August 1959 - Why shouldn't we start our own Pro Soccer?

August 1959 - Why shouldn't we start our own Pro Soccer? - It was a dusty afternoon of soccer trials at Johannesburg's Bantu Football Ground. There were a scattered few hundreds spectators. If this had been top class pro-soccer, thousands would have rolled up to witness all the games. Soccer is our National Game, but what a mess it has got into. Standards are falling away, administration need a boost. Why don't we try a drastic medicine, why don't we try playing professional soccer league? (Photograph by Ian Berry @ BAHA)
