COLIN APPLETON, Left Half (Captain) Longest-serving player.  He joined Leicester from Scarborough in 195,4.  On the fringe of England honours.  A driving, 90-minute skipper; also a careful thinker with a quick tackle.  Completes the same Leicester half-back line as faced Spurs here two years ago.  Height 5 ft. 9 in., weight 11 st.II Ib.

HOWARD RILEY, Outside Right England Under-23 international.

GRAHAM CROSS, Inside Right At 19 the " babe " of the side. Popular playing discovery of the season.

DAVIE GIBSON, Inside Left Brilliant, bow-legged Scot who cost £25,000 from Hibernian in January, 1962.  A really talented ball player, accurate forward " general " of the side, switches play with baffling speed.  Certain to have a long international career with Scotland.
