Soccer Star- interesting read

[BarnleyBurnsley]

My grandson just had a load of old Soccer Star magazines given from the 1960's and I found this from Feb 20th 1960. There may be a few who post on here who could do with reading it:-
I am sure that our supporters have come to realise that their backing is a potent weapon added to our armoury. After all,they want good results and must appreciate, I think,that how they react both before the start of a match and while it is being played, can have a big bearing on the performance of the team. I can assure you that a player out to give of his best is greatly encouraged when he feels his own club's supporters are right behind him.If on the other hand, he feels that he is deprived of confidence on their part, it is bound to be detrimental to his efforts. Everywhere there are spectators who think they can drive on their team by abuse. Believe me, it is very false thinking. Fortunately, I am proud to be able to say that here at Turf Moor, we are very happy about the help the fans give us. - Mr.Harry Potts, Burnley manager.
Still true do you think?

A gem, no doubt. There are lots of similar examples from his old "Harry Potts Calling" programme notes. Amazing syntax.

As I started to read that I thought to myself, this has to be Harry Potts.

Great find and great words from the great man.

Do you have a picture of the magazine article? Love the old pics.

The fact that that sixties team got abuse shows it's a case of fans with issues. Even now, who would not prefer to be a regular watching that magnificent team at their peak.
