Of The
Best Potential Talent
Says TOM FINNEY
London. What price England for the World Cup now? I know the odds have longthened through the tough qualifying round draw and the loss of players involved in the Manchester United crash. But I still believe we have a good chance of winning. Look at it this way. We are better off than most countries for
potential talent and numerical strength.
There is a great reservoir of players in Britain. Even though fate has deprived selectors of five, possibly six, Manchester United stars, (leaving two, if not three hard-to-fill gaps in the team), we are not lacking in first class reserves.
