Fruitful encounter
NZPA London The quote of the week-end must surely be from the Southampton soccer manager, Lawrie McMenemy, after his team defeated Portsmouth in the F.A. Cup last Saturday. Portsmouth fans continually threw coins and fruit on to the ground during the
match, halting play several times. Ironically, the delays caused several minutes to be added to the match, during which Southampton scored its winning goal. After the match, Mr McMenemy said: “It was a good result. We picked up a few pounds in loose change and two pounds of bananas.”
