Here's a name ... Chic Charnley. The guy who joined us from, I think, St Mirren .... played about 3 times & was found to be hooked on the wacky-baccy and was promptly returned to the land of snow & men in skirts.

He wracked up red cards like most people would lottery tickets.

By the way, his real name was James Callaghan Charnley !!

This little snippet (admittedly from Wiki) says it all really ...
Chic had a voracious appetite for trouble. During a training session in Glasgow's Ruchill Park, he was attacked by two locals brandishing samurai swords. Charnley responded by leading his teammates in an attack on the two men
Another tale suggests
he arived at traning with a gym bag that contained only cans of beer and a hammer.
Interesting guy !!
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
"I understand you are a very good footballer" ... "I try".
