Managers came, and managers went, past as they always do — it's only the directors, who appoint them in the first place, who seem ta have an almost permanent place at the lop of a club's notepaper! — and the jobs of others looked more than a little rocky One who didn't ultimately go found himself in court amidst a blaze of publicity of the kind even that colourful character hasn't encountered before Others discovered (if they had the heart to check on statistics) the current casualty.rate amongst team-bosses averages out at oneplus per week.

He is one of the games most respected coaches and he wants to see his side doing things the right way. Working to a method rather than intuition. Brien Greenhoff pinpoints the difference when he says: "Under Tommy Docherty, we were • young side, tull of running. We ran other sides off their feet. "But Dave is more into the coaching side. lies made us • lot more solid, more professional_ Maybe we have lost a little of the old Moodiest,/ United attacking flair but in the long run, I think it

RA ANCHESTER United manager IV/ Dave Sexton has discovered this season that, at Old Trafford, it's not so much what you do as the way you do it. Sexton has been under fire from the fans this season because they don't feel the teem hi showing the swashbuckling style of former United sides_ They were actually booed off atter • home draw with Southempton and a lot of supporters called for Sexton's head. That, at a time when the club were In fifth place In the First Divlaion table! There are plenty of sides who would regard that sort of standing as success in itself Not at Old Trafford. They've been so sptliled by subcess over the years they now expect it almost 1111theirright. Not only that. United teams hese always done it in their own stylish way. Sexton hes shown • lot of courage in building • side in his own image, rather than using • cast from • previous United team. But in doing so, he's made the fens feel betrayed. They expect their team to go

Sexton is different altogether to Docherty. Not only in his coaching techniques but in his manner off the field — quiet and serious That could be another reason why the supporters haven't taken to him. They mistake his silence for aloofness. Sexton has added big money signings Joe Jordan •nd Gordon McQueen to the team he inherited from Docherty, which the fans believe should make them •n even better side than the one that went to Wembley two seasons in • row under The Doc And they weren't happy with the sale of wimper Gordon Hill, • symbol of the previous team's chirpy, aggressive style. Sexton hopes 000,000 mid. fielder Mike Thomas from Wrexham will help to give United the balance on the left missing since Hill's controversial departure. "The lad has settled in quickly in • role familiar to him. He gives us width on the left end is keen to prove himself at the highest level." he says. On the goalkeeper's spot "If young Gary Bailey keeps doing well, the chance is there for him to take." United H a special club You can tell that when you see supporters milling about early on match day mornings, lust wanting to be near the piece They have the right to expect thetest Sexton himseff acknowledges that when he says: "I have signed three-year contract and it is up to me to produce the goods in that time. I have served • year already so its time I won something." Sexton hes perhaps misjudged the mood of the United fens, in the sam• way they have been hasty in condemning him Bath should give the other something that seems to be more and more precious these days.

been said many times by I many people football is the sort of sport thet can get under a man skin. How else can you explain the way managers who've hod their lingers burned in the past cons istently return to a notoriously insecure profession. The latest example is provided by nice guy Conn Murphy Vett/ who hes given up the comparative calm of coaching Notts County for a second stab at management with Third Division Lincoln City. Murphy could have been forgiven for walking out of football once and for ell after his appalling experience with Derby County. but addicted to the game like so many others ha just couldn't resist. It must be still ba fresh in his mind how his own previous management job turned into a tortuous nightmare. There was hardly a day without intrigue at the Baseball Ground end regular rumblings about with Murphy's future, coupled stories about Brian Clough returning to Derby made for a MON unhappy period.

inevitably shown the door, to be replaced by Tommy Docherty, the scholarly Cohn Murphy was the only one to emerge from the affair Now 13 months on, Murphy can afford a smile as he reflects: "Nothing could be harder then the inferno I walked through al Derby." Thirty-four-year-old Murphy retained his dignity and was given a recuperative chance by Jimmy Sirrel at Notts County. "Twelve months alongside Jimmy was as good es five years' experience. But rye always fancied running my own show and I know I'm now a better manager than when I wes given the job et Derby." Murphy sees the Lincoln job as • challenge— ha has to with the Sincil Bank club at the foot of the Third Division — but he says the position is no more daunting than the one he inherited at Derby.

'Rippedapart by Pele'

'Out of this world' DENIS LAW (exHuddersfield, Man. United, Man. City and Scotland)

JIMMY GREAVES (exChelsea, Spurs, West Ram and England)

THEat any best level team was I played undoubtedly •gainst Brazil in 1972, when Scotland met them in Rio. We lost 10 when Brazil scored late in the game, but I reckon we did well to keep the score dam to that margin, because they were brilli•nt In everything they did. And on that occasion, Brazil beat us without the services of Pete — even lacking his magic they gave the greatest exhibition Foe seen. Gerson end Rivelino seemed to be. all over the field. with Gerson not seeming to make •ny effort but getting through • tremendous . amount of work. Also, the pinpoint accuracy of the passing by Rivelino and Gerson was out of this wor d But it was the performance of the South Athericans as • whole that was so Impressive. For example, just taking one aspect of their game, that of free.kicks, was en education to anyone Int 000000d In the finer points of football. In Brisin, the awarding of • free-kick does not cause any palpitations among the defenders of the Rending side — yet ageinst razil, I always felt anxious when hey took one_ It was their technique of bending the ball around any sort ol defenme wall that caused us problems. nd it proved to me in Britain we still have a tremendous amount to

they were bored with the whole proceedings, giving us no hint about what was to come. And when Brazil did put the pressure on, there was no answer to the typo of football they played. Pale helped to rip our defence apart, time end time ag•in, and there was a shattering 20-minute spell when the England side merely , acted as spectators. The ball always seemed to be in our net — every player for Brazil was soccer superman, •rid the accepted forms of m•rking • man out of the game didn't apply. We couldn't, for ex•mple, put two men on Pele If we had done b dy I Id . be lett free, •nd everybody in their side was so good we couldn't afford to give them •ny scope. And regardless of whet England tried, there was no way Brazil could be stopped. And without disrepect to Pale, even if he had not been in their side, Brazil would slit have been world-beaters — I know this, because I played gainst them more than once in that era, when they were without P le, and they convinced me they were a team without an equ•l. But the time when hey remm•d in live goals against England was the one I recall as being a perfect illustration of what football is all about, at the very highest level

n rrom them in this respec t. Yet in Rio thet day it way the general level of the skill shown by Brazil that made them a team of world-6 — I remember thinking it was the countless hours spent on ball control by •very one of their side that wes finally paying dividends. This manipuletion or the bell by the Brazilians was their eeeeee st as they proved by the way they played against' us And their skill wasn't confined to moving the ball around. or demonstrating their efficiency with free-kicks — th•y also had terrific shooting power, which more than matched anything in the British game_ All in- all. Brazil in 1972 were •uperb.

T HE @gains was finest Brazil.team whenI played England me them in Rio in 1961, and I realise we were opposing a side without weakness it is almost impossible t describe just how talented thes Brazilians really were England los 5-1 on that occasion, and the funn thing was in the first-half we wer containing them and seemed to be in the game with • chance Then it happened — the Brazilians law rently decided the time had come for them to stop going through the motions, and really started to play after the interval. Up to that time, they had been stroking the bell around as though

'In complete command' THOMPSON PETER Bolton (ex-Liverpool, d) and Englan I T didn't take long for me to decide which was the greatest side I had •ppeared against at club or international level —the answer is Brazil. in 1964 The match was in Rio, I was playing for England, and we lost 5-1 but in • way, the scoreline is because the two teams weird, were so closely matched for much of the time until • hurricane-like 211-minute spell by the Brazilians in Prior to that, Engthe second-halt land had played well enough to earn the plaudits of the crowd. and I remember I was enjoying myself on the wing. Then the Brazilians, with their ability to suddenly switch from •n amble to a gallop began to find loopholes in our defence, and from th.t point on took complete commend of the game. Even now, looking back atter a period of more than 14 years. the brilliance of thelr remains and finishing passing clear in my mind. With Pyle and Veva prompting their of many directing and threw Brazilians the attacks, at us and I doubt everything whether any defence could have held them. Nothing went right for England in the finishing stages of the match, and quite honestly I can't se• any Brazil side of the of future having the collection talented players available to them

'An occasion I'll never forget' hey had in that period of the early blies Vava Didi, Pale, Garrincha, Mauro, Djalme Santos and Nilton aMos were some of the names hat m•de history during that era y k 'tth• tld •I—b B earn they turned out could better heir 5-1 win over England at Rio in 964 And after that game, I did have ome consolation — I received an vation from the sporting Brazilien fans and was later voted the m•n I the match. To me. knowing the talent of the men who opposed me, that was a wonderful compliment.

N tA

Whet e game — and what an outfit they were! Brazil best us 1-0 with a goal scored ten minutes trom the end by Jairzinho, and apart from th• brilliance of the Brazilians, the match itself was the greatest toe taken part in for its thrills and also the ability of the England team VVe gave as good as we got until the Brazilians went ahead, end even alter that, we missed • couple of golden goalscoring chances — I felt England were well worth a draw at Nast, end that's not taking any credit away from the talented opposition. Brazil were fantastic, and no wonder, with fellows like Pale. Testae, Gerson. Jairzinho and Rivellno in their line-up. And their pattern of play was something new to us then, but one which has been adopted since in England — they believed In the slow build-up, in patience end the ability to react quicidy and decisively whenever there was the slightest hint of a loop-hole in our defence. Fortunately, we had quite a strong defence There was Tommy Wright, Bobby Moore, myself and Ray Wilson in the back-four, plus Alan Ball probing in midfield and Bobby Charlton end Geoff Hurst up-front. With so much talent on display, it is difficult to pick out an individual star, as the general level of ploy was se high — but I do remember Gerson was tremendously impressive in the way In which he waned attacks for Brazil and spread the ball around with accuracy. Certainly, it was a fantastic occasion I'll neeeee orget, with some wonclawful, brilliant football from Brazil and• display from the England team which made me proud to be part of it

FOOTBALL LEAGUE CUP NOTTINGHAM FOREST v. BRIGHTON JOHN McGOVERN (Nottm. Forest)

'M absolutely d•lighted with Our I Cup draw ageinst Brighton. A home fleet this stage of the competition, must give Forest a tremendous advantage Following our 3-2 victory over Everton at Goodison, after being goal down, we deserved • home draw for our efforts. missed the game because of injury, but I was cheering the lads on from the stands. Do I know anything about Brighton? Not much, except they are having a good season in the Second Division. Forest boss Brian Clough and Peter Taylor should know • bit about the SouthCoast club because they were both at the Goldstone for • while. To be honk I haven't even seen them on television. But by all accounts, former Hartlepool player, Malcolm Poskatt is getting bis kir share of goals this season. Forest take each match as It comes. We've got to. because we are involved in so many competitions we can't plan too far ahead. For us this !skirt snother game. but for Brighton it I. their Cup It's going to bee tough match etthough lb-a 75 per cent confident we can win. A score? Let's say I'll be happy if Forest went to win 1-0

LEEDS UNITED v. LUTON

BRIAN HORTON (Brighton)

BRIAN FLYNN (Leeds Utd.)

LIL FUCCILLO (Luton)

AWAY ... what to• Nottingham greet draw Forest end the match should be equally exciting. Obviously w• would have pmlamed • home tie, but I'm still confident wa can upset the Champions. We beat Peterborough 1.0 in the last round. Posh turned out to Le tough opposition, which we expected. When we travel to the City Ground we'll be the underdogs this time and what • Mee change that will be. We're one of the top sides in our Division and we seem to be the favourites In nearly every game we play. So the manure will Ise off us little. Foree ara the most consistent side In the country at the moment and seem to break records every week, but we know, all records ave to end sometime. You can't keep • side like Forest out of the news with the record they have. thrt I reckon we know enough about the Midianders. They have so many first-class players, some I've played against in the past, btrt, we have very capable men who are always likely to turn it on. We are going to treat this game like • normal LLLLLL outing. I lust hope wa con display some of our League form.

ALTHOUGH the home adventage we rrn have sure Luton ere going to give us • very hard game By beating Aston Ville 2-0 et Villa Perk in the previous round, Luton have proved they are capable of upsetting the odds. So we must treat them with tremendous respect. Our 2-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers in the lest round turned out to be s very competitive match. The two goals came at a very important time_ The winner was scored in the dying minutes whkh put the cisme beyond their reach. Most of my teem-mates are very much in the dark about Luton, but I played against them when I was with Burnley_ I've got greet respect for Alan West who wes a team-mate et Turf Moor A midfielder of great vision who is clever on the bail I'll try to use my experience to stop him from causing us any trouble. Leeds will approach the game stmiler to the previous rounds Obviously we're going out there to do our best but to be honest, It all depends on the night_ It's a one-off thing. You can't afford to make mistakes. I'm confident we can top Hatters atthough I'm not predicting • scoreline.

I AM very disappointed being I drawn away to Leeds and another First Division team in this competition. But even so, sit the lads ere thrilled to be given the chance to again show a top Division side we can play. But 1rosily feel sorry for our supporters. The way we played Villa in the previous round we deserved • home drew. Our 2-0 win was full reward for our style. Although I wanted a home draw we're not frightened of going to Eliend Road, even though they have some extremely talented players. One player who we've got to keep a watchful eye for Is midfielder. Tony Currie. The difficult task of marking him will go to either Ricky Hill, if fit, or the more experienced Alan West. I don't envy their task. Our manager, David Pleat, went to watch Leeds against Chelsea recently and will no doubt have noticed their strengths and weak. nesses. The atmosphere at Elland Road will not worry us. H anything, it will reise our game. 11 Luton can get in some good League results before the tie, as a boost, I'll be even more confident of us doing well.

QUARTER-FINALS SOUTHAMPTON v. MANCHESTER CITY TERRY GENNOE (Soton)

ANYbonus. drawAlthough et home we Is an were melded • little disappointed we have got Manchester City, when there are Second end Third Division clubs still left Haying said that, though, we have got to bstthe best sides some time In the tournament, so we might es well start against the Maine Road outitt. Although Southampton haven't xactly sat the First Division alight thls season, our lantastic supporters have been behind us ell the way. The fans have continually encouraged us and we would like to ropey that loyalty with • good performance in the League Cup. When It comes to Cup games. they expect us to win every match, nd eithough it puts extra pressure on the players the suppOrters also litt us to greater things. Our opponents, Manchester City, have • tradition In Cup competitions as well and will prove very tough hurdle to overcome. They have some talented and household names like former Saint Mike Chennon, Brian Ificid, Dave Watson and Joe Corrigan to name but four, so Seints will have to ploy exceptionally well to progress to the Semi-Finals.

STOKE CITYv. WATFORD

MIKE CHANNON (Man. City)

I AM really looking forward to 1 visiting my former dub, Southampton, for thri first time since my transfer to Manchester Crty — as long as it is s happy return! I know from past experiences it Is not going to be easy. Saints have a reputation as a Cup side. Whether the manager. Tony Book, asks me for any information on their players. I'm not quite sure. he wil l anyway. But any rundown I can relay thet will help I'll be glad to do

Reeding In e replay in the previous round and they struck me as • workmanlike outfit — more so than when I pleyed for them. They ave Alan Bell who Is still pining vary well. Phil Boyer and Chris Nichol!. And Mongside some seful youngsters I am sure they will prove a handful to contain We will have some idea as to their tactics •nd plans when we clash with them in the L on Saturday (December gth) at Maine Road At the time of writing I do not know the result. Whatever It is will heve no bearing on our visit to The Dell.

GARTH CROOKS (Stoke)

IAN BOLTON (Watford)

AT wsthis•ppreciatati stage of the the competition, fact we had avoided a First Division club and were also drawn at home. That is not to say we will underestimate our opponents from th• Third Division. I believe they are a very capable side but it is the point that on papm we should be levour. as •nd therefore go through to

EVERYBODY was • little at dleappoInted VIcarege Road at being drawn away from home again. But, having said that, we ere still confident of getting the right result et Stoke. I have a lot of respect for their manager Alan Durban. He has translormed the club as their position In the Second Division show.. Bid we are doing likewise in the Third end It all points to e real cracking game. We will approach this match in the same frame of mind as we did for our trips to Manchester United and Exeter — determined to show we re capable of producing the oods and being a good advert for the Third. I must confess I know very little bout Stoke I remember playing against Brandon Otallaghen lad season. when he was with Doncaster Rosen. He's a talented lad and we will have to keep • close eye on him. It's going to be a tough game but I am very confident The Hornets will sting at the Victoria Ground and go through to the Semi-Finals — possibly after a repley.

Man•gar Alan Durban will, I'm sure, have Graham Taylor's lads watched and he will brief us fully before the clash. The fans et the Victoria Ground e in for • treat. Watford's strong point Is the fact they operate as • team They haven't any Individuals as •uch but function as • combine unit I've seen the Vicarage Road club on the television and they have impressed enormously. Although I've only been in the professional grime for • short while, I have teemed not to make any predictions. You so often come unstuck and look foolish I just hope our League Cup-tie is very entertaining game wrth plenty of goalmouth action.

I PSWICH

Town's F.A. Cup Final hero Roger Osborne has been plagued by injuries ever since his historic winner against Arsenal at Wembley in May. We wonder if n's caused him to reflect at all on what's happened to other Wembley winners of the past. It doesn't make particularly happy reading. Just look at whet has happened over the past dozen years. In 1966 Everton's match-winner against Sheffield Wednesday was little-known Cornishman Mike Trebilcock. The Yorkshiremen stormed into • two goal lead through Jim McCalliog and David Ford. But inspired by Trebilcock, Ever. ton came lighting back. His Iwo goals were followed by a matchwinner from Derek Temple. Yet the dapper, dark-haired Treblicock was rarely heard of again and faded out of the game altogether after a spell with Plymouth. The following year brought one of those rare parochial occasions when London lawn throbbed to the chants of rival Tottenham and Chelsea fans, And fittingly at the end pf the day it was a Landonir v.ho settled the argument, Frank Saul, one al the down-the-bill stars in Tottenham's glittering array of stars. shooting past Peter Bonetti to take the Cup back to White Hart Lane. Saul. who had kept out the much better-known Cliff Jones, never became one of the Spurs' established stars although he did continue in non-League football for several years. In the 1967-69 season, one goal sorted out the scrap between West Bromwich Albion and Everton. It was scored by Albion's England International striker Jeff Astle. Although his partner Tony Brown is still going strong at The Hawthorns, though, Jeff has now retired from the game, He drifted into non-League soccer with Weymouth, partly because a nagging knee injury was proving too troublesome for regular First Division football, Manchester City and Leicester City were at the twin towers twelve months later, and again a ingle goal was enough.

Ian fought black bravely. had • spell with Reading, but is still trying to recover his old zip with Sheffield Wednesday In 1974 it was Liverpool's turn to grace Wembley and no one in their right mind, would suggest other then that the posies ggggg against Newcastle Kevin Keegan ftwo) and Stevie Heighwey have enjoyed unqualified success since. But the story has been far from happy for the following year's hero. Alan Taylor rounded off a fantastic peraonsl triumph by scoring the two goals by which West Ham beat Fulham, just as he had done in the previous two rounds when he got two apiece against both Arsenal and Ipswich The stew was apperently set for the launching of a new star, yet Taylor has been cruelly affected by Injuries since that golden day, so much that even now, three-and-shall years later he has played less than 100 League g•rilea for The Hammers and has barely added to those goals. Yet another Second Division side — the third In Jour years — was at Wembley the next year — but what has happened to Southampton's star of the show, Bobby Stokes? He lett The Dell within a year. Moved down the coastline to Portsmouth and had his contract with them cancelled last March A fleeting moment of glory Indeed.

11 was scored by Manchester' Neil Young, and like Astle he I now lost to League football — made little impact after that head movement of 1969. There's no doubting the fallow ing year's match-winner is stil very much alive. David Webb of Chelsea was th man who denied Leeds United and he has since gone on to give sterling service to Queen. Per Rangers and Leicester. Ironically, the man who soul well have won the tie for Leeds ha now been out of the game becaus of injury for nearly Eye years.

Happy days again for MERVYN! n

N the last Saturday in October, Ham's young goalkeeper, Mervyn Day, stepped from the mists of reserve team footb•ll to take up his old stance between the first team posts when The Hammers lined-up against rival promotion-hopefuls, Brighton, at the Goldstone Ground. Day, an instant headline-stealer when he became a regular in the League side, at IS back in August, 1973, had made 219 appearances when he was dropped for the game with Leicester City, in December, last year His solitary recall, against Bristol City, in February, resulted from first-choice Bobby Ferguson being ko'd by flu. Now, the shoulder injury Ferguson suffered, and endured so bravely, in the match with Stoke, a few weeks back, has given Mervyn another opportunity. Playing for the reserves, before a sprinkling of spectators in an al mosphere that belonged to a public library, didn't come easy to the lowering youngster from Chelmsford, who, three years ago, was voted Young Player of the Year by his fellow professionals, and helped West Ham break Fulham heads in 'he Final of the F.A. Cup. The following season he was in The Hammers' team that reached, and lost, the Cup: Winners Cup Final.

JOEYJONES —glad to be backat Wrexham f GEV Jones. who left Wrexham se for the supercharged atmosphere of Anfield over three mars ago and made • triumphant man to the Racecourse Ground In Odober, is enjoying every minute of his football with is old club. Soya Joey: "I mad my debut for Wrexham in January 1973, against Rotherham. then w • transferred to Liverpool In 197S o spend three memorable years them — now I'm back on the ground where I com. menced my career, nd my family end myself are h ppy et the

Volunteered Mervyn, softly-spoken, and blessed with a temperament of mill-pond serenity, hes been a goalkeeper since the thy, in a schools game, he volunteered to fill the vacancy caused by the nonappearance of the regular 'keeper. "I was a bigger-than-average ten-year-old," recalled Mervyn, "and even though I'd always previously been an outfield player, I landed playing in goal, and after that first game. I really loved it. It was a lot of km for me, as a kid, all the diving and leaping about.He became so good at "all the diving and leaping about," Ron Greenwood, manager of West Ham at the time, moved swihly to ensure the goalkeeping talents of the 16-year-old giant, who lett his Chelmslord grammar school with six '0' levels reflecting an impressive mental agility, blossomed at Upton Park Under the perceptive eYe and relentless tuition of coach Ernie Gregory (a former Hammers' hero, whose 303 League outings in the Londoners' goal included a threeseason run when he didn't miss a game) Day's surge to the top was meteoric. But, with the first-half of last season's League programme drawing to • close, and West Ham staring uneasily at the approaching relegelian clouds, young Mervyn Day lost the glitter that had

won him so much acclaim, an with it, his place in the League team. "I felt terrible about droppin out of the side after four and a hal terms of continuous first team duty," confessed the West Ham 'keeper, "but when I went down with cartilage trouble the required an operation, last May, thought 1970 looked like being th worst year I'd ever known. "When I lost my place in th senior side. I weighed over 15 stone, and I knew there was n way I could hope for a return to th side carrying that amount I did a lot of training on my own, an really set myself a tough pro gramme to gel into proper shape "When I came back agains Brighton I had shed over a stone and I felt marvellous, although was sorry my return had been a the expense of Bobby's injury. "But, I'm back, and have my ow future to think about. I've bee given the chance to establis myself again in League football, and I aim to make the most of it. "I don't know whether I'll be ou again when Bobby is fit, but I'm happy •bout my form since returned. After playing in front of few hundred spectators, it's fan tastic being back in the big-tim gain, and involved in a push fo promotion. I don't intend giving all that up so e•sily." West Ham manager, John Lyall who appreciates, more than most the courage end determination o his Young goalkeeper as h climbed the daunting, often lonely slope that led to the first team goelposts, paid him this tribute: "I've been delighted with Mer vyn's form since he came into th side. All the old confidence i there, all the brilliant handling tha made him one of the most-talked about youngsters in the game no so long ego The lad has worked so hard on his own to lose over stone in weight it gives me tre mendous satisfaction to see him settling in so well." It looks as if happy days are her again for Mervyn, and tan everrothere who have thrilled t the dare-devil brilliance of this softly-spoken, unassumin sportsman, will surely agree h deserves them.

ALLAN CLARKE has a problem at Barnsley

spending money A LLAN lame Carte,during a front greal hisrunner spell of st Leeds In the glory days of Don Retie, is still playing football — but combining it with management. "Sniffer" as he was known ii FWnd Rood went to Barnsley to learn the "hol-seal" trade. But he sdll hopes to continue play. kg for another couple ol yews. He ad/mIls lo finding it hard combining the two — "bat I'm still lit and like playing so why not continue doing so." Clarke has this to say of lliS new ille as • Football League bws. "Menagement came sooner than I anticipated. 1had been thinking about ft for the last three or four years but when the Barnsley_ job name up, I knew it was hat what I had been looking for.

'Thriving' 'The real difference I've found is, as • player, you do your training and then go off to relax. But that's not what management is all about. "You have • lot of other problems to think of when you're the boss — things you just look for granted is player. But I feel this is something am going to enjoy. I thrive ender pressure, I did as • player and now the ones ol management are startlog to get the bed out al me." Clarke spent nine years at Leeds United and, in Mat Moe, helped the dub enjoy probably its greatest spell of success.

His greatest achievement? "Winning the League Championship title in 1973-74," he recalls. "It is the most difficult prize to win in this game because you truly here to be the best, mon consistent team over 42 games in s numb" And Allen's greatest disappointment? "That has to be in Parish 1975 when we lost the Europese Cup Final to Bayern Munich. We beat Burdena in the Semi-Finals and thought

we could win II. We dominated the first hour of the Final but got caught by Iwo breakaway gosh. II was my darkest hour with the club." So after pkdng with such distinction, how hos Clmite adapled to a manger? "I realised how difficult it could be, especially spending money. We base • little available and I needs couple of players to strengthen my tint 101111 squad. But you ring up alter a player, and dubs want the earth lor them. It's almost Impossible to buy the right player for the right price. "You we always learning something in this job. Neter think you are bigger than the club whether you're • messier or a player. I'm picking up new things every day. "I've got one or two really good youngsters here; klds aged about 19 OF 28 who could really become something. llut mithough they've got peal polential, I've only got a couple of doyen with much experience and I'd Ide some more. "Targets? I haven't set myself any. It depends on II lot of things. I dm to play as long as I'm 'Jadeite the side. But I won't go on past that stage." At 32, Clarke can now look back st Leeds and we few remains of the days he knew. Only players like Paul Madeley sad the Gray brothers have survived Irom hls clays at Elland Road. The tutwe for Leeds — as Clarke sees it? "I don't mean to be big headed or anything like that," he says, "but I honestly don't kel Leeds will ever hare another team like they had fire or six years ego. To have a squad like we had al that lime only happens once in • lifetime, at dub level. There is enough quality and ability at Leeds these days to win trophies, but soother side like we had In the early 1970's? I don't think it will happen. "But Leeds are in limped now. All I'm thinking about is my Sure es • manager. II I have es much successas a bass as I did as a player with Leeds Men I Wall be very fortunate indeed."

To F , the glamour of toplevel football is a different world. Rochdale finished bottom of the League last season, his first as managerThe dub an" so hard up that, before this season, they last paid money for • player In 1973, when striker Bob Mountford was signed from Pod Vale for E2,500.

He explaina "For the first time in years Rochdale have th• money to •trengthen the side. I have 00000 d terms with several clubs for players. but despite being offered good money they won't come to Rochdale.

'Pressure' "When I took the job I knew the casualty rate among managers in the lower Divisions was high It is not the pressure that gets me, but the frustration of it all." Ferguson has also unsuccessfully tried to tempt well-known names like Bobby Chariton end Billy Bremner out of retirement. He is one of only lour full time members of Rochdelds administrative and m aaaaa na sta . Secretary Tom Nichol is also in charge of the youth policy. and Jimmy Robson is club coach. Before Rochdale recently appointed a commercial numanr, Fortson did that es well "h I b goes through me or the secretary," says Ferguson. "I deal with everything from answering the phone to trying to arrange transfers. "It is something you get used to But some managers do not realise how lucky they ere."

Rochdale used to have • two men scouting system — but both Pert-timers lett to join more fashionable clubs. In an attempt to create • link with the local community Ferguson Insists the club's staff visit schools in the Rochdale area Youngsters come to the ground during school holidays, and playare ere encouraged to supervise football clinics. Ferguson had en early indication that professional soccer is not all about schoolboy dreams like scoring the winning goal in the F A Cup Final. He began his c00000 with ill-fsted Accrington Stanley, who folded soon after he, then 17, had refused to sign for Workington. Atter spells at Blackburn, Aston Villa, EI.P.R and Cambridge United, he joined Rochd•le in 1974. Although • fit 35, hls football nowadays is limited to training with his squad of 14 professionals end two apprentices. "At Immo clubs I suppose I would be regi aaaaad with the Football League es a player in case of emergency. But that costs money. To register me Rochdale would have to pay the League E250 and me E250.

RI OTTS County's talented midi IIfield men lain McCulloch is yet another skilful Scot hoping to make his mark in English football. The Megples paid out • club record transfer fee of 680,000 to bring the 23-year-old from his home town Kilmarnock last April. McCulloch was signed AFTER the transfer deadline which meant he hed to waft until the beginning of the new season before making his League debut. Although Notts were on the receiving end of • 5-2 thrashing. McCulloch quickly enablished himself by scoring both County's gong Although Jimmy Sirrers men got off to s poor start to this term, McCulloch is enloying life at Meadow Lane. "Yes Ft's been • great few months. We have • really nice bunch of lads in the side who have done their best to make me feel et home, both on and off the field. I couldn't hen wished for • better start to file In England," he says. McCulloch was • key member of the Kilmarnock side, Int because of his part-time lob es e heating engineer It was difficult to combine both work end football. "it got • bit much when I used to work all hours during the day end then go training at night. Sometime, we would hese • big match coming up end I would find myself at work on • Saturday morning. "Certainly not the best way to prepare yourself for a tough 90 minutes "I had made up my mind to come to England end I don't have any regrets. At first it was difficult because I was leaving my home, my lemlly and ell the people I have grown up with. But now I am more settled," admits McCulloch. His game has certainly become much dumper since he began full

time training. While the rest of the County side struggled to find their form, McCulloch's speed and confidence began to trouble defences. In a bld to increase County's scoring power up-front, SIrrel switched him to left-wing following Steve Carter's departure to Derby County. But now McCulloch Is back In his normal midfield role, Says SIrrel; "I heard about lain round three or four years ago when he was Just a youngner. But the funny thing wes when I first sew him play In Scotland he did not Impress me too mush. "We continued to have him watched. Good reports kept coming back to me so Inds • number of trips up to Kilmarnock before finally deciding to try and get him to sign for us.

'Impressed' "lain will continue to get better, there is no doubt about tint. in Is very exciting player end • Seer ball player who I am sure humble future in the game. "I know • lot of people are already Impressed by whet they have seen." Some County fans are already beginning to compare McCulloch with Ian Scanlon, who left the club lest year to joln Aberdeen. But McCulloch is looking forward to stamping his own style on the Second Division; "It Is difficult to say one player looks like another. I want to show people what I can do." McCulloch hes only one smell complaint: "When I see my name in the paper • lot of reporters forget my first name has en 'I' In it. Although I'm always glad when I get e mention!" One thing is certain. Guile • number of people will be keeping an EYE on McCulloch this season!

I think that's what you call the changing face of soccer. On soolher page there were four photographs of HiIn players—Jimmy O'Rourke, John Hinkley, Johnny Hamilton and Arthur Duncan. Only one ol them — Duncan — is still playing at Enter Road. And look al the way things have gone for the other three.

Testing time LAST Leagueseason Cup alCeltic Hampden met Rangers and lost in 2-1 the in extra-time in their 14th successive Final in this tournament. In goal for the Parkhmd men that afternoon was Peter Latchford while Stewart Kennedy guarded the line for the Ibrox side. Neither Latchford nor Kennedy are likely to play when the Old Firm meet in what promises to be a dramatic Semi-Finel at Hampden on Wednesday (December 131. Roy Beiges has taken over from fellowEnglishman Latchford and Peter McCloy has replaced Kennedy ft's going to be a testing time for both at Hampden, but they are looking forward to the big game. "I just hope I play." says Baines, taking nothing ler gmmed. "Ws great to be involved in the first team again and I know I must maintain top form if I am to keep Peter out.

"We played Rangers at Hampden in the Premier Division m•tch recently and drew 1-1 which most people seemed to think was a fair result. We were leading 1-0 with skipper Andy Lynch putting us ahead with a superb goal, but Alex Forsyth equalised for Rangers with • panely-kick shortly afterwards. "t1 we had taken It more calmly after our goal and kept a grip on the game we would have gone on to win. That's one lesson learned . . it should come in handy on Wednesday." On the other side of the field McCloy will be doing his best to defy the Celtic raiders. He was the busier of the two goalkeepers during that League encounter and distinguished himself with several first class saves. "I wouldn't mind a repeat this time out," says Peter, the tallest 'keeper et 6ft 4in in Scotland. However, he adds quickly: "Only this time I want to see Rangers winning, of course.

Aberdeen end !fibs meet in the other League Cup Semi-Final on this neutral ground and the sparks are certain to fly as these two experienced and highly entertaining teams battle ft out for the right to play at Hampden in the Final on December 23. Joe H•rpar, goe thief extraordinary, will be the man Hibs will have to curb while, at the other end. the Easter Road side's dangerman will be the unpredictable, enigmatic Ally MacLeod. These two dynamic raiders know all about the pressures todey's soccer world can bring and their careers, in fact, have uncanny parallels. Harper started his career with Morton while MacLeod began his with new-neighbours St. Mirren. Harper has had spells in England with both Huddersfield and Everton while MacLeod has tried his luck with Southampton. Both were team-mates at Hibs before Harper took his shooting boots to Piftodrie for a second time. Now both face up to each other as modern day duelists at Dens Park and it's a shoot-out that should prove to be extremely
