At the start of this season I thought British football was going to turn over a new leaf, that the art of the game would be brought back in all its glory.
How wrong I was. On August 13 when the Rest of Europe played in Belfast, the Irish crowd applauded the Continentals for several minutes in tribute to their artistic, short-passing game. At Hillsborough when the Hungarian Cupholders, Vasas, played, the crowd again showed their appreciation of fine football.
