I think part of the reason we enjoy Charlie Austin goals more is the celebrations.
Nothing cocky, nothing arrogant, nothing planned - just a young lad running around like a loon jumping up and down and punching the air!
It's only a matter of time before this spontaneity is coached out of him. |

Anyone know if he used to score any from distance for Poole Town? I think he's had one shot from outside the area, the aim was ok but by 6 year old nephew could have hit it harder. Again, maybe he just needs building up a bit.
The odd few outside the 18 yd box, but most of his stuff is done inside the area, but then that is exactly what Swindon needed He's just a natural finisher basically |

If anyone is interested there is an interview with Charlie's father on this link from a couple of days ago. Interesting read in that Reading didn't take him on as a 15 year old, that he'd been on trial at Swindon when Iffy was there but got an injury & that he'd been scouted by Swindon previously when Sturrock & Malpas were the managers. Seems like we finally got our man. The link http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/hungerfordtownfc/?section=clubnews&news_id=87616 |

this is an awsome interview.
"What happened is Maurice Malpas (Swindon Manager at the time) had been keen on both Jamie Gosling and Charlie Austin whilst they were playing at Hungerford. Andrew Fitton had left Hungerford and taken over at Swindon Town and had appointed Maurice Malpas as Manager, However in November 2008 Andrew Fitton had sacked Malpas after a poor run of results and a shock exit in the FA Cup to Histon and the interest ended in both Jamie and Charlie."

 "Swindon put a down payment of £5k in and I think they will pay a further £10k at Christmas, but this could rise to £50k depending on certain clauses."

this is a nice touch
What’s your proudest moment?
"It would have to be his appearance at Norwich, Charlie made his debut away to Exeter but only had 2 minutes, but at Norwich in front of 25000 fans he came on with 20 minutes to go. Whilst he was warming up the Robins fans started singing his name, it brought a tear to his Grandfathers eye."

Why bother with coaching? A half hour pint and a chat with Reg will knock any form of hope or joy out of him [url width=250 height=254]http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b201/CDMbeachman/eeyore_rain.jpg[/url] |
