LETTER : Play for today

SPORTS LETTERS

From R L Hammond

Sir: There have been lots of comments by journalists and others suggesting that English supporters will not tolerate possession football, preferring the non-cerebral all-action game favoured by Charles Hughes.

I'm a Manchester United supporter and after watching the game with Liverpool on Sunday, I must confess, and it hurts to admit it, I could watch the type of possession game Liverpool play every week. If they can do it why can't the rest?

Yours faithfully

R L HAMMOND,

Lowestoft,
