In Canadian Soccer TORONTO (CP)=Errol Cros- san, one of the few Canadians to make the grade in British soccer, finds the atmosphere at games in Canada is more like that on the Continent than in the United Kingdom. "While British crowds roar and cheer, fans here tend to whistle and hoot," says the 30- year-old outside right, who has noticed the large number of Continental-born fans at Cana- dian soccer games. "And then there are the Con- tinental players as well. It makes the atmosphere quite dif- ferent from England." Crossan, who was born In Montreal but left the city when young, was signed by Toronto City of the Eastern Canada Pro- fessional Soccer League in June from Leyton Orient of the Eng- lish League second division. The speedy winger, who de- veloped his skills in Vancouver = after the Second World. War, has returned to Canada per- manently after seven seasons in England. THINKS OF FUTURE "At 30 you have to make a big decision like this and think of the future," says Crossan, who played for Manchester City, Gillingham, Southend United, Norwich City and Leyton Orient in the English league. "I'm glad to be back." Another consideration is pay. Without disclosing how much he is receiving from Toronto City, he says it is more than he would get in England, where top money until this season was about $55 a week, Crossan found it "a great experience" playing alongside such British players as Stan essary to build up the game/I can't Matthews, Danny Blanchflower here, Later on clubs won't need makes it the greatest in the {and Johnny Haynes, all signed so many of them as they de- world."
