A MINOR REVOLUTION
THE CHINA -MAIL, FRIDAY OCTOBER
EAT-WHAT-YOU-PLEASE FOOTBALLERS ARE DOING VERY
WELL
By ARCHIE QUICK
There is a minor revolution happening in football. For years I have contended that the light, boiled lunch which clubs insist their players have before a match is a ridiculous restriction. Now at long last a manager has been courageous enough to prove me right
or wrong.
The enterprising Bristol Rovers' boss, Bert Tann, has given a pre-match "ent- what-you-please" signal, and the measure of us success can be gauged by Rovers' Second Division position. They are lying equal third, only one point behind the leaders, and it is the highest League place they have ever occupied.
