He Has Cause To Bless
His Regimental Sergeant-Major
By "MAC"
Few men have cause to bless-literally-their Regimental Sergeant-Majors. Bill Paterson is an exception. For, thanks to the man who bellowed at him on the square, Bill now stands on the threshold of a great International soccer career.
Twenty-two years old, he is Doncaster Rovers centre-half. He was the tower of strength in the defence which held Sunderland's glistening attack in their Third Round Cup tie. And on that display he is certain to gain his first international cap against England at Hampden Park in April.
