Ferencvaros Vase

The Ferencvaros Vase(also known as the Budapest cup) [ [http://kerrydalestreet.com/page/Budapest+Cup Budapest Cup - Kerrydale Street ] ] is a football trophy won by Celtic on a European tour in 1914.

Celtic arrived in Budapest and played Burnley in what evolved into a bad tempered affair. Ferencvárosi TC had agreed to award a trophy to the winner but the match ended in a draw and both teams refused to play extra time. A replay couldn't be organised in Budapest as Celtic were travelling back to Glasgow. After winning the coin toss to play the game at home, Burnley played host to Celtic. The visitors won 2-0 and part of the gate money was sent to the Hungarian Charity Fund, however Celtic were not presented with the trophy, which had been sold to raise funds for the war effort.

Seventy four years later, in 1988, Celtic were celebrating their centenary and Ferencváros remembered they owed the club a trophy. In the absence of the original trophy they brought a decorative white porcelain vase, fashioned in the traditional shape of a football cup, to Glasgow. It was presented at Celtic's centenary championship winning match against Dundee in April 1988.
