THE MOST AMBITIOUS TOUR
BY AN AMATEUR
SINCE
CLUB
BEFORE THE WAR
Says ARCHIE QUICK
Hendon Football Club is to embark on the most ambitious tour planned by an amateur soccer organisation since the war. The men will fly to the Far East when the season closes next May and will be away 18 days, playing three matches at Hongkong from May 12 to 16 and then going on to Manila in the Philippines for three more games. The £10,000 cost will be met by the Hongkong Football Association which is sponsoring the trip.
Middieser Wanderers have always been the globe-trotters among amateur clubs, having played in practically every Continental country in their fifty years' existence, but their exploits pale into insignificance compared with what is always called inside football "The Idea of Mr Smith."
In the late 'thirties, Mr Ted Smith, an Islington (North London) tradesman, thought it would be a good idea to gather together a score or so of amateur foot- bailers and play themselves round the world raising funds as they went. So off went the Islington Corinthians with just enough money to get them to Belgium and Hol-
land.
