I loved that man and will still cheer when he scores! 'We all dream of a team of Kermogants, a team of Kermogants...' something that the deluded ones will never understand: an experienced, committed and great goal-scorer!
Yann was at an Eltham addicks meeting back in september 2013 along with Dorian Dervite
Some of the things that Yann said on the night
Loved being at the club Family loved being based in Greenwich Loved the passion of the Charlton fans. Wanted to stay longer
KM Said, we are trying to do all we can to keep him at the club.
Guess we will never know what the contractual requirement was from Yann's point of view but we should have probably done a lot more to keep him. Really nice bloke and a Great Guest as well.
Bossed the game in the first half, he was really up for it, I actually think he's got better with age, what a crap decision to let him go, shows that Katrien really doesn't get what this club is all about.
The Championships answer to Eric Cantona. Selling him is still the decision that pisses me off the most. Epitomizes the 'f*ck you, we do what we want' attitude of the regime and his performance today proved how much of a mistake it was to let him go. What a player.
I'd never been so upset about a player leaving since Derek Hales left. Took a total of 4 minutes to show the clueless idiots running our club, just what they were missing.

I don't know what he was on, but he wanted an extra £2K per week, to sign a new contract. RD thought he wasn't good enough.
We refused and he went to Bournemouth for £400K and no doubt a larger salary.
We then spent £750K on Polish Pete, who even non league Grimsby turned down a few weeks back.
Polish Pete is now back at the Dutch club where he started.
Yann was the last player to leave the pitch and received applause from those still in the stadium. He clapped us back and as he was approaching the 'tunnel', tapped the upper left of his chest with a clenched fist. Had he remained an Addick - and all steps should have been taken to ensure that he did - the CAFC team would be comfortably mid-table, at least. That he was moved on is down to CAFC's 'management'. It was an awful decision which, among other awful decisions, will see CAFC relegated, ridiculed and ruined. I much dislike your meddling in our club, M Duchatelet, and shall oppose your ownership of it until you go away. May that day come soon.
Sonogo was never going to be allowed that goal. I was level with goal line in the east stand and it clearly wasn't his. On Yann, he was unplayable today and class before, during and after game. Clearly loves CAFC #gutted

An excellent description. If Yann had pace to go with his skill and heading ability he would have been a top, top player. One of my favourite ever Charlton players.
Does anyone know Yann Personally??????? Could we not get a photo of him with a black and white scarf...would be great extra publicity
Do not know Yann personally but photographed him a couple of times....... This might be helpful, with him in a black and white away shirt that I took at Andrews. I also took some head shots of him at the Eltham addicks as badger mentioned. No issues with you using the photographs Tel. If you send me your email I could airbrush out the backgrounds etc........

Reza -shit
Polish Pete - shit
Makinoke -average
George t - below average
Igor- decent, alongside yan awesome
But yann was not good enough
If you send me your email I could airbrush out the backgrounds etc........
The two goals were good but the pass for the 3rd goal was just sublime.
That's why some of us wouldn't move on.
CAFC used Yann as a battering Ram,
Bournemouth and Reading realized that he has magic feet as well.
