    He was a very divisive player.  I really liked him and thought he gave it all but mates didn't and called him captain clean shorts saying he was nicking a living.

    I used to hate it when people called him that. Very insulting to a cracking player.

    Interesting that curbs didn’t trust him much in a midfield two. Even in his second season we were starting games with him on the right and Euell and Murphy in the centre until he got injured.

    The man kept the ball. He made sure the people around him kept the ball. He moved it on and got it back. Moved it on again.

    Keeping the ball is really important. I was too stupid to realise. Dad and I thought he was totally pointless. We can only apologise.

    There's no telling some people Rodders.
    He was an integral part of a modestly resourced, punching-well-above-their-weight Charlton side that achieved our highest ever premier league finish (would have been even higher but for you-know-who).
    Popped up with some great and important goals too.
    Maybe suffered for not being Parker or Claus, but like Kishishev he did an important job.
    (Now, the spats I had with my mates over Kishishev...)

    but of course, not our highest ever top flight finish...
