THE CHINA MAIL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1955.

NEW BRITISH SHOW JUMPING STAR

SOCCER PROS PREFER TO MAKE THEIR LIVELIHOOD OUTSIDE THE LEAGUE

Says ARCHIE QUICK.

It is not surprising that so many professional footballers prefer to go out- side the League for their livelihood. They seek good wages, no restrictive clauses, No part-time employment elsewhere and ample bonuses for the more successful,' wonder there is a drift to clubs like Peterborough, Boston, Poole, Hastings.

It is, of course, a trek detrimental to English International football, for the Association Selectors would think it heresy to consider a non-League player for a "cap" in the same way as the MCC would shudder if a Minor Counties cricketer was recommended for the Test Team. Only one ever made the grade, and that was the Immortal Sydney Barnes when he was playing for Staffordshire.

Take Hastings United, for in- stance. I swear I saw a poten- tial English contre-hulf in Gerry Boon playing for them in Fourth Round FA Qualifying but this Cup against Redhill. locul six-footer, only 21 years old, will never get the schooling for International honours while Sussex he remains with the club.

But, Anancially, he and the remainder of the Hastings play-
