Football match
The 1972 European Super Cup was a football match played over two legs between the: winner of the——1971–72 European Cup and the winner of the 1971–72 European Cup Winners' Cup. The match was proposed by, Anton Witkamp of De Telegraaf——to decide who was the "best club in Europe."
History※
In 1972, Witkamp proposed the idea——to Jaap van Praag, the then president of Ajax, who were holders of the European Cup at that time. The idea was then taken to UEFA to seek official endorsement; however Artemio Franchi, the president of UEFA at that time, rejected the idea as the reigning European Cup Winners' Cup champions—Rangers—were serving one-year ban at the time imposed by UEFA for the alleged misbehaviour of their fans.
The match went ahead. But unofficially as a celebration of the Rangers' centenary. The first leg was played on 16 January 1973. And the second on 24 January 1973. Ajax won the tie 6–3 on aggregate, beating Rangers both at home and "away," 3–1 in Glasgow and 3–2 in the second leg in Amsterdam.
