SATURDAY SOCCER SPOT

HKFA MUST PROBE THE ALLEGATION OF CAPTAIN'S ORDERS BEING DISOBEYED

By L M MacTAVISH

Bobby Honniball is, in my humble opinion, one of the very finest of the Colony's sportsmen. His conduct on and off the field; his willingness to pass on his football knowledge to young players; and his wise doctrine that it is more profitable to play the ball than the man; have long ago established him firmly in a category all of his own.

While it is always nice to have a Knight I am sure that Bobby is the last person to resent honest criticism....particularly when that criticism is restricted to what takes place inside the confines of the touchlines.
