Hampden Park Scottish Cup Final (1954)
Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland. SV captains tossing. GV Celtic hopped jersey, kickoff. LV packed crowd. LV Celtic attacking, Martin deals comfortably with a shot, but as he runs through advancing Celtic players to clear he is bowled over, he hangs on to the ball and clears upfield. SV Aberdeen racing through with ball but are easily held and play is returned to the other end by a steady looking Celtic defence. SV Celtics right wing combining well are held up in the Aberdeen penalty area by strong tackling from Clunie who has dropped back to help the defence, his fellow inside forward Hamilton is also helping. Finally Aberdeen clear their lines with a hefty boot. LV Aberdeen attacking, Clunie receives, fires in a shot which goal keeper John Bonnar can only parry at the feet of Buckley, Buckley however cannot connect properly and his effort goes well wide. SCU boys in crowd. GV Celtic pressing. SV Fallon eludes Young and just as he is about to shoot, Martin dives at his feet and smothers the ball. LV crow
