Scotland will gamble on heavier forwards against

Scotland 0, South Africa 44. That is one result which Scots- men prefer to forget, and if you jog their memories they will quickly remind you that they faced the Fourth Spring- boks in their first international match of 1951.

Tottenham Hotspur paid £30,000 for me. That makes me a "star" player, I suppose, But if you think it also means there is one law for me and another law for the "average" player, then you are very wrong. When I read these statements from directors and managers-that players don't know what they are voting for, that a Soccer strike this month will mean mass unemployment and that it will be fine for the stars but not for Joe Bloggs the underdog-I get really angry,
