Bett Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Good piece here on John Toshack, now managing in the football outpost of Azerbaijan. Nice wee mention of the Hobos too: The following summer, Adams again bought British with the then Hibernian stopper Graeme Smith who fled the goalkeeping graveyard of Easter Road to join Gabala. The Scot, now at Brechin City, was stunned by the football infrastructure of the country. ?Their budget was 10 to 15 times that of SPL clubs? exclaimed Smith to the Scottish Daily Record. Despite Qabala being Azerbaijan?s most ancient city and a popular domestic tourist destination, Smith wasn?t overly enamored by his surroundings, boldly observing ?it?s not like Edinburgh?. http://futbolgrad.com/khazar-lankaran-john-toshack-weathering-storm-azerbaijan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
