TUNG WAH HAVE QUITE A PROBLEM SPORTS

FORGOTTEN STAR ON THEIR HANDS

IS BACK

By DAVID JACK

When Len Browning, Sheffield United centre. forward, was stricken with chest trouble four years ago, he thought his footballing days were over. Now he's not so sure. Because Browning is back in football again,

At the Club Stadium last Sunday, Tung Wah played their first game as a senior side. To put it mildly theirs was a most inglorious debut in the upper circle and it was very interest- ing later to hear something of the reaction among Chinese fans to their policy....but strangely enough Tung Wah are only undergoing an experience that it is common to football the world over where league football is played under the promotion and relegation system.

Every team that wins promotion to a higher sphere faces the great de- cision of whether to stand by the players who won the promotion or to go into the market and obtain new experienced players.. experienced, that is, in the grade of football in which the team will have to play.
