MAN FOR MAN- England's footballers are as good as any in the world. But PLAN FOR PLAN we are hopelessly out of date on the international front. The World Cup is only 27 weeks away and you would think that there would bo⋅ an all-out drive between now and June to make the present England eleven the best in football history.

Already the Iron Curtain countries, the temperamental South Americans, and even the in-and-out Italians ha ve drawn up long-term blueprints designed to drill them to peak form in a series of matches against club and national sides. And here in England? How calender until APRIL 10, 1953, at Hartingen tackle Scotland greatest show? l'il tell you....

Given the right breaks, Bobby Bobren, a good ball player, could solve this problem against the fery Frenchmen.

But I still think that Jimmy Greaves, in his best form, has the correct mixture of thrust and skill for my ideal England team.

And don't forget Tem Finney, The versatile Preston wizard', cari not only perform with equal Snesse at centre forward, out- side right, and on the left wing, but he in one of the best inside rights I have ever seen.
