Warren was breaking it to Collins that the purse for his comeback fight will not be huge, reflecting the fact that he is no longer the champ Their two associates listened intently. One of them was the former world super- middleweight champion Steve Collins, who wants to come out of retirement. Let's remember the original concept, and limit eligibility to parents' origins, and particularly ban movement of any player who has represented another nation .Name and address supplied. LAST FRIDAY afternoon, four men sat in animated conversation at a corner table in the lounge of London's Grosvenor House Hotel. I for one won't continue watching Welchester Utd, with all the best players persuaded to play for our nation.
We should stop this dilution of national teams, leaving the whole concept open to ridicule. I would rather see a Welsh team made up of Welsh players lose than a team tagged together win. The case of having so many Kiwis (and capped to boot) playing for both nations on Saturday in the Scotland-Wales Five Nations game is a case in point. Is there no pride left? In football, cricket, etc, the case is the same. I have no intention of jeopardising the club's long-term prosperity by allowing any of its future income to be diverted towards helping Mr Goldberg out of the hole which he seems to have dug for himself Name and address supplied. Sir: I write to complain at the pathetic reduction of national sports, into a free for all of "jack of all nations".
He says he is disturbed "if the FA really sounded out senior members of the England squad". How else is the FA to know whether or not the team has finally given up on Hoddle, whose estimate of Eileen Drewery is that she is invaluable to the side Saying "Mrs Drewery did no harm" makes Kelly an ostrich. But for her and her ideas, Hoddle, in his recent and previous interviews, would have been focused on football - but then, she allegedly cured his allegedly severe hamstring injury overnight.. Sir: I read in your newspaper today (9 February) that Mark Goldberg, the Crystal Palace chairman, is to offer five-year season tickets to fans in an attempt to solve the club's financial problems. I am a Palace supporter and season ticket holder of many years' standing - and I fully intend to be at every home game in the next five years, whatever division we are playing in - but I would not take up such an offer from Mr Goldberg. Sir: Common sense is absent from Graham Kelly's article about Glenn Hoddle (3 February).
