Mr Gustav Sebes, boss of the Hungarian National soccer team, is reported to have said that it was a higher standard of fitness which enabled Honved to beat West Bromwich Albion. But Ronnie Allen, the Albion centre-forward, calls this nonsense,

I didn't see this great match in Brussels but I would certainly disagree-- just a vigorously as Ronnie Allen-with most of the similar criticisms made when England's national or club teams have been beaten by foreigners on other occasions. Anyone who saw the Uruguayans best England in Basle last summer would agree that we lasted the pace much better.

Why Not Use The Rest?

I have all too often seen a player go to the table and strotch into position for a shot, when it was obvious that ho was over-stretching and would almost certainly` fall with the stroke. Sometimes I would like to shout out, "For goodness sake use the rest."
