WATCH IN 1958
The They Can Bring
World Cup Home
By TOM FINNEY
London.
I think 1958 is going to be one of the most memorable years in the history of football. This is the year when I think the world will be acclaiming England as world champions. Yes, if we get the run of the ball, I honestly believe England have the players to win the World Cup.

This is the year when bold new plana are envisaged-a New Deal for the players; perhaps a percentage of transfer fees for them; rewards for the one-club man in the way of extra benefits, And, above all, 1968 will, I think, provide for us a host of glittering new stars. I think we saw signs of that in the closing months of 1957.
