Sports Letter: Bad example
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Ken Jones recently mentioned one possible reason for the lack of quality in present day players. If players spent more time practising the skills of the game and less in perfecting their celebration techniques, their ability might even improve.
I remember a game in my youth in which the great Tommy Lawton scored a wonderful individual goal. He immediately turned away and trotted back to the centre with an occasional slap on the back.
Today's kids copy their heroes, but sadly only the worst of what they see.
