Role
£45,000 QUIXALL
By JACK WOOD Matt Busby signed Albert Quixall last week, and took a £45,000 swipe at the tax collector and the Football League. With Manchester United the blond, bouncy Quixall should develop into one of football's most feared and spectacular inside forwards.
With Quixall the foundation of the new United, Busby the greatest manager in the game, will carry the war into the Football League camp. He will prove that League football, as we know it, is too small to shackle a club like United.
