CAREER BEFORE Left-Half Vacancy Was Marked Down For Him
By ROY PESKETT
Bill Slater, odds-on favourite to play left half in England's World Cup team, will not be available. He has decided to put his teaching career before football honours.
The roport of two selectors at West Bromwich the other Saturday, plus the previous knowledge of other committee members, makes him a certainty, to be chosen against Scotland at Hampden Park on April 19.
Slater, a physical education lecturer at Birmingham University, cannot afford to spend part of May and almost the whole of June away from
his job.
