We got him from WBA and passed him onto Swindon as I recall.
Don’t remember signing him twice.
if I am wrong forgive me.
If memory serves me correct signed from WBA, sold back to WBA, resigned and then sold to Swindon. Might be wrong of course. Need someone with the big red book to confirm.

Looking at this list reminds me of a cab journey to Dublin airport. Talk about blarney the driver could talk. He asked who I supported and then asked how Mark Kinsella was viewed. I could tell he was really proud when I told him he was a legend. The driver told me he started at Home Farm and it was just round the corner - he looked at his watch - I think he wanted to take me there, but I had a plane to catch. He had plenty of other stories to tell me including the day he'd pulled up at the traffic lights beside U2's drummer. He apparently wound down his window to chat to him and asked if he still kept his eye in and still practised his drumming.
Home Farm is an amazing boys club that has produced 43 Republic of Ireland Internationals including Ray Treacy, Mark Kinsella and Theo Foley.

Thank you for posting, memory must be playing tricks, still a brilliant signing though. Some fantastic goals, notably Derby at home and Palace away in the cup.
Sasa Ilic. He may not have burnt for long, but boy did he burn bright while he did. From swimming pool lifeguard to arguably the most in form goalkeeper in the country for probably a 10 game period or so at the end of 97/98 season. I'm not sure even his mum had heard of him when we signed him.

He is on the Undr the Cosh podcast talking about his early years and playing youth football and making the move to the UK and signing with us. Interesting listen!

That podcast was entertaining .
I do think we would have gone up with anyone in goal behind the Mills, Rufus, Youds , Bowen defence . It needed Kiely to come in for me to see a really good keeper for us ( I don’t go back as bad as Bolder).
Pre-Premier days. Derek Hales. Brought so much excitement. Clive Mendonca. He made me believe we were serious about promotion. Everyone else Lenny Lawrence and Alan Curbishley signed. Proper Charlton players every one of them.

He deserved to be part of a more successful team. Brilliant player

Almost lost Kins to Gillingham, through prevarication and low funds!
As much as I love the tunnel jump, Kinsellas fist pump after a win to the covered end was something to behold.
