By T. M. MacTAVISH
The gloom and despondency that followed the tumbling down of the temple around Samson was nothing to the abject misery of the Hong- kong footballers late on Saturday afternoon when they saw all their 'castles' pulled down around them.
They had made a great effort towards rebuilding their fortunes. they had fought back desperately from 0-2 to 2-2... and with the enthusiasm found in belated succeas there was every chance that they might have pulled this game against Djurgarden out of the Bre.
