Was talking to a friend who said he was reading a book called the "The Greatest Footballer you Never saw". Thought I'd look him up.Any one remember him playing for C.Diff.? Sounds like a bit of a character.
"(Friday)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.[102]
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.[11] 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" A man of excellent judgement,

On the cover of the 'The Man Don't Give a F*ck' Super Fury Animals single, it's a great photo. Never seen him play though.

Pants band. Friday was what Trundle became, a football clubs maestro, fans loved him, in Fridays case he chucked it out with the empty beer bottles. In Trundles case he made history. What would you rather be a photo on a shi t bands product or Lee Trundle, revered and in a job where he achieves and has life long longevity.
Friday was a drunkard and a wife beater. The fact he kicked a football for Reading. Etc doesn't excuse it. Good read though, just a sad sad man. |  |

I was living in Reading when he was playing for them, one of the most gifted natural players I have ever seen. Scored the best goal I have ever seen, it was against Tranmere ball played in the air to him edge of the box, control on his chest, turned in mid air and hit it into the net, not only the fans applauded that one, but also Tranmere players and the ref Clive Thomas. Friday's celebration? Ran behind the goal and kissed the PC standing there. If ever the term flawed genius was penned about a player it was RF. |  |

Timely post. Talking to friend tonight who used to play for Reading and knew him. Confirmed he was a brilliant player but flawed character. Died aged about 40. Be interested to read the book. | | | |
