Craig Bellamy’s autobiography extract about Charlie Adam
“1 met Charlie a couple of times before pre-season training began, and he seemed a nice lad.”
“He wasn't the brightest but then footballers rarely are. I consider myself to be among the cleverer footballers around
Charlie is a true Scot, and he loves his beer. It's all he ever talked about at the start, having had a brutal close season with a series of lads holidays abroad.”
“Charlie wasn't a shy lad and told the squad all about his escapades, including vomiting into the swimming pool at 2pm one afternoon.”
“He was a fat b*stard too. Charlio, and he could eat for Scotland.
some of the lads called him Rab alter the V comedy character Rab 6 Nesbitt.
The first day at training and Charlie had a mare. He couldn't control the ball to save his life, couldn't get his breath and kept falling over while trying to run with the ball.
Players are always judging others, never more so than on the first day - first impressions count and though some of the lads found it hliarious, most were not impressed.
"Who's this c**t?", one respected player said to me.”
"I can't believe we've signed this useless c**t, said another.
while one or ine cluos iconic players said to me. a payed against him last season and knew last season he was shite you're gonna need to step it up this season. Craig - cos this c**t's wank."
“Charlie didn't have the best of seasons and he was sold on to Stoke. I wish him well.

I've got my copy of Bellers' book, signed by him.
A great read and anyone who hasn't read it yet should buy it.
This quote is brilliant
When we lost to Liverpool in the EFL Cup final in 2012, Charlie Adam came across as arrogant and criticising City in his interview after the game. Wasn't a good look.
All the other Liverpool players interviewed - including the likes of Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher - rightly gave us a lot of credit.
