Charlie and Grant just need time to think.”Charlie Snr ran the popular Star and Garter pub in Dundee until it closed down recently.Last night tributes were paid to him on Twitter. Brechin City said: “Sad news that Charlie Adam Snr has passed away.“Charlie made over 90 appearances and scored over 35 goals for Brechin during 1986-1989.”Midfield ace Charlie Jnr doted on his dad and has told how he would not have been a success without him.He said recently: “My dad is the biggest influence in my career — massive.
