Soccer's Rank And File Are Now Overpaid
Says HAROLD PALMER
Matthews,
Soccer professionals are much better off these days. Some may think that those who really pull in the crowd, like Stanley are not adequately rewarded, but there is no doubt many of the rank and file are now overpaid.
At least that is what most managers think and say. Their judg ment may be a bit warped. Most of them were players themselves, once, and it is not surprising they are rather jealous of the way players are treated today.
Smaller, popter clubs reckon the idea of pocket money for Dway players when they are from their home town is the last straw,
