Lawro's kit-bag

[AK74]

Can Lawro's miserable persona be traced back to the time when Robin Friday crimped off a length into his kit bag in the Goldstone changing rooms?

The Londoner returned to the team for the away match at Brighton & Hove Albion on 29 October 1977, with Cardiff once again in the relegation zone, in 20th place on goal difference.

Friday was marked during the game by Mark Lawrenson, who so frustrated the Cardiff forward with his close attention that Friday waited for Lawrenson to attempt a slide tackle and then kicked him in the face. After receiving a red card, Friday left the ground with the game still going on; according to legend, before leaving he broke into the Brighton dressing room and defecated in Lawrenson's kit bag.

Let's face it, smiling was never his favourite hobby. Legend still though. Chris H knew.

I love the book about Robin Friday

Probably my favorite ever player, but never have I been more disappointed with someone's persona when he started on TV.. as a player he always seemed so cool, so assured, quiet and effective. Always had more time than most on the ball it seemed.. now he just appears bitter, grumpy and hard to listen to..

I didn't know what "crimped off a length" meant. Then read the rest and burst out laughing. I love how accidentally deadpan Wikipedia can be when retelling stories like this.

Like I said, LEGEND.
