Saw an article in a 1979 Edinburgh programme the other day. It suggested that Charlie Monk was amongst those the Tigers were interested in recruiting to strengthen the side.
It wasn't something I'd heard previously, does anyone recall if there was any element of truth in this?
Would certainly have been strange to have had Super Steve and Maximum Monk in the same team!
Seems like Charlie's last season was with Barrow in 1978, but I don't know if he chose to retire or just didn't get any offers for '79.

Never heard that one before. We did get Andy Reid from Barrow that winter, although I believe that move had been on the cards for a time. Charlie was in the wind down stage of his career but was managing an eight point average with Barrow in 1978, although it has to be said it was a pretty week Barrow side. Think he got eleven from four in has last Blantyre appearance.
