[Dave the OAP]

With this bloke possibly coming on board ( assuming we have any money at all, which of course we haven't) gave me pause to consider........have we ever had an African play for us?

''1998-99: Arrived to Charlton on trial at the back end of the 1997-98 season and once his international clearance had come through made a series of appearances in the Addicks championship-winning Avon Insurance Combination side. He impressed Alan Curbishley enough to earn a two-year contract at The Valley, costing $32,700. Unfortunately for all concerned, he was never able to step on the field for them, because of work permit problems (he did feature for them in 6 practice matches). Charlton attempted to resolve this problem by stashing him at lower division Brighton, whom they loaned him to. But the very same work permit issues followed him there. Ifejiagwa did manage to appear in one game for Brighton, however; and what a debut it was! Off of a corner kick he rose high to head home the lone goal of the match. A first rate start in anybody's book. ''

With grateful thanks to the Rothmans Football Yearbook, he actually played twice for us. As well as the 1-0 win against Barnet, he also played in the following game against Hartlepool, which we won 3-2

 

[Zebedee]

If we sign any of the three players that we currently have on trial, particularly, Molango, I'll be very surprised. I just hope I'm wrong.
