Says - ARCHIE QUICK
The Football Association Selection Committee have named 17 players to form a training squad in preparation for the International against Spain at Wembley on November 30 and they included two Third Division men, four from Division Two and two others who were in Division Two last season.

Last season eleven young men of England nearly raised the roof at Stamford Bridge and then at Sheffield does not with displays of soccer that made the old 'uns gesp.
They were the England Under 23's. Their 5-1 win over the much-boosted Young Italians, followed swiftly by a six-nil drubbing of Scotland's youngsters, suggested better things were in store for English soccer.
