Warm article on Young
The Sunday Times has a major feature today on Charlton captain and England international Luke Young. You can read the full article at: Young
Luke reveals how the level of ambition has changed at The Valley. 'When I first came to Charlton we'd sit down at the start of each season in a meeting and the talk would be all about survival, getting to 40 points as quickly as we can, then we'd have another look. For the last two seasons we've been looking at getting into the Uefa Cup, that's been the ambition.'
Luke talks about how he had to turn his life round after he went to a bar after a defeat by Leeds, was caught driving at more than three times over the limit and banned for two-and-a-half years. Meeting Jessica and having a baby daughter have calmed the Surrey resident down.
Luke sees a lot of similarities between the management styles of Curbs and Sven. 'Curbs likes his starting XI to know what they're going to do, every player. But he can be forceful, too, when he wants to be. I remember playing against Blackpool in the FA Cup in my first season here and I ran up with my hand in the air to play offside ... well I haven't done that again.'
The article is a fitting tribute to a player who has turned out to be one of Curbs's most astute signings.
