Hi all. I’ve just picked up some mid-70s Napoli ticket stubs which will help form part of a leaving gift for someone at my work.

They’re undated, and instead of team names, are distinguished using names of trees, plants and animals. Can anyone advise as to what season they may be, or identify who the opposition was?

Long shot I know, but worth a try...

Giglio would be Fiorentina, and Elefante would be Catania.

And Quercia would be Forest? Laughing

Is that right? Is there some logic or convention here?

Catania did have an Elephant on their badge at some time. And Giglio refers to a Lily, seen in red on early Fiorentina shirt badges, and more or less still part of the badge today.

Quercia suggests Oak tree. The City of Lecce coat of arms sports such a tree. Therefore I`m guessing that ticket may ? refer to a fixture with Lecce.
