ITALIAN HORSEMEN IN BRITAIN,
MISSED TOUCH
By ROY PESKETT
There is no false modesty among Irish offrials after their team's performance against England at Windsor Park, Belfast, on Oct. 6 when they held. England to a one-all draw. They feel they have the players to take them through their qual) - fying section of the World Cup for the first ilme.
Ireland's display wiped the complacent smiles from English faces. They were desperately unlucky not to win and I think it is the greatest performance Í have seen from Ireland since the war.

MEET THE FANS
Fighting Skipper Charlton's Need
By PETER SALMON
(In An Interview With Eric Nicholls)
their
I've been a Charlton fan for 20 years. Since they were half-way in fantastic rise from the Third to the First Division, in fact. It's a family concern. My father and brothers have supported the “Robina" ever since I can remember.
We are critical supporters, too. I believe all genuine fans are.
I have seen Charlton at their best in the days of Harold Hobbis, the Oakes brothers, Wilkinson and Boulter. I have seen them at their worst. It matters a great deal whether Charlton win or lose. But it doesn't affect my loyalty as supporter. I hold no brief for the so-called fan who drifta from club to club, depending on the results, You support a team through thick and thin, That's my

This Is The Mercer "Confidence Trick"
Says STANLEY MATTHEWS
"We've a long way to go yet," said Joe Mercer when I congratulated him on making such a good job of his first managerial post with Sheffield United. That modesty is typical of Joe. He gives 100 per cent enthusiasm to everything he tackles.
Now he is doing it as Ho did it as a player. He did it as a business man, a football manager-but he never boasts. As a player and club captain, Joo was a His great driver. He had that knack of forcing confidence into his colleagues. own non-stop play for 90 minutes inspired the rest of the team.
