The Japanese Guy

who has been sitting in the dugout for the past few games...... who is he?

Tadanari Lee. He's been with us for a while, but seems to spend a lot of the time being injured, so it's understandable if you've never seen him before.

He came in as translator for Tadanari last January, but has actually become a fully fledged member of the coaching staff since.

[eesti matty]

ha ha! Definitely not him, unless he has aged quite dramatically over the summer!

The sushi chef for our two Japanese signings.

When Wilkins, Crosby and the guy in question have a kick-about whilst the players warm up it is clear to see he has far more footballing ability than you would expect from your average translator.

Yep, i've noticed him a few times! Also pops up in some of the pre-match vids.

 

Must have a coaching background as well.

[Cheese on Toast]

I wonder if he can play left back

[OVER THE HILL]

I read somewhere that he was a football coach in Canada .

Interested to know how he got the gig with us.

 

Was he chosen by Saints as Chungs translator 'cause he can also coach, or was he Chungs translator/mate and we happen to have kept him on?

Could be the best striker at the club, since Connolly*, if he did not spend so much time in the treatment room.

 

*apart from Lambert, but then the old joke might be lost.

He is in the team photo...
