As well as the tough job of getting to call heads or tails at the start
of a match. A Captain is the one that gets to lift the trophy, if his
team actually wins anything. Oh and he also gets to wear a snazzy
armband, in any colour that doesn't clash with his team's kit. (But red
with a white circle and a black motif in it, haven't been very
fashionable as armbands for the past 60 odd years.) Can't think of much
else that he does that is of any relevance...
