BOB FERRIER reveals a Soccer secret
BRITAIN WILL STAGE
1966 WORLD CUP
At long last, one of Great Britain's four national teams will have an outstanding chance of winning the World Cup. In 1966-the first year the series can be held again in Europe-
the tournament will be staged by England, but it will be a truly GREAT BRITAIN promotion, with the final matches being played in all the football: cities of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
And if we are da lucky then j as we have been this year in get- ting four British countries in the lost 10, ill four national teams could indeed play at home in the Anal stages Scotland in Glasgow and Edinburgh, Northern Ireland in Belfast. Wales in Cardiff, and England in the big cities.
Sir Stanley Rons, secretary of the Football Association, plained.his plan to me this way:
"We shall make application to stage the championship at the
sext congress of F.1.F.A. to be held in Rome in 1980, and there is little doubt in my mind that we shall succeed,
"By the time the championship Le due, the F.A. will have cele-
