Furthermore, as 1 remember so often reflecting as 'I leant nonchalantly against the uprights-having played in goal since the age of eight-both are games which onable a fellow with a certain crafty cunning to neutralise the efforts of stronger, braver men, and this in any walk of life is a source of much inward satisfaction,

A Record Of A Bloodless Sporting Revolution

By ARTHUR

WALMSLEY

This is a true story of Spain with a fairy-tale touch. It is a tale which puts Britain to shame. For I went to Spain in search of a soccer story that might be different-and found one more different than I dared have dreamed.

This is the real story of Real Madrid, the Spanish club familiar to British fans as European Champions and opponents of Manchester United on April 11 in Madrid.
