Keith Jones, to whom I dedicated a book
Charlton fans like to have a scapegoat player. My father used to think that 'Squib' Hammond was not up to much, but I thought he played his part in the midfield engine room.
I remember when it was Keith Jones whose kit I sponsored. People objected to him passing the ball sideways, but he was supposed to be a defensive midfielder. When he stepped up to take his penalty at the Greatest Game people around me shouted 'Not him', but he scored.
In his latest blog, the Chicago Addick assesses Conor Coventry who was an unused substitute for Ireland in their 5-0 defeat.
However, perhaps it is the Gasman who has disappointed most this season. Here a fan analyst [?] discusses his contribution: https://soccer4u.co.uk/?p=12255
Keith Jones's Wikipedia entry: "In just under six years at The Valley, he was a part of two teams which won promotion to the Premier League – the first in 1998 after victory in the First Division play-off final and the second two years later, when the club won the First Division title." No too shabby. I certainly don't have any negative memories of him.
ReplyDeleteKeith Jones's first home debut for Charlton was the best I have seen since the 1960ies Wyn. Could do with such a player today!
