Reckon he'll be a future Colchester Manager one day... Good luck to the Legend!!0

Wonder how many they will bring tomorrow last time we played them at the valley there support was embarrassing.0

Maybe the memories of some might fade, but Mark Kinsella was a top top player for us, true legend of the first order. If I end up in the West Stand I shall certainly clap him to his seat.21

There will be two of the most inpirational captains we have ever had at The Valley tomorrow. Mark Kinsella as visiting asisstant manager and Johnnie Jackson our current capain.4

Over the last five years or so, some fans have "wanted their Charlton back" well if they go tomorrow and dont applaud Kinsella (If the opportunity arose) then I gotta question their above statement
Mark Kinsella and the team he Captained will forever be a statement of what it means to be Charlton and will forever deserve to be recognised for that23 -
Ooh mark Kinsella mark Kinsella mark Kinsella
Ooh mark Kinsella mark Kinsella mark Kinsella
Ooh mark Kinsella mark Kinsella mark Kinsella
OOOOOh Mark Kinsella..........................
Used to love that chant. :-)1 -

In the wall, in the wall, in the wall mark kinsella0

Don't rely on the club to announce his entrance. Lennie has been back on numerous occasions in the past few years and no announcement has been made to acknowledge the mans great achievements for our club. Perhaps we don't recognise opposition assistant managers2

Would be very surprised if the club announce him (As they ignored Curbs when he came back to Charlton with West Ham)... Sometimes its about doing something for someone without Dave Lockwood having to announce it.
Probably mean more to Kinsella if that happened as means people will remember what he did without having to be reminded0 -

Almost a legend Kins - top man.0

He'd be easier to identify in January, when it's minus 6, as he'll be the person on the bench still in shorts :-)4

I still remember where I was when I found out we'd sold Kinsella. And for a measley million. And think of the tosh we've watched since then.
Is it me or was Curbs responsible for that classic Charlton muck up?0 -
Depends how you measure legend - true legends for me were the likes of Bartram,Jimmy Seed,Hewie,Killer,SuperClive - people who changed the club - Kins wasnt quite at that level, although granted he wasnt far behind.One of my favourite players - never gave the ball away cheaply.cs1986 said:

Serious man love for that fella... Charlton legend!0 -
Was instead Captain of a team that won the Play-Off final... worked tirelessly to keep us in the Premier League only to sadly fail, he was also one of the main players tipped to leave Charlton after relegated yet stayed and Captained the team straight back up and there we stayed under his leadership7

Not really fair in this case. He had suffered a bad knee injury, and sadly when he returned he had lost pace and his whole game suffered. I felt gutted for him. The Irish had been starting to compare him favourably to Roy Keane. Mark Kinsella didn't quite get the rewards from football that his talent and professionalism deserved.ken_shabby said:I still remember where I was when I found out we'd sold Kinsella.

not the way i recall it , Kinsella wasn't getting much of a look in due to some fella called Scott Parker emerging and Kins was suffering from the odd niggle, so as with most things that people try to lay on Curbs door you're wrong and Alan Curbishley is quite simply a Charlton managerial god that never got or gets the full worship he deservesken_shabby said:I still remember where I was when I found out we'd sold Kinsella.

Was more than the odd niggle, Oohaah. Serious problem that couldn't be rectified, specialists involved without any good resolution. But as you say, not Curbs fault at all.oohaahmortimer said:

I bumped into Roger Alwen a few months after we'd sold Kinsella, I was absolutely gutted. He told me as Prague said that he had serious irreversible knee issues so that was it.
The President I'm afraid your memory has seriously let you down... To suggest Kinsella is not worthy of the term legend is borderline offensive. That man was pure class for us, twice promotion winning captain and led one of our best ever sides, player of the year twice in a row, proper raw passion and desire, he understood Charlton, dragged us through matches single handedly on numerous occasions, and would've bled for us. I would lay down a pretty hefty sum that curbs would name him his best ever signing. I hope most haven't forgotten what a huge contribution he made to our most and only successful spell in well over half a century.

we almost didn't sign him after a quibble about 50k
cafc history could have been very different if we'd missed out!3 -

Only players name and number I've ever had on a Charlton shirt and I proudly wore it at Lansdowne Road one chilly night when he played for the ROI and was awarded player of the year or something similar for them.
I'm the only fecker cheering and shouting Kin-Kin-Kin-Sella whilst the eejits around me in the stand are mumbling about some feller called Keane. Legend.1 -
Precisely, which is why I thought I'd start the thread, pointing out he'd be at The Valley tomorrow.PragueAddick said:

He's a legend to me.0 -
Legend for me, really wish I could be there tomorrow0

Kinsella stood out in 98-99 as our one absolute class prem player. Stayed with us when Blackburn were sniffing around, to think we stalled on paying money for him and almost let him go to Gillingham. Absolute legend.1
