DISLOYAL TO APPLY FOR A TRANSFER? - NO STIGMA ON CHANGING JOBS

Says TOM FINNEY

Д

We are approaching the time when the Soccer transfer market will be at its busiest. Clubs wanting to make that extra effort for Championship, clubs threatened by relegation and players wanting to better themselves while there is still a chance, all have their eyes on the Football League deadline of March 16.

Already there are many players on the transfer list and others who have applied to be put on it. Ted Ditchburn, of Spurs, Ray Daniel, of Sunderland, Sid O'Linn, of Charlton, and Mike Tiddy, of Cardiff City, are four well-known' players whose names como at once to mind.
