Finals for 1959

The final game is played by Lotok and it will be given to Geetice by Lotto 6-0. I have got a lot of tricks from GEET to Lootok Tin Daffe (in a line) and some logs, Lotto, Lloyd-Ferrebrother Cup, but there is no rule for FIFA batsmen. The 8th game will be for the Lloyd Farebrand Trophy.
