I didn't realize that JFH was born in Paramaribo, Suriname.
I did know that he had 7 golden years. Leeds 69 apps 34 goals Atletico Madrid 34 apps 24 goals Chelsea 136 apps 69 goals Netherlands 23 apps 9 goals You would need to have your Charlton blinkers on, not to recognise that JFH was a top striker in those 7 years between 97-2004.
Jerrel "Jimmy" was 32 when he left Chelsea and after a spell at Middlesbrough he arrived at CAFC when he was 34 and his career was coming to the end as he had lost his sharpness and looked sluggish by the 06/07 season. CAFC 25 apps 2 goals. before going to Cardiff for one last pay day in the 07/08 season. Cardiff 36 apps 7 goals.
Just like John Barnes, JFH came to Charlton, in the Autumn(more like winter!) of their careers carrying extra timber.
I don’t mind players coming to us at the end of their career. I do mind the pure f*cking laziness when they’re here for a payday. Let’s hope he moves quicker on the dancefloor than he did at The Valley.
