Anyone who has watched either for Crawley Town’s pre-season friendlies so far will have spotted a new face alongside Scott Lindsey in the dugout.

Lindsey has had his right hand man and assistant Jamie Day with him, but eagle-eyed fans will have spotted another person giving instructions to the players.

The man is Carl Laraman. The former Crystal Palace player served his apprenticeship under the guidance of the legendary youth coach, John Cartwright. The 61-year-old helped bring though the likes of Scott Parker, Paul Konchesky, Jonjo Shelvey and Lee Bowyer when we was youth coach at Charlton Athletic when Alan Curbishley was in charge.
