I'm Steve, Kevin's son. Reading these comments makes me immensely proud of my father. He would've loved to have seen them.
Unfortunately the 'wordsmith' gene skips a generation so I won't be able to fill his slot in the press box. Just have to keep checking those extinguishers and fire doors in my role as Fire Steward on match days instead 🥴.
I also loved his reports.
My favourite line of his?..... Commenting on the Dutch centre forward's performances after signing for CAFC in 2006
"Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Took the money and didn't run". Genius 🤣

Hi Steve, I have grown up reading your dad’s reports and they have meant a great deal to me on my Charlton journey. His wit and sarcasm sprinkled through a match report made me smile, even after a defeat
Thinking of you, your family and your loved ones at this difficult time
RIP Kevin, your a Charlton legend

Steve - very sorry for your loss, your dad (and your mum) were both great friends to my dad when he was alive. He loved chatting to them both about all things Charlton.
