Are Chinese Footballers Beyond Learning Anything New From The British?

At the Hongkong Stadium last Sunday I spent some time in conversation with one of the Councillors of the HKFA and ho brought up a subject which is surely worth a little thoughtful examination.

As far, and as accurately, as I can recall he said "Well.... it looks very much as though the predominance of the Chinese footballer in Hong- kong is now completely established. I doubt if we shall again see a really serious challenge coming from non-Chinese quarters”,

life for jockey Billy Nevett throughout his 33-year-long few will disagree that there is a ready to complete the follow riding career. He rode 2,287 winners in Britain, and many others in Eire—but he was just as proud of the prize-winning blooms in his garden in the Wensleydale village of Patrick Brompton.

But now Billy, at 52, has had to give up his garden' and life as a country squire because of the demands of his new role as a trainer at Newby Park stables, near Ripon.

"It was a wrench to leave my gardening behind, for there is nothing like that at all here," Bill tells me.

"But if you try to be a good trainer und A good gardener, they will both suffer, I had to choose between the two-year- vids and the sweel peas."

Sold up now are his 20-room mansion and 12 acres of orchards, parkland and immucu- late flower-laden borders. His garden won him more than 500 prizes, and

Nevett bought the estate 10 ycors ago for more than £20,000, in anticipation of his "retirement." *That came in 1050.
