cheers dm, i think he scored in the 2-4 loss against shrews then .....
he was so so bad at the beginning and then became a decent player b4 running off to 'big bucks' at leeds but we still beat them in the play offs
For scoring winners against Spuds, Chelsea & Liverpool.
And that last match of the season when he played at Chelsea, having been out for ages with illness - what turned out to be a nose tumour - and playing alone up front, run himself into the ground for Charlton.
my step dad hated keith jones, was always moaning about how he didnt pass forward. but i always thought he did his job very well, never gave the ball away. always broke play down. good touch. very under rated
meet keith jones a few times seemed a very nice bloke, also seem to remember reading somewhere that when we was trying to sign him from Southend he said i want thismove so just pay me what you think im worth and i will sign.
Funny isn't it - I think that Keith Jones is one of my least favourite CAFC players ever. Nothing personal just didn't think he was very good. He did have that one great game against Liverpool at home but could give Ray Wilkins a lesson in passing sideways. I always found myself frustrated by him and in my opinion Kinsella possibly made him look better than he was in that play-off year.

Terrific middle name though - Keith Aubrey Jones
Agreed. If Keith Jones and Kish are the heartbeat of Charlton we're in more trouble than we think!
Keith Jones was a legend in my book he was what every club needed and he done his job fantastically well, he never moaned when dropped he never bragged when picked, I bought a couple of spurs pals to a game and they both backed him to score first i took the pee a bit then joined them winning a princly sum when he did score 1st goal at 33-1 backed him every week from then on
this thread is all about the keith Joneses of Charlton and i would give my right bollock to have a keith Jones playing now

A midfielder at 33-1 to score the first goal? Says it all...
it is funny how fans can have such a different view on one player. on the train on thrusday 2 men were talking about how downing was man of the match when he came on for england.clearly they didnt watch the game ha. but seriously, alot of players should take a leaf out of jones' book, he did the simple things correctly which for made him a very good player.

more of a nusience who didnt need or want the glory, was a cracking goal as well midweek i think about 18 -20 yrds out,
great player for us[/quote]
I am quite happy to agree to disagree as he is one of those that split opinions but in relative terms we have had a few "great" players in recent years - Rufus, Kinsella and Mendonca for example. Keith Aubrey Jones does not come into this category.
And I would have left Southend for next to no money as well - I should know I live there!
Apparently, when Makalele saw Keith Jones ply his trade for Charlton for the first time he got a plaque made to put in his bathroom in France that said:

From an earlier generation I like Richie Bowman too.
were the fingers in a 2-4 reverse at home to the mighty shrewsbury

No, it was against Oldham. We won 2-1 and he did it after he scored the first goal.

George Shipley - a good player in our promotion season, and to be fair out of is depth when we went up but never stopped running or competing.
Colin Walsh - scored some great goals and a cracking midfielder.
Ive always loved mark reid... i used to try his little inside fake at school all the time.... to the distress of my coach

Heard on a whisper Makalele based his whole footballing ethos on Keith Jones
remember folks you heard it here first
"KJ is my hero"
tattoo on his left calf.
