Save Christmas: Graham Taylor speaks out against winter World Cup move
GRAHAM TAYLOR has urged FIFA not to cancel Christmas by moving the World Cup to winter.
The 54 member associations of UEFA have agreed to move the 2022 tournament to winter in order to avoid searing summer heat in Qatar.
But former England boss Taylor fears the switch would have a knock-on effect for traditional festive fixtures. He said: Christmas matches are part and parcel of English football.”
