WHAT are the modern day footballers thinking of after one of them scores a goal?

Looking at the photograph (Echo, June 19, p 47), I counted six players on top of the scorer with another one in flight diving on top of this heap.

My calculations at this stage is half a ton of muscle and bone, then there are I suppose another five waiting to dive in.

The chances of injury to the person on the bottom must be pretty high.

I think it is about time the FA stepped in and brought a stop to it.

Why does the referee not let the game restart say after 30 seconds of congratulating one another, I sure that would stop this possible dangerous act.

Did you ever see the likes of Len Shackleton, Jackie Milburn or Wilf Mannion carry on like this after scoring a goal, No they shook each other’s hand and got on with the game.
