...eleven after all is only an expression of opinion, and opinions differ. The Sun is an enterprising newspaper, but its selections represent only itself. The tendency to write up individuals and play down the team has gone far enough. We need to start current in the other direction. The "star system" of the stage ought not to be transported to the stadium...
