pounds 50 STAR LETTER

AFTER another season when most headlines reflected mistakes by referees in the Premier League it comes as no surprise that England's only involvement in Euro 2008 was a decision by ref Howard Webb (right) which infuriated Poland coach Leo Beenhakker and his players. As shirtpulling seemed to be the tactic of all the defenders on show, European players obviously do not consider it a punishable offence.
