ibizasaint Posted 19 February, 2011 Share Posted 19 February, 2011 Dead right Ibizasaint. It wasn't announced until the night of the game and he played an absolute blinder (I was aged 13 and watching from the Archers), supporters assumed that he was Chinese at the time, but he was in fact a Dutchman and a star at Ajax. Surplus to requirements after Cruyff returned hence the trial at Saints. To this day I don't know what else he could have done to get a contract (shades of MLT in that infamous England B match). Great night at the Dell though, pure entertainment!... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tschen_La_Ling I was about 8 and cut the match report out of the echo to stick in my scrapbook. There was a photo of him scoring a header where he had jumped about as high as the crossbar and he was headering down into the goal. Not bad for a bloke who looked about 5 ft tall. Wonder why he was never signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
