THE GUARDIAN Saturday May 26 1990 Shilton hangs on to his saving grace Gates dMroe )irato(r Wongs 18 SPORTS NEWS Cynthia Batamm Prank Keating says this week's mistakes will hone the master's perfectionism Robsoifled his squad into Sardinia yesterday, when local interest consisted mainly of security police and paparazzi. While players, officials, wives and girlfriends walked straight to their coaches, the manager pledged: "We want to be the people's team. I'm here to give this attempt to win the World Cup every single moment of my attention. It's a very important part of my life and I'll give it wholehearted effort." Hopes of a French cup and league double by Marseille -honestly feeMharmy place is with Manchester City. It might have been a different story if I had not made so many changes here.

"However, I have changed things around a great deal and told players something special is going to happen here. I cannot preach loyalty to them with one breath and then walk out the next" Immediately after news on Thursday of Robson's intention to resign, Kendall said he thought the matter of his successor was "already cut and Bookmakers make Graham Taylor, the Aston Villa manager, the 7-2 on favourite; Terry Venables, manager of Tottenham Hotspur, is the other shortlisted candidate. Kendall, who said yesterday that he was "honoured to have been selected for interview tint SI OWARD KENDALL, I I one of three candi- I I dates on tne Football Association's shortlist for a successor to Bobby Robson, yesterday turned down an interview for the England manager's job. Kendall, who had a release clause in his contract to cover such an eventuality when he joined Manchester City in De cember, said at a press conter-ence at Maine Road that he did not wish to be considered. "The FA asked my chairman, Peter Swales, for permission to inter view me, but after considerable thought I declined, he said.

He admitted he would have jumped at the England job had it been ottered when he returned from Spain after being dismissed by Athletic Bilbao at the end of last year. "But now I have an exciting job here," he IPs. wvjani Robsomi owes his soul to Ooaftclh company store strip down for his shower. "His perfectionism is simply incredible," says Robson. So echo Mr and Mrs Shilton, his parents, who nave lived with it far longer.

His father, Les, a former greengrocer who used to go round "scouting" on rivals when Peter was being tipped to play for England Schoolboys in the mid-1960s, seeing who might have the edge on him in one department or the other, says: "As long as the family can remember, everything had to be just so with Peter. No half-larks about it. Tidy, smart, efficient, spot-on. Even with his homework, even if it was ten o'clock at night. As for his boots, even the laces had to be tested for strength and cleaned for whiteness the night before a match." May, his mother, picks up the theme.

"He was simply a perfectionist in everything: meals, clothes, hair, speech, manners, etiquette, everything had to be 100 per cent, nothing less. In a way it was quite wearing, because he expected the same standards from us and the whole family." She laughs, proud but full of exasperating remembrance of the family's days in the flat above their grocer's shop in Braunstone. What is astonishing and testament to the goalkeeper's single-minded genius is that six World Cups have come and gone, including the one Shilton embarked on yesterday, since he first looked to take on the world. In 1970 he was 20, and Sir Alf Ramsey took him on the South American tour before the Mexico finals. When they arrived in Mexico Bobby Moore being briefly detained, remember, in Bogota Ramsey had to drop six from the squad.

He kept blasts from the past, golden oldies, and sent back Coates, Kidd, McNab, Sadler, Thompson and the apprentice, Shilton. Shilton was horrified, even at that age. "Take it from me," laughs Holmes and Lineker alongside him gleefully concurs "as he flew home Peter would have spent the whole flight in one gloomy grumble, convinced that Sir Alf had done totally the wrong thing." Back in Mexico, Gordon Banks fell sick just before the quarter-final against West Germany, and the reserve Peter Bonetti deputised and had, well, a stinker; the Cat was not the Cat. And one still has to wonder, 20 years on, how young Shilton might have coped with the pressure; had England beaten West Germany that day, they might well have gone on to retain the golden bauble. The self-assured tyro had already as good as deposed Banks David Laeey weighs up the England manager's decision to hand in his notice plots his path to redemption in ONE important side-effect of the Bobby Rob-son brouhaha as the England team flew out yesterday was that it averted a weekend of full-scale, hand-wringing punditry over Peter Shilton's two unlikely lapses at Wembley on Tuesday.

Pensioner Peter Must Go was definitely not the sort of headline send-off the team needed. Shilton is their rock, their totem. With Bryan Robson he represents the very foundation of the team's self-confidence. It is enough now to have a comforting near-certainty that Uruguay's two goals at Wembley the first having the goalkeeper stuck Leightonesque in no-man's land, the second a bullet he could only push into the net at full stretch will represent the goalkeeper's sole mistakes for the next six weeks. On his own astonishing law of averages, over more than two decades in the firing line, Shilton's misjudgments have but seldom come up as a double.

The perfectionist in the pullover is not too arrogant to admit both the possibility and the fact of mistakes. "I'm not afraid of them; I'm not afraid of anything. You make mistakes in work and in life. You've just got to pick yourself up and go on proving you're the very best there is at not making many." Shilton's amiable business manager John Holmes, who also manages those two other celebrated sons of Leicester, Gary Lineker and David Gower, says: "Don't even ask Shilts to his face about last night's goals. He knows his geometry to the millimetre.

There'll be a bit of a depression, then a full-scale examination going on in his head. Well, he's the ultimate perfectionist, isn't he?" His captain, Bryan Robson, once told me, almost in awe, of coming off after a good win in the last World Cup in Mexico, with no goals conceded and all the cheery, whooping jollity and banter of triumph, "and there was Shilts, massive on his bench, head in hands, just concentrating on assessing his performance, re-running his game through his mind, dwelling perhaps on some tiny, minuscule miscalculation that not a soul would have noticed." Then, with a sudden slap on a great muddy thigh, Shilton would snap out of his reverie and be one of the lads again and Wise ponders 1.5m move to Chelsea DENNIS WISE, the Wimbledon and England winger, will decide this weekend whether to move to Chelsea in a 1.5 million transfer. Wise has had talks with Chelsea and the clubs are believed to have agreed the deal. The Stamford Bridge club have already signed Andy Townsend, the Republic of Ireland World Cup midfield player, from Norwich for 1.1 million. Five first-team regulars at Brighton the leading scorer Kevin Bremner, the long-serving goalkeeper Perry Digweed, along with Keith Dublin, John Crumplin and Gary Chivers have refused to sign new contracts with the club and are up for sale.

Chester's hopes of ground-sharing with Wrexham next season appeared to be fading after the Third Division club failed to meet a Football League deadline for producing written police approval of the scheme as well as the consent of the local authority and Welsh FA. Chester, who sold their Sea-land Road ground for development, even though they had no new ground to go to, may now seek an alternative ground-share with Stockport, moves to share with Manchester City and Widnes rugby league club having fallen through. NGLAND's World Cup squad new to Cagnari lyesterday with the cat out of the bag and poised to leap into the lap of Philips, the Dutch electrical giant Eindhoven is a company town, PSV are the company team and for the next two years, unless there are any unforeseen hitches, Bobby Robson will owe his soul to the company store. Robson decision to leave the England job after eight years, with 12 months of his contract remaining, should not be an issue. Having ascertained from Bert Millichip, the chairman of the Football Association, that he was not going to be offered a new contract, Robson was entitled to talk to PSV or any other club interested in his services.

The situation has been handled with reasonable propriety by all concerned. Unlike the late Don Revie, Robson has not sounded out prospective employers using a trip to check on future World Cup opponents as cover. Neither has he made clandestine flights wearing dark glasses. However, the timing of the announcement could not have been worse. Robson announced his squad for Italy on Monday and the following night England lost their 17-match unbeaten record to Uruguay in their last home game before the World Cup.

(we now know that England lost their first and last matches at Wembley under Robson by the same score, West Germany winning 2-1 there in 1982.) At Wembley late on Tuesday night Robson was in a benign mood as he discussed the Uruguay match. One did not sus pect that before the week was out the England players would be facing a more severe test of morale. By Thursday afternoon, however, he was accusing the press of ruining his preparations for Italy by pub Italy photograph: frank baron against Scotland, top-hand, mid-air turn, full stretch or the three, one after the other, against Stoke that had Jimmy Greenhoff beating the turf in both frenzy and admiring rapture or when he strung about ten together on the trot against QPR that day or in the European final for Forest against Hamburg when all Europe rose to him at the end and on and on, "and don't worry about Shilts, a couple of fractional mistakes and he al ways twice as good next time, you'll see." Cooper injury worry for Roxburgh DAVIE COOPER, the Motherwell winger, will miss Scotland's friendly international against Malta on Monday with tendinitis in his left big toe, an injury which will worry the Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh in the run-up to the World Cup. Cooper, 34, missed Scotland's training session yesterday. He is confident he will be fit before the Scots arrive in Genoa on June 6 but Roxburgh, who has to submit his official list of 22 players for the World Cup to Fifa on Tuesday, is concerned about his condition.

"I have told certain players to be ready in case the circumstances were to change," said Roxburgh. "I don't think we are at that stage yet, but Davie's injury is certainly a worry." Stewart McKimmie, the Aberdeen full-back who has damaged knee ligaments, is back in training, along with Alex McLeish, his captain at Pitto-drie, who has a broken nose. There are rumblings of discontent in Italy. The paramilitary forces sent io Sardinia to police Dutch and English football supporters have complained about being billeted in subsidised housing built for poor families, and Italian air traffic controllers have called a strike for six hours each day on June 4, 5 and 6. only in the media but by the a is 44.

He can attord to wait. lishing further sleazy allegations about his private life and forcing the FA to reveal the PSV angle earlier than he had intended. But if he had hoped to keep the matter quiet until he had spoken to the players in Sardinia next week, both he and the FA were being a trifle optimistic. Several hours before Thursday's press conference at Lancaster Gate, English journalists in Vienna for yesterday's Uefa meeting were being told by Dutch colleagues that PSV wanted an answer from Robson by the weekend, and Millichip, a member of the Uefa executive, more or less confirmed this without actually saying so. So while Robson was entitled to be angry about reports saying he had offered his resignation because of allegations in a forthcoming book, he was being naive if he thought his link with PSV could have been kept secret much longer.

When Rinus Michels took the Dutch to their 1988 European Championship triumph it was known that he was on his way, fatefully as things turned out to Bayer Leverkusen in the West German league. The sombre Austrian Ernst Happel took time off from man aging Bruges to take Holland to the final of the 1978 World Cup, Michels having done as much in 1974 when he was manager of Barcelona. Holland's national managers are ships that pass in the night. English football still expects its men to remain on the bridge until the water is up to their Adam's apples unless they are Sir Alf Ramsey, who was thrown overboard. Robson is not in charge of a sinking ship, but sooner or later England are likely to be torpedoed in Italy and he already has one foot in the life boat.

An England team have never gone into a major tourna ment in quite this situation and "Not much," was Jack Charlton's rather vague response when asked if he was glad to be managing the Republic rather than England. "Anyone who takes on that job must be bloody crackers," he added. Several of the Irish players will be particularly keen to impress Charlton as there are still doubts to be resolved. The first concerns the fitness of Liverpool's Ronnie Whelan, a key player who had the plaster removed from a broken foot this week, and Kevin Moran, who tweaked a hamstring in Blackburn Rovers' play-off defeat at Swindon. Then there are the two positions still to be finalised: Chris Morris or Chris Hughton at right-back; Kevin Swindon's test of style uuwuieu lasi nigni.

Already. league champions, Marseille lost 3-2 in the cup semi-finals to Racing Paris, who were rele- issi ween. At least unns waa-; die, whose free kick set up Mar- seme opening goal, can now rejoin the England squad immediately. Racing, who had trailed 0-1 and 1-2, meet Montpellier, 1- 0 winners over St Etienne, in the final in Paris on June 2. the effect on the players' attitude is hard to foresee.

The departure of the manager means a break in continuity not only for the FA, which had set up his contract in the hope of avoiding precisely this situation, but for those players who will be seeking England places in the team for the next European Championship, the qualifiers for which start this autumn. Don Howe, Robson's assistant, is going to be an even more crucial figure now because at the moment he represents the link between England managers old and new, just as he did in 1982 when Ron Greenwood stepped down. Howe and senior players such as Bryan Robson, Terry Butcher and Peter Shilton will now share more responsibility for keeping the squad buoyant, not so much in the matches but during the dog-days between games when spirits can droop, especially if England have had a bad result We have already had the almost obligatory night club or, in Paul Gascoigne's case, wine-bar incident on the eve of departure. As for Bobby Robson, he will probably apply himself to the task of taking England as far as possible in the World Cup with extra vigour. He remains an England man through and through and will not easily be distracted from the job in hand.

He also has a strong sense of -loyalty to the game. His loyalty to his family has been ques tioned, but he is a football manager not a prospective Tory candidate. Revie was roundly condemned for walking out on England but a more devoted family man you could not have met. Bobby Robson is not walking out on England. He has simply given them notice because there was no longer a future for him and at 57 he could not afford to hang around.

Football folk are acutely aware of which side their bread is buttered, and in Robson's case he will not want for an electric toaster over the next two years. phase Sheedy or Andy Townsend on the left of midfield. Mick McCarthy's recent vulnerability and Moran's uncertain fitness may force him to turn again to David O'Leary, who is back in form and favour after losing two years of his international career after a dispute with Charlton. The Republic's manager will be anxious to avoid further injuries as his squad of 22 is already short on defenders. Newcastle's John Anderson is the man on stand-by.

Charlton will hope that the prospect of two weeks of sun will soothe strains as well as pay disputes.

John Holmes is a shining light in the rather murky world of sporting stars' management, and he in no way resembles the cameo of the agent by Phillip McGough in the compulsively watchable TV series The Manageress.

He first met his most famous client in 1962 when he stood be have the shove; fancy footwork but no finishing. Sunderland have no such inhibitions, thanks to the goal-scoring talent of Marco Gabbiadini who has a season's total of 26. But they can leave themselves exposed at the back. Tranmere, the Leyland Daf Trophy winners who play Notts County tomorrow, are beginning to believe that Wembley, where they performed giant-killing feats in the Centenary Festival two seasons ago, is home from home. It has led Notts County to believe they are the underdogs.

Not so, say the Mersey-side bookies. County are now 15 games unbeaten, and their manager Neil Warnock has spent more than 1 million on players. They were last in the Second Division in 1984. Tranmere were there only once, and then for only one season, 52 years ago. The only trophy in Chesterfield's cupboard is the Anglo-Scottish Cup, which they won in 1981 but still hold because the competition is now defunct.

Their manager, Paul Hart, has warned his side against treating today's hind the goal at Filbert Street for a boys' match. "Leicester Boys had Shilton in goal so were expected to lick Chester-le-Street's lads. But they had the two Colins, Todd and Sug-gett, in their side, and won. Peter, typically, was absolutely livid with his performance. Still, Leicester Boys won the final next year, thanks to a string of saves by Shilts, I suppose." And he rattles off an unending list of subsequent ones "did you see that one against Dalglish at Wembley Fourth Division play-off against Cambridge United like a cup final.

"There is a danger that we think we have done our work and are going to Wembley just for the occasion. It is not like being the underdogs, where the main thing is to enjoy it We must not lose sight of the fact that we still have to earn promotion." Chesterfield were relegated from the Third Division last season and began this season in similar form, not winning until their sixth game, ironically against today's play-off opponents, Cambridge United. Cambridge's League form suffered from an FA Cup run that took them as far as the sixth round, where they lost to Crystal Palace. But a late spurt put them seventh in the Fourth Division. Liam Daish, their Republic of Ireland Under-21 defender, is suspended, but they are said to be "potent up front" with the former shipping clerk John Taylor, from Sudbury Town, and Dion Dublin, from Norwich, their danger men.

The play-off is allegedly Cambridge's second visit to Wembley. "We don't want a repeat of the first," said a supporter. "That's when they went to the dogs." He meant, presumably, the greyhounds. Drish in pay-back OVER the Nil Desperan-dum bridge and through Sunderland city centre, the road snakes out to Seaburn and Roker beach. On a fine bank holiday it is a child's painting of golden sand, distant figures and flat, blue sea dotted with white sails.

On this bank holiday it could be as empty as the Gobi, as 40,000 Roker-ites head for Wembley to play Swindon in Monday's play-off final for promotion to the First Division. Sunderland got this far after two ugly tussles both on and off the field with their local rivals Newcastle which left the FA pondering reports and punishment. There has been much speculation whether League retribution for irregularities in club finances, if proven, might affect Swindon's promotion. The jury is still out. Sunderland will proffer no leniency, but will find Swindon a formidable proposition on a surface that will suit a footballing side bearing the classic hallmarks of their manager, Ossie Ardiles.

The problem is that when it comes to push in front of goal, Swindon do not always Ian Rldtoy In Izmir THE Republic of Ireland should finally begin to feel like a World Cup team this weekend. They will encounter the heat and heated atmosphere of football in the sun when they play Turkey here tomorrow, then go to their training camp in Malta having resolved "amicably" a pay dispute over backdated match bonuses. The harmony when they ar rived, in a temperaure of 32C yesterday, was in sharp con trast to the shennanigans surrounding England, whom they meet in the opening game in Group in Cagliari on June 11.
