James Callaghan Charnley, more commonly known as Chic Charnley, (born 11 June 1963 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish football player and coach. Charnley's playing career lasted nearly 20 years, with spells at Hamilton Academical, St Mirren, Hibernian and Dundee, however he is perhaps best known for his numerous spells at Partick Thistle. He also was a coach at Thistle for a short time and was briefly assistant manager of Clyde. Throughout his career, Charnley had a reputation as being a hot-head, he was sent off 17 times in a senior career which lasted for nearly 20 years. In 2009, Charnley published his autobiography: "Seeing Red: The Chic Charnley Story." ==Club career== Charnley played for a number of clubs: Ayr United, Clydebank, Hamilton Accies, Partick Thistle St. Mirren, Bolton (on loan), Djurgårdens IF, Dumbarton, Dundee, Hibs and Cork City F.C.. He also played for ''non-league'' clubs Pollok, Tarff Rovers and Kirkintilloch Rob Roy. Charnley was raised in the North of Glasgow and, evidently gifted as a footballer, was tipped for greatness. However, the early part of his career was chequered by poor discipline which gave him the reputation as a hot head.〔 This scared many clubs away from his talent. He was brought up a supporter of Celtic. In 1994, he had a trial for Celtic playing one game for them in a friendly against Manchester Utd at Old Trafford. Many rated him as the best player in the game and it was rumoured that he had done enough to win a contract. However, Celtic's manager Lou Macari was sacked not long after this friendly game and rumours of a move to Celtic came to nothing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chic Charnley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
