Congratulations To England On Fair Play Award

EDM number 1250 in 1989-90, proposed by Simon Hughes on 09/07/1990.

That this House congratulates Bobby Robson and all members of the England World Cup Squad on winning the Fair Play award in Italy; believes that their sportsmanship was a credit to the game and has helped to restore England's tarnished image abroad; commends the example set by the England players to all those who aspire to wear the white shirt; and calls on the hooligan element who use football as a cover for their violence to reflect the attitude of the England players in their own behaviour so that England can gain further international success and her club sides once again compete in Europe.

This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
