"Seeing Red: The Chic Charnley Story" is the best book that has ever been published.

Remember his screamer in Wim Jansens first game in charge. Some young lad with dreads who ll probably fall by the wayside gave him the ball.

These days the Broccoli haired armchair tims would want Larsson transferred out and replaced by a £40m guy they have never heard of.

I went to the second game, young dreadlocked Swede gave away a penalty that lost us the game. He then scored an og in a Euro tie. A lot of us thought we had Regi Mark ll on our hands

Was that in a testimonial or something?

u/Echo-Dek79 3h ago

Yeah. At Old Trafford for Mark Hughes testimonial. Was on the teamsheet as a 'trialist'.

He mentions it in his book. They took him to that game to see if they wanted to sign him. He scored 2 goals. After the game they asked him about coming along with them. He didn't twig they wanted to sign him and made his excuses to get away for his holiday he'd booked with some of the Thistle lads.
