New Woking manager Kim Grant has admitted that Cards fans are 50-50 about his appointment at the moment, but hopes to turn things round through results on the pitch. He told the Non-League Paper, 'My players have got to understand the word "professional"'.
The folically challenged 35-year old made 123 appearances for the Addicks, but I think his goal scoring ratio was about 1 in 5. One of my memories is of Les Reed coming out on the pitch before a game and pointing out the whereabouts of the goal to him.
After Charlton, Grant had spells with Luton, the Spanners and Notts County before disappearing off the map in 1999. However, he hadn't done a David White, but played with a bizarre series of foreign clubs: Lommelse SK of Belgium; Marco of Portugal (that's a club, not a waiter); Immortal DC and Sarawak of Malaysia; Shoman Bellamare in the J-League; and finally Sengkang Punggol and Geylang United of Singapore.
He was sacked in Singapore for swearing - not at anyone else but himself. However, in Singapore it was considered a severe breach of discipline. Grant then fetched up in the Czech Republic, as you do if you are from Ghana, before being snapped up by Woking.
