LITTLE ERNIE TAYLOR ...

One Of The Best Transfer Bargains Since The War

Says JOHNNY HAYNES

London. Little Ernie Taylor has played only two games for Manchester United, but I already regard him as one of the best transfer bargains since the war.

It is a bargain that, I believe, may turn out to be in the Joe Mercer category-and there is a parallel between these two fine soccer personalities.

Crowther has taken over from Duncan Edwards for United, and must be a candidate to do so for England as well.
