SOCCER AMONGST THE WORLD'S LEADERS

Says DON REVIE

The Old Year is ticking away with all its memories and soon we shall be plunged into the hurly-burly of the Cup ties. With all the thrills and heartaches of Cup football upon us let me say straight away that the happiest moment I had in 1956 was when my old club, Manchester City, confounded the critics by winning the FA Cup at Wembley.

Wembley too when Bert Trautmann threw himself at the feet of Peter Murphy and broke his neck. And my funniest moment was when little Ernie Taylor of Blackpool scored in ten seconds flat against Manchester City. When he was asked after the game if the moye was planned he replied without batting an eye, “Sure, but, it shouldn't have counted, 1 should have scored with my left foot instead of my right.”
