NATURE IS A WONDERFUL HEALER-DON'T FRET SAYS MERCER TO JEFFREY

By ALAN HOBY

The dull crack when football's wonder boy Alick Jeffrey broke his leg under the Bristol floodlights not only stunned the 25,000 people who saw the tragedy- It shocked the whole of football. Messages of sympathy for the 17-year-old Dom- caster and Young England star, so crushingly struck down on the threshold of fame, have poured in.

Joe Mercer and Stan Cullis, both ex-England captains.... Allan Brown, Black- Bert Tann, pool's Scottish international inside-forward.... Stanley Matthews .... Bristol Rovers' shrewd chief and, of course, Alick's own boss, Peter Doherty -these are just a few of football's hendine names who have rullied to comfort the stricken lad.
