the latter holding the major trumps. This despite the fact that teams like Hamrun Spartans, Valletta City and Hibernians were all stocked with good material. Spartans had also in their ranks Willie Mills of Aberdeen and Scotland, but he could not cope with the speed of the game, but before going back home he did plenty of good work with the Spartan's youngsters as a coach. During one season the Greens won all the four league competitions: the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Minor Divisions, whilst Sliema won the F.A. Trophy, and the three other Knock Out competitions. |
