(CP Wirephoto) | ocal Talent Needed | Sir Stanley Claims By CARL MOLLINS LONDON (CP)--Sir Stanley Matthews, soccer maestro with transatlantic experience, says the big-time game is as 'far away from North America as the youngster booting a ball around the corner sand- lot is from World-class soccer stardom. In other words, promoters . trying to transplant top soc- cer competition full - blown from Europe should prepare instead for long-haul promo- tion based on developing local talent from boyhood up. "The first thing they've got to do is get first - class coaches," Matthews said in a telephone interview from Stoke - on - Trent, where he manages Port Vale of the English League's fourth divi- sion. "That is the most impor- tant thing. "Then they need to develop players, to stimulate interest among young people. In Can- ada, I saw some signs that the game is becoming more popular in the schools. In the United States, I don't know." Matthews, 52, was emphatic on one topic--"they won't get first-class players from here"' on a permanent basis, with or without the sanction of FIFA, soccer's international govern- ing body. FACE SUSPENSION The National Professional Soccer League, opening this spring in nine U.S. cities and Toronto without FIFA sanc- tions, is counting mainly on foreign players recruited de- spite a FIFA warning of life suspension from the rest of the soccer-playing world, The rival North American Soccer League, FIFA-approved, is starting up with a summer schedule featuring borrowed overseas teams. Matthews, the former Blackpool wizard who has played many times in North America, including two sum- 'mer seasons in 1961 and 1962 for Toronto City of the Fastern Canadian Pro- fessional Soccer League, said the promise of swanky condi- tions and sound salaries will not lure top players to North America. "That's a certainty," Mat- thews said. "A good player here gets 100 quid a week, plus big signing-on fees and bonuses. If he's with a good team, he can make more bonus-money playing in the European Cup and those other internationals." WILL LOSE IDENTITY Matthews might have added that top players who are at least hometown heroes, if not national or international ce- lebrities, would become vir- tual nonentities beside base-. ball, hockey or North Ameri- can football stars on the other side of the Atlantic. A salary of £100 a week is worth con- siderably more here, espe- cially in centres outside Lon- don, than the equivalent $300 in Canadian funds in Vancou- ver or Toronto. As for joining the outlawed NPSL, "why would a first- class player trade that for a good life here and face sus- pension for life, especially when he is taking a gamble that the league is going to last over there?" Matthews said out players who have signed 0i with the NPSL 'were having trouble holding their jobs here on anyway.' The new league might get men from the third or fourth divisions of the Eng- lish League, but probably few promising young players even there. Asked how he would advise a promising | young English player' with a chance to play in North America, Matthews replied: "Tf the offer was under FIFA rules and it was a good contract, I suppose it might be worth a young chap taking a chance. But the question probably wouldn't arise, be- cause if he was really promis- ing he'd be making good money here and wouldn't be tempted to leave." PASSES UP WINNIPEG Matthews, who quit full- time playing two years ago but still plays exhibitions, Tigres, Canadiens Win League Games Les Tigres et Les Canadiens --winners in the French-Cana- dian Hockey League schedule action last weekend, each scor- ed seven goals to subdue their opponents, Tigres defeating Al- ouettes 7-1 while Canadiens won 7-2 over Acadiens. R. Richard and F. Lambert scored for Acadiens while Roul- eau and Brideau each scored a pair for Canadiens, with R. Deblois, R. Clouthier and B. Bois scoring the other goals for the winners. R. Dorval potted the orphan tally for Alouettes while J. Va- chon was the big gun for Tigres, a pair, with Picard and E. ton. Celtics, Trotters Post Hoop Wins BOWMANVILE (Staff) -- Cel- tics romped to a 40-9 victory over B.T.S. and Trotters down- ed Diplomats 37-28 in Bowman- ville Recreation Backetball Lea- gue play. Henry Pokorski hooped 16 points for Celtics with George Connors adding 14, Brian Saun- ders four, Lee Lemon four and Dan Lemon two. Blasdell scor- ed seven for B.T.S. and Liebre- cht two. said he had to turn down an offer to play in Winnipeg next summer because of commit- ments in Zambia and Kenya. He said he has received no coaching or management of- fers connected with either of the two new North American leagues. What would he do if he did receive an. offer? "T don't know whether I'd go or not. It would depend for a start on whether the price was right." Meantime, Matthews is con- centrating on a youth-develop- ment program at Port Vale, a club halfway up the 24-team fourth division table--a region where other clubs are in- volved in a struggle for finan- cial survival. "We can survive," Mat- thews said. "I've been here 18 months, They asked me 18 months ago would I help. I said, 'Right,' but we've got to start with young boys. We must have a foundation. It will take time, but the pro- gram is progressing." In the Matthews view, it is the kind of program--multi- plied -- that North America must adopt if that continent ever wants more than third- or fourth-rate imported soccer on a permanent basis. with three goals.
