football at the 1906 summer olympics

At the 1906 Summer Olympics in Athens, an unofficial football event was contested. Only four teams competed, three of them clubs from Greece and Turkey. Some medal tables give the gold to Denmark and the silver and bronze to Turkey, although in fact no medals were awarded. The Athens team withdrew from the final at half time to preserve their dignity, and were then invited to play in a match to decide second place, but declined. Smyrna and Thessaloniki, both then cities in the Ottoman Empire, played off instead. The Thessaloniki team was mostly Greek, but the Smyrna team consisted of English, French and Armenian players.
