Question: What is your favourite move, Eddie? BAILY: The quick, short pass to the wing, taking the return, and the short flick back to the wingman. me this kind of thing leaves them dizzy, My wing partner Les Medley and I concentrate on this act in our training.

Question: How can you master accurate

USE INSIDE OF FOOT

MANNION: The old story, practice, of course. Try it this way-use the inside of the foot for short passing, and the instep for long passing.

That short pilsa must be accurate to be effective, so follow through smoothly. The

long, sweeping pass must be elevated, but not too high, or your colleague may have difficulty in bringing the ball under control.

Question: What about those Cheeky Chap- ple moves of yours, Eddle?

BAILY: I picked up this idea just fooling kicking the ball with alternate feet without allowing the ball to bounce.

Suddenly I found I could baffle defenders who were not used to this kind of thing. While the back is hesitating you can flick out the bali to a forward who has had time to move into position.

DEFENCE-WRECKER
