I am going to write an article about this man for the Yahoo Football website and I would like to get fans' memories of and opinions about his time at Charlton. Please share them here!

I'll credit the site for any of your quotes used in the article. Cheers.

I remember he made a really good square 2 yard pass to a team mate once.

olster

Favourite player for years at Charlton. Always industrious, rarely skillful but could run and run and run.

CHG

Jesus, thought he had passed, phew.

superdulvertonred

Always remember him following Ryan Giggs all around the pitch one game and did manage to stop him play.

Always loved Kish.

Kashi reminds me of him just hope he gets back fit.

I do hope this is a wind up....

Not a fan of Kish, however I seem to remember he clattered Ronaldo a few time so kudos for that, also massive empathy for him when his wife passed at such a young age.

Henry Irving

Once said at a Bromley Addicks meeting about playing against Ronaldo when he first came to the Valley with Man Utd

"he never got passed me. The ball maybe but not him"

There is a video of the game and some of Kish's "tackles".

Loved him as a player and a person.

Lived in Bird in Hand Lane in Bickley around the corner from me too.

ricky_otto

Not his biggest fan, but he never gave up and was a real 100%er. And as said already, gave Ronaldo a going over.

SantaClaus

If we had a midfielder with half his energy and commitment we wouldn't be where we are now.

Nicholas

Started off shocking as a right back, Then played holding mid and he was different class, proper grafter that gave 110% not always the best technically but a fans favourite he was.

MuttleyCAFC

I rated him highly. Not spectacular but versatile and reliable. A manager's dream.

GRAY9

One of my favourite players. Ran all day for the team. Typical Curbs player.

andynelson

Several fans used to describe him as a "headless chicken", without understanding why Curbs used to pick him week in week out. Luckily Curbs paid no attention to them.

We were always a much better team with him in it.

I always thought that he was good at bailing others out when they made a mistake. But if he made a mistake no one managed to repay the favour so he often got blamed for the team conceding goals.

Goonerhater

this player wasnt rated by some ? wonder what they think of the garbage we have seen pull on the shirt in the last 8 years

Swisdom

Didn't he shed something like 14lb in a match once - such was his workrate?

Not the most technically gifted player but the sort that would run through a wall if you asked him to.

DaveMehmet

Would kill to have him in the team now

MuttleyCAFC

Look at old clips of our best games, he was at the heart of much of what we did.

Chizz

Once, after the last game of the season, I saw him coming out of the Valley, freshly showered, with his kit bag in his hand. A couple of kids ran up to him, shouting "can we have your boots please?" He was a bit perplexed and asked them why. They explained they wanted to auction them to raise funds for a class-mate who was ill. He put his bag down and opened it, rummaged round inside it and fished out his boots, handing it over to the kids. They squealed with delight, thanked him and walked off.

He called them back and gave them his match-worn shirt too.

This wideheld assessment is probably based on his 1st ten minutes in a Charlton shirt. Having arrived from a football ethos of passing to the man, he advanced upfield. Someone lost it and the ball was lobbed 50 yards into the space he had vacated and a player ran onto it. I don't think it led to a goal but Kish learnt quickly and was a mid Prem player at both RB and CM. Destroyed us for Brighton at about 35. One of my favourite players of the era.

What a player. The fact that some didn't rate him at all made me love him even more. Loved watching him get a nosebleed near the opposition box. Did he ever score for us from midfield? Seem to remember him scoring from right back once for some reason..

No, that was me when we started boycotting the beer and pies at The Valley

He scored a couple. aeem to remember he got 1 against West Ham from midfield.

Starinnaddick

Those who say he couldn't pass the ball were obviously not at The Valley when he returned playing for Brighton. Although nearing the end of his playing days, he was excellent .

He worked very hard indeed. I wouldsay our hardest working player. A lot went unnoticed. He was for me above mid-table premiership. You wouldn't want a team of Kishishevs, but most teams would want one in it!

Ra Ra Radostin Charlton's greatest goal machine

Don't know why that chant never took off

JordanJLD

He loved a terribly placed chip through ball
