MICKIE SCORES
There passed awav not long aco in the North of England a little fellow of nine who died without,knowing that his last wish had been fulfilled. He was Leslie Carter, a Norton-on-Tees boy, who had been in hospital a long time. All his talk had been about his hero Mickie Fenton, Middlesborough's international centre-forward, and every Saturday Leslie asked, "Has Mickie scored ?"
One day Mickie Walked into the hospital and chatted with the boy. It was a great timo for Leslie. Unhappily lie quickly grew worse. and his last words were. "Has Mickic been?" Mickie Fenton had been, but Leslie had been too ill to recognise him.
