TERRACE BAY NEWS By Gien May Page 7 He just wants fo play Ernie Winchester paced nervously around his hotel room forcing the flash of a smile to certain questions, but to most, only a scowl and a quick "no comment" shake of his head. He is 23, a way from his Scottish homeland of Ab- erdeen for the first time, and currently the most con- troversial soccer player to land in North America. Looking out the window of his hotel he almost showed no emotion when he remarked: "In a little while I'll talk. I just can't say anything right now." What makes this likeable athlete shy away from a press interview? Need won't he talk now? The reasons may never be completely known. This young father of a nine-month-old lass named Julie doesn't want to publicly say why he "jumped" the Aberdeen Football Club of the Scottish First Division to sign a contract with Chicago Spurs of the infant National Professional Soccer League. He would rather talk about his wife of two years, May. What has happened to this young man who at 17 was playing with Aberdeen against the famed Glasgow Rangers? At 12 he was the captain of the Scottish schoolboys. He admits he loves life, and to him, life "is playing foot- ball." After four outstanding sea- sons with Aberdeen, Ernie sud- denly discovered he was no longer a regular. In fact, he spent most of his time during the next two seasons sitting in the stands as a spectator. "T played in bits," he said, "put I was unhappy with Ab- erdeen. I was bored to tears. They said I wasn't good enough to be a regular, so I just sat." Not good enough? When Aberdeen put Ernie Winchester up for sale or trade they placed a $90,000 price tag on his services. There were no takers for two years, although during 1965 Ab- erdeen originally said he wasn't for sale or trade. It was shortly after that he was placed on the block, but again, he offered a terse "no com- ment" when asked the reason. Now Ernie relaxed. Strad- dling the corner of a bed he chatted about football in gen- eral, explaining he doesn't har- bor any "hard feelings" toward Aberdeen. ; His mind wandered back to the day he made the decision to quit the Scottish club after "many months" of thinking. Quick movement. Back to pac- ing the floor, jiggling a hand- ful of coins, left to right, look- ing everywhere but at the reporter. In six seasons he scored 1177 goals in First Division play. This is comparable to a 35-goal man in hockey ora 300 hitter in major baseball. But not good enough to re- main a_ regular. Not good enough but, priced at $90,000. "I'm making more money. with Chicago than I was with Aberdeen, but a football play- er's career is short when you play professionally. I'll be fin- ished in 10 years. I've got to make my money now." If he remained with Ab- erdeen it would have been a basic salary. No bonus or play- off .money. The extra bread and butter would be missing. His closely-cropped _ black hair bristled when he revealed he is still under contract to Aberdeen for the 1966-67 season. However, Al Kaczmarek, Spurs' general manager, said from Chicago: "He is bound automatically next year, but that's by a slave clause. We don't recognize slave clauses in North Amer- ica. The boy would have to go a year without a salary. "Ernie approached me and we signed him. I'm happy to have such a big star playing with Chicago." When asked if Winchester could make any comment on his present Situation, Kaczmarek snapped, "Not ht he gets back to Chicago." As the interview ended Er- nie slumped down into a com- fortable couch and began to read the newspaper. He wanted to be left alone. Leaving the room a remark he made suddenly seemed very important. "For the past two years foot- ball has been denied me. It is my life. I'm just a kid at heart. Give me a ball and let me play." Maybe, Ernie, maybe.
