Friendship put aside at The Valley

ICELAND defender Hermann Hreidarsson is hoping to put the freeze on his good friend Matt Jansen when Blackburn travel to The Valley tonight.

The pair have remained close since playing together at Crystal Palace some six years ago, and the big Charlton centre-half was best man at Jansen’s wedding during the summer.

It has, though, been a difficult time for the Blackburn forward over the past two seasons, but following the return of former Rovers striker Mark Hughes to Ewood Park as manager, Jansen has taken the chance to rejuvenate his career in Lancashire, coming off the bench to net the only goal in the win over Portsmouthlast weekend.
