GRAPEVINE, Page 17A TRADE IMBALANCE IN SOCCER STARS
By JANICE CASTRO/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
English soccer fans are devastated. Their top scoring
ace, GARY LINEKER, is moving to the Grampus Eight club of
Nagoya, Japan, in a deal worth nearly $9 million. Japan, where
professional soccer will get under way in 1993, wants to become
a global force in the sport. Such companies as Matsushita, Mazda
and Toyota, which have invested in soccer teams, are luring
world-class players to kick-start the action.
