The thing is, playing with us, whoever was the left winger had to come to play every night because that's the way it was. Charlie came in and he just fit that role - big and strong around the net.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't know what the hell Charlie Parker was playing... I just liked the way he played.
Until Charlie broke his ankle in Toronto, we were as good a unit as anybody.
He's one of those managers you'd give your left leg to play for.
As England manager I always felt we needed an extra man in midfield to retain the ball, but that was more as an attacking ploy to help create opportunities. It came from my experience playing international football in a 4-4-2 and spending half my time chasing the ball.
I've said for years I could never figure out why Calgary ever drafted me. When I got there, I think they had eight or nine right wingers already. These guys were premiere players. It's not like they were extremely late in their careers, either.
I always felt before Paul Brown, coaches just rolled the ball out onto the field.
I have always been a left-winger and an outsider. I loved being that. I was perfectly cheerful with that role. Then suddenly, you're one of the talking heads on 'Nightline,' and you think you must have sold out.
I was asking Charlie the most important questions, and you heard the answers.
The way those clubs shift against Ted Williams, I can't understand how he can be so stupid not to accept the challenge to him and hit to left field.
It's happened so quickly, starting at Tottenham, playing for England.
