HIS year, the honour of selecting South Africa's Top Ten soccer players, goes to Mr. George Haddon
T theonproprietor of South African Soccer Monthly. The editor missed the last three months of the season
while long leave overseas. In :choosing' his Top Ten George Haddon has put several things on to the
scales of selection. Such things as: ability, consistency, sportsmanship, fitness and crowd •appeal.
In narrowing down the big field to ten George Haddon singled out Reg Randall, Johannesburg Rangers'

0-GETTER Granger' (Vivian is
G his first name) is highly thought

I found out when recently visiting
England, Scotland, Wales and there-
after Belguim, Holland, Germany,
Austria, Italy, Switzerland and
France. I want to London armed
with letters of introduction from
the burly National Football League
manager to Bob Wall, secretary of
the Arsenal Football Club for
nigh on 35 years, to Mister Nic-
holson manager of Tottenham at
White Hart Lane, and to Sir Stanley
Rous, the Big Boss of- F.I.F.A.
First I put a telephone call
through to Highbury. "Mister Wall"
I said, "Viv Granger sent me. I
have a letter of introduction".
Quietly-spoken Bob, as he
insisted that I call him, invited
me to attend two matches. The
first was Arsenal versus Stoke
City. The second, Arsenal versus
Manchester City.
Bob Wall went to great lengths
telling me how to get to Highbury
by tube from our' hotel which was
not far from the cul-de-sac where
Sir Winston Churchil fought his
last fight.
"And when you get to the
ground" said Bob, "come straight
to the main entrance. There you
will see a commissioner. Ask him

for an -envelope for you!"
I did. Upstairs I went. There
I met Bob. He took me into the
private little pub reserved for
Arsenal aristocrats ... lords and
knights and millionaires. A quick,
warming Scotch.
Then I was shown to my seat in
the directors' box. I sat next to
a man who spoke with a twang
that I hadn't heard since visiting
Australia with the springbok soccer
team way back in 1947. Remember
that exciting series won by Horace
Smethurst's teaiii? Well, the man
next to me turned out to be the
Australian High Commissioner in
England.
A lot of you know Highbury.
In mid-August and September the
turf is a fantastically, beautiful
green. The stands were packed.
The terraces behind the goal jammed
tight. The lads behind the goal
take off their red and white scarves,
join them in a long rope, and when
Arsenal attack they twirl the red
and white colours like a writhing
snake. Very effective. When Stoke
City ran out the Arsenal crowd gave
the Stoke goalkeeper, Gordon
Banks, a tremendous welcome. They
remembered, even above clut
loyalty, his great goalkeeping of
the season before when England
won the World Cup. But alas and
IMMO
alack. It was just my bad luck
to catch Banks on an off day. He
made two very simple elementary
errors. One: he went up to an
easy lob and thought, not challenged,
he fisted the ball straight out to
an unmarked forward. Zipp. The
ball flashed into the back of the
net. Alarming! Next day I brought
three English newspapers and not
one of the sports writers mentioned
Banks' bloomers.
These gentlemen of the Press
write under their own names in
big writing so I presumed they
must or should know something
of the finer points of the game.
I tell you I was most distressed
at the lack of knowledge shown
by these critics.
For the next game I went along
with dear old Freddie Fell ( isn't
he loved by Sir Stanley Rous,) and
we were given the same splendid
treatment, before during and
after the game . My neighbour in
the directors' box this time was
a middle-aged woman. Did she
know her soccer? I asked her if
she remembered my pal, Dan le
Roux, playing for Arsenal. And
how? "Pity — she said, "that his
young wife wanted to return to

great guns in Arsenal's first team
when he became acclimatised".
"You seem to know a lot about
soccer, madam", I said. "Have
you been following Arsenal for a
long time?"
I nearly fell on my back when
she told me her story. She had
been coming to Highbury for 40
years. She first started when she
was a very young girl. She was the
daughter of one of England's great-
est, most famous soccer person-
alities. Guess who? Herbert
Chapman, the man who made
Arsenal the biggest name in world
soccer during the late 1920's and
early
30's.
I felt honoured, I tell you, to
have met his daughter.
We fell to discussing players
of today, their skills, their wages.
"Do you know, Mr. Wright—,
she told me. "Dad was only paid
£12 (R24) a week in those days.
And he had to look after mum
and three daughters on that. I
wonder what he would say today
about some of the fantastic wages
paid to those boys out there".
On this visit to Highbury I saw
Arsenal scramble a narrow victory
over Arsenal. That night in my
hotel I wrote to Dan le Roux. I
said that unless and until Arsenal,
who were then top of the league,
found two hard-shooting forwards

He was a swarmy, nasty type.
"I don't want to spoil your night

country for what it did at Sharpe-

"Well", I retorted "I don't

But I liked Manchester City in
their light blue jerseys and pre-

After that match we retired to the
private Arsenal bar. Met an England
selector. An old timer. He was
disturbed by Arsenal rough-and
ready football. I hope for Bob
Wall's sake that somehow their
manager will find a great marksman
and a great ball player. I am not
kidding when I write this next
statement. I believe with all
sincerity that Francis Exal I, Durban
United's ball wizard, would make
the grade with Arsenal. All he
needs is some concentrated train-
ing and tuition to speed up his
attacks.
Tottenham made me just as
welcome as did the Arsenal. I
caught numerous tube trains and

WALLEY BARNES SAYS:
B 1 G 0 THE YOUNGSTE
....IF YOU WANT THE STANDARD Of SOCCER HERE TO IMPROVE!!
*
ALLEY Barnes, the tail lean,
balding manager of Highlands
Park, who looks like Sherlock
Holmes and analyses football in
much the same deductive way that
the famous detective solve- crimes,
believes that South African soccer
is suffering because "the kids are
not taught the basic skill of the
game at school". There is a dir.e
need, says Mr. Barnes, for coaches,
and he also believes that many
youngsters are lost to soccer just
after school-leaving age, a period
when scholars find themselves at an
awkward stage when they are too
big to play against schoolboys and
too small to play in senior football
consequently there is a big falling-
off. At-this period, says Mr. Barnes,
the interest of young boys leaving
school should be , sustained and
fostered by coaching clinics. It
would be an excellent scheme
for a national coach to be appointed
by the National Football League to
travel around the country. Another
point made by Mr. Barnes during
our long interview was that
schoolboys should be taught
the right habits in football at
about ten years of age, and
should be confined to play within
their own school. School soccer
at this age should be non-com-
petitive says Mr. Barnes, and
should remain non-competitive
until they are older- and can
claim to have some skill, other-
wise the football will consist
of mere physical tests between
school teams, and it is only
natural that teachers will want
S.A. SOCCER MONTHLY - NOV/DEC 1967.
their teams to win, irrespective
to whether victory is acquired
by brawn instead of brain. In
brief,. Mr. Barnes maintains that
schoolboys should be taught the
basic skills of soccer before
entering the fi eld of competitive
football, in which physical con-
tact often supersedes skill, and
leads many young players into
bad habits that are difficult if
not impossible to eliminate later.
Walley Barnes was born at
Brecon, Wales, on January 16th,
1920, he had his early schooling
in India, however, as his father
was a member of the South Wales
Borders Regiment. When 9 years
old, Walley Barnes returned to
Britian and lived at Gosport,
l-c He played soccer for
HamsiS `e Schools when 13 and-
14 years old. Despite twoseribus
injuries (he broke his left leg
in a Cup final and the right leg
a year later), he was selected
to play for Hampshire County
when he was 17 years. He
signed for Portsmouth as an
amateur at 17, and joinea the
army in 1939 after being in the
Territorials. A warrant officer
in the Physical Training Corps,
Barnes continued playing soccer,
signing on for Arsenal in 1942.
but he continued to be dogged by
a series of injuries which would
have terminated the playing
career of almost any player but
the determined, dedicated Welsh-
man. He suffered a serious knee
injury in 1944, and was written
off as a footballer in December
of that year. . He was forced to
lay off and play no football for
two years, and during this period
he was told by an orthopaedic
expert in the British Army that
he would never be able to play
soccer again. Walley Barnes,
however, was determined to
return to the game, and he gra-
dually improved his knee with
an extensive amount of squatting
and other exercises. After two
years lay-off, Barnes, who had
been "spotted" earlier by Tom
Parker, the Arsenal trainer,
played at ri ght back for Arsenal,
and had to oppose none other
than the great winger, Tom
Finney, who played for Preston
North End. Barnes played for
Wales 33 times, including war-
time internationls, in
he was invalided out of the army
with his knee injury as no longer
fit for military service, being
categoriased B7. A week after
his discharge, he played for
Wales! He then suffered a par-
tial dislocation of his right
shoulder, and for six weeks
played with his finger tucked in
his jersey to prevent his arm from
swinging as he played, which
gave him great pain. He played
for Arsenal when they won the
League championship in
1947-48 season, the London
team finishing with a 93 goals
for and 33 against aggregate- a
record which still stands as the
lowest number of goals against
in a British league season. In
1948, Walley Barnes captained

"What is your opinion of the new
champions, Port El izabeth City?"
"They have done very well,
what they set out to do, and
thus deserve credit. Their play
does not suit a lot of South
Africans spectators because it
is not spectacular. Their players
do not rush about the field; they
make the ball do the work".
"What is your opinion of the
proposal to restrict the number
of imported players to each club?'
"It has its merits. It might
stimulate more South African
boys to become first division
players, but on the other hand,
if local players do not come
forward in sufficient numbers,
it could have a harmful effect".

HERE THEY COME.......
POWERL ES
OUTH African Soccer, now
S three years in the wilderness
of FIFA suspension, has received
an unexpected but telling facelift
from within. Not from FASA, N.F.L.
nor from the so-called glamour clubs
but from a Nigel-based construc-
tion company, whose second NFL
divisi on side, Powerlines, has fired
the imagination of all with their
giantkilling march to the premier
national division.
This highly successful industrial
concern has riveted its sights on
revolutionizing the country's roun-
ball approach.
The players' notice board at Nigel
Stadium has a magisterial look
with "named" players being fined
R20 for not taking training seriously
or a R10 levy for unjust absence
from a dribbling session. And
'there is a similar penalty for kicking
an opponent despite the fact that
it has escaped the referee's atten-
tion. 4119e betide he whose name
has been blacked-booked. His pay
packet shrinks. But there are the
sweets of victory - big bonuses for
good performances, and faithful
service. Surprise incentives are
the watchword. For the moment-
everybody wants to be associated
with such a club-run on disciplined
but humanitarian lines.
And listen to this. The team's

I was most distressed to see what

were supposed to have played
badly against Highlands at the

played ten times worse, I think
it is just a case of plain jealously
because some other team instead
of Highlands won the league.
