Was the same sort of reception most returning players get, nothing extra special I'm afraid (most Football for a Fiver people probably thought WHO??) Lets hope he can learn something whilst working with Charlton over the last few days as I understand he's working on his Coaching Badges in Scotland.
Most football for a fiver people are more likley to know who he is that say Matt Taylor? Premier plastics?
There was a chant of "ONLY ONE JJ!" like the good ol' Premier League days from the north stand where i was, I remember that over head kick last min against West Ham in the 4-4 draw, classic moment, Glad he got an alright reaction as it's been said, most Fiver people wouldn't have known who he was but a few did, was defo one of my fave players from the premier league days.
He was a nice guy and a decent player but a long way short of being a Charlton legend. He cost £3.25 million and only scored in 20% of his games for us, not a stellar record for an out-and-out striker. He had the same strike rate for Finland which was more impressive as they started as underdogs in most of their games. I remember him being a bit chicken on the pitch like his Nordic contemporary Claus Jensen, but the latter was a better player. Good he still thinks well of us and by all means give the crowd a wave, but to make too much of his visit would be disproportionate.
Agree with Eddie. Nice reception I thought for someone who most of us could be forgiven for having forgotten!
I think it is a Scandinavian thing, Franco. The Norwegians are known to carry butternuts up their bottoms, while the Danes favour artichokes. Very strange.
