The talk down at Charlton Athletic’s Sparrows Lane training ground had turned to Leeds United, the club he had joined in his teens and where his career so flourished, ahead of a reunion this Saturday.
“The memories I share with them are something very special,†he said, thoughts drifting back to European runs and those heady days spent in a young, vibrant side near the Premier League’s summit. “I gave everything for that club over seven seasons after joining from Charlton so, at the end of the game, I’ll acknowledge their fans and show them the respect they showed me for so many years. They retain a big place in my heart. And they’re the best team in the league, and should have gone up last season.â€

Were the players more sympathetic with Bowyer or the club? “It was difficult for us,†Bakke says. “It was a hard time with so much going on and you have to say that the club did a lot to support him. Maybe it was wrong to fine him or maybe Lee thought it was wrong. But there was so much happening that most of us just tried to concentrate on the games. The rest was completely out of our control.â€
