Motherwell F.C. Home: Successful Tour in Argentine
Subject
Coverage of Motherwell's trip to South America
Description
Motherwell arrives back to Scotland after their months-long tour of South America. What makes this article interesting is that Motherwell manager John "Sailor" Hunter refutes the account in the Buenos Aires press that he said the Scots had arrived to "teach the locals how to play football." 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.
