really Kev - blimey wasn;t at the club that long ....
anyway - never forget the midweek night at anfield when his great volley was going in all day long to get a point after those bin dippers got another dodgy penalty - and grobelaar made an unbelievable save and even caught it
Steve Mackenzie ..... wasn't he the boy wonder player from Cripple Paralysis signed for a then astronimical fee for a 17 year old - Malcolm Allison bought him for Man City, didn't he?
Never quite lived up to expections elsewhere - but in our Selhurst years he had that quality touch on the ball (along with Robert Lee, Colin Walsh & Morts) in Lennie the Legend's nomadic tribe.
Lennie used to say he always went for the underachievers with a bit of quality who would take their 2nd chance.
Last I heard, he was playing at Shrewsbury Town with the likes of Chico Hamilton.
Mackenzie didn't grind away (!) and do donkey work. Maybe lacked a bit of pace - but creative, great 1st touch & technique, good passer and pick out a terrific shot from distance.
Quality footballer .... who let's be honest, should have spent his whole career playing for more star-studded clubs than Charlton & West Brom.
We tore Tony Adams to shreds that day .......chanting ee- yore, ee-yore, donkey Adams.
Didn't Mackenzie score twice as we put on a hell of a fightback?

thats right old adams used to get that everywhere he went for his whole flippin career .....
yeah, christ its a long time ago, we just came up short...
He was a real quality player. I was quite sceptical when Lennie signed him because of his relative failure after all the hype at Man City. Good touch and great passer of the ball.

But Steve Mackenzie is Tony Adams cousin.
When we had the 'Hayes & West Wickham Supporters Group' we used to sponsor him and he came to one of our socials.
Nice bloke .
Good player and good tache.
That explains all the goals he scored for Charlton against Arsenal - he was fired up playing against his cousin!
quality player.
