Ray Pointer, the Burnley centre-forward who led England's attack against Luxemburg last week, is an unassuming, home loving lad who admits that at 24 he is still a little starry- eyed about professional football and the world travel it has given him,
We talked in the semi-detached house where he has lived with his wife Marilyn since they married three months ago.
