Yeah, that's Tadanari's translator mate, by all accounts he's now a mingled in member of the squad! he goes everywhere.

 

All the injured players all went on the trip as well, maybe not to play or train hard, but it's important to mingle with all the other lads rather than being left behind.

Well Lee wasn't on the pitch Saturday but that guy was fully involved in helping run the pre game warm ups. So I'd suggest he probably had some coaching experience before and has got himself a tidy little job on top of translating.

seriously, isnt about time he spoke English by now? I mean the whole world speaks it FFS

 

oh no they don't - you'd be surprised at the amount of foreigners who struggle with Tourist English -

T. Lee can probably manage some basic daily chat, but every new expression he hears will need translating for a while at least.

 

Football terminology may be simple for you , but how do you think it sounds in Japanese?

 

I recall hearing about some of the Swedish players who had trouble understanding Gordon Strachan in the beginning....the funny thing was that some of the English players had the same problem.

Out of interest what is the Japanese translation of "FFS Deano pass it to my feet not over my f*cking head"?

The only Japanese connection with initials TT was something like 'Tiger Tanaka' or similar. This however was James Bond's contact in You Only Live Twice.

 

But with the power of Google :

 

Tadanari's translator never played the game at any competitive level but has got all his badges and had a coaching job with one of Huddersfield's youth teams before joining us.

 

it brings up a geezer by the name of Tsuyoshi Takano. Is it he perhaps ?

Gotta be surely? He was a first team coach at Sanfreece Hiroshima - Chuns old club.

 

Edit: Yep it is. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=tsuyoshi+takano&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&sa=N&rls=en&biw=1064&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=oiJlhv52WShh-M:&imgrefurl=http://www.whiterosesoccer.co.uk/MeetTheStaff.aspx&docid=1ubff9K_kPpK3M&imgurl=http://www.whiterosesoccer.co.uk/Staff/tsuyosi%252520takano.JPG&w=3264&h=2448&ei=Ly8HUOzZJoSU0QXZ_IXDDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=123&vpy=145&dur=249&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=154&ty=90&sig=104232692877723843737&page=1&tbnh=132&tbnw=184&start=0&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:73

Wakefield, and Huddersfield connections worry me. I don't think he's a jap at all, his real name is probably Arkwright, he who pigeons and drinks at The Three Ferrets nr Tadcaster. He's really here as a translator for Billy Sharp.
