Inter Milan reverse tour decision

BRITISH Sports minister Richard Caborn declared yesterday “the games must go on” after persuading Inter Milan not to cancel their pre-season tour of England over security fears.

The Italian giants had been branded as “cowards” for pulling out of their four-game tour and depriving Leicester, Norwich, Crystal Palace and Portsmouth of a money-spinning fixture.

The four clubs asked Caborn to help mediate the situation and his message to Italian sports minister Mario Pescante was unequivocal - “we make no concessions to terrorists.”
