Players Have It Too Easy
JIMMY HOGAN has retired from football after 55 years' association with
the game..
The celebrated coach responsible for a football being kicked intelli- gently all around the globe left Villa Park last week with a pension from the directors and a suitably-inscribed gold watch from the players.

Instead, "Uncle Shimmy," as he is affectionately known all over the Continent, was forced to seek an outlet for his teaching talents in Holland, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland and France.... prophet save in his own country,
Our loss is the rest of the world's gain. Jimmy's former pupils, conching Soccer the Hogan way in ult parts of the globe have, been responsible for those humillations which England's footballers have suffered since the sad but enlightening afternoon Hun- gary's ball-jugglers toyed with thom at Wembley.
