I’m fairly certain Charlery left at the same time as Paul Wilson (both to Boston) before Tony Cottee arrived. TC took the 9 shirt, which would have been occupied Ken Charlerly, so I’m sure that’s the case.underhillbovrilstink wrote:Really good last 3 episodes and getting TC on is a big coup for DSH ! Great work.
Much respect to Tony for being a guest .....Would love to have asked him why he marginalised and ultimately sold our other established strikers McGleish/Charlery, when he was 35 at the time and never going to play every match? We were left with a young Wayne Purser and Tony “watch the windows” Richards for that ill fated run in.
Say what you want about Stilly, with the Bees he reached the league two playoffs twice within 3 years, took Dag & Red to League one and won the conference with Luton, would be good to hear his side of the story.
Great recommendation on the 90s football podcast too (Quicky Kevin).
Gary Breen for season 3 ?
Tony Cottee did however send Omar Rita back to West Ham, I seem to remember there was an option to hold onto him for a bit longer, but we didn’t take it up. A shame as my recollection was that Riza performed well for us and offered something a bit different compared to our other strikers at the time.
