AUGUST 1 2021: Belmont Banter Episode 73 Carl Laraman…the Official podcast of Whitstable Town F.C.Delighted that this week we have former Charlton and Arsenal Coach Carl Laraman with us on Belmont Banter as he takes us on his football journey which started in Australia. At the age of eight Carl’s parents relocated to the UK setting up home in Luton not far from Chatham where vat school he played football for the first time as at that time sport in Australia was all about Aussie Rules Football and Cricket. In the UK he was very soon played for the district side and was spotted by Crystal Palace which was where his development really started. The chance to hit the big time passed him by not least when at a very young age he had the chance to go and play abroad, but turned it down. As far as local football was concerned he flourished at Sittingbourne, then at Sheppey, which he rates as his best time in football, also having a brief spell at Whitstable Town. There were a number of other Kent Clubs he had spells at until at twenty-six and injury cut short his football career, which is when he had the chance to take up coaching. After taking his badges it finally took him to working for ten years at Charlton then for fifteen Years at Arsenal under Liam Brady and Arsen Wenger. What a listen…
Another interesting chat to add to the long list of ex-players and managers from around Kent.
