Charlton caretaker boss Lee Bowyer is looking forward to seeing his former Leeds United teammate Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink when the two go head-to-head on Good Friday.
The two played together at Leeds for two seasons between 1997 and 1999 and Bowyer has said while he will look to give his former teammate a hug but that they won’t be friends once the game kicks off between the Addicks and Hasselbaink's Northampton Town.
Bowyer was speaking at this morning’s press conference which will be available to watch in full on Valley Pass shortly. You can read five additional topics covered here.
Bowyer said: “It will be strange because we played together and are good friends, so it’s like a different battle.
“It will be good, I look forward to seeing Jimmy, he’s a nice man, we had some good times together.
“I’ll try and say hello and give him a hug but whether he is busy or not I don’t know. It will be nice to see him but as you know once the game starts then we won’t be friends.”
The pair played together as Leeds finished 5th (1997-98) and then 4th (1998-99) in the Premier League with Hasselbaink scoring 16 and then 18 league goals while Bowyer chipped in with three and then nine.
