Motherwell's Tour: An "Experience of a Lifetime"
Coverage of Motherwell's trip to South America
Motherwell arrives back to Scotland after their months-long tour of South America. Extensive comments from Motherwell manager John "Sailor" Hunter, who praised the Argentines: "[we] did not anticipate football of such high order ... and were astonished by the fine conception of the game exhibited by the players. Their ball control is simply magnificent, while their speed is a perfect revelation." He did criticize the quality of refereeing and the bad sportsmanship of local fans; however, his worst criticism was for the local press, who he blamed for faking an interview (where Hunter said the Scots had come to teach the locals "how to play" football) and then issuing an aoplogy for fabricating the interview --- an apology Hunter says has never been mentioned in the press. Motherwell finished its tour with eleven games -- six wins, four losses, and one draw.

Motherwell arrives back to Scotland after their months-long tour of South America.

He labeled that interview as "faked" and instead praised the Argentines: "The people over there don´t require to be taugt how to play football ... their ball control is simply magnificent, and they are as alert as deers." He did criticize the quality of refereeing and the bad sportsmanship of local fans. Motherwell finished its tour with eleven games -- six wins, four losses, and one draw.
