SEASON'S BEST TEAM DESERVED MORE PLACES

Scotland's Big Problems

BY ARCHIE QUICK /

If I had to choose England's team against Scot- land at Hampden Park I would unhesitatingly select this eleven.

Ditchburn (Spurs); Scott (Arsenal) and Howe (Derby); Johnston (Blackpool), Compton (Arsenal) and Wright (Wolves); Matthews (Blackpool), Mortensen (Blackpool), Rowley (Manchester U), Morris (Manchester U), and Finney (Preston).
