CHARLTON legend Kevin Lisbie will be a proud man when his son Kyrell lines up at The Valley for Cray Valley Paper Mills on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The winger, 19, has netted seven goals so far in the FA Cup as the Isthmian League South East club battled through EIGHT <\/strong>matches to set up this first-round clash.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

And the tiny eighth-tier side \u2014 three miles down the road from their illustrious neighbours \u2014\u00a0was one of his dad\u2019s last clubs before he hung up his boots.<\/p>\n

Kevin is best known for his 11 years as a pro at Charlton \u2014\u00a0which included eight in the Premier League. In total, he scored 19 goals in\u00a0\u00a0176 appearances for the Addicks between 1996 and 2007 before going on to play for Colchester, Millwall, Ipswich, Leyton Orient and Barnet among others.<\/p>\n

He told SunSport: \u201cI\u2019m so proud of the journey Kyrell has been on at Cray. His performances and goals have played a major part in getting them this fantastic tie against Charlton.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Kevin, 45, who often does media work for the Addicks, will put family first in terms of his loyalties.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019ll be supporting my son. Hopefully he can perform and score \u2014 and the result will sort itself out between two clubs I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyrell is too young to remember his dad playing in the top flight during Charlton\u2019s golden years under Alan Curbishley but has watched videos \u2014 especially the famous hat-trick he scored in a 3-2 win against Liverpool in 2003.<\/p>\n

And when the draw was made, the teen, who is playing in his first FA Cup campaign, was ecstatic.<\/p>\n

He told me: \u201cI was at church at the time. I called my dad just before and said, \u2018Imagine Charlton away.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it came to realisation, I was screaming, shouting and excited. My emotions were so high because to play at The Valley, where my dad had so many wonderful years, is a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyrell has played football for as long as he can remember with his twin brother Kyreece, who is currently on the books at Brentford.<\/p>\n

He played youth football for Leyton Orient and West Ham as well as for college and Sunday league teams before joining Watford \u2014\u00a0but suffered heartache when the Hornets released him at the end of his scholarship.<\/p>\n

But rather than feeling sorry for himself, the teen decided to go down the non-league route, playing for Woodford Town and Welling before pitching up at Cray in the summer.<\/p>\n

Kevin wound down his career in non-league, plying his trade for Barnet, Whitehawk, Cray Valley Paper Mills and VCD Athletic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And the ex-Charlton ace believes young players rejected by pro clubs can still realise their football dreams by developing as a semi-pro. In fact, playing at that level can be better than at an academy.<\/p>\n

Kevin said: \u201cI\u2019m a firm believer that as soon as you can start playing men\u2019s football the better it is for your development.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the sessions you have had as a kid and managers telling you to do certain things, it makes sense once you play against men. You realise you must be quick on the ball because you\u2019re going to get tackled quickly and you\u2019re up against experienced people who have been in positions you\u2019ve been in and understand the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyreece also played for Cray before being picked up by Brentford and their dad added: \u201cJust to get that experience is so vital and it\u2019s helped them both mature in terms of understanding the game. Football intelligence is more important than just talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso it keeps you grounded. When I was at Cray, the boys would turn up in their work clothes on a Tuesday night covered in paint or whatever.<\/p>\n

When I was at Cray, boys would turn up in their work clothes on a Tuesday night covered in paint. It makes you love and appreciate the game."<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes you love and appreciate the game. It\u2019s important Kyrell understands that in order to be a professional footballer you must love the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

His son added: \u201cWhen you\u2019re in academies, it\u2019s friendlies every week here in non-league you\u2019re fighting for three points every game. You want to get promoted, you want to do well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFans are a massive part in non-league too \u2014 if you don\u2019t perform, you get stick. And there\u2019s pressure to keep your shirt so the environment is totally different. I\u2019m so pleased to be experiencing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kyrell and Kyreece are huge on social medial. Between the pair, they have more than a MILLION <\/strong>followers on TikTok. They use the platform not just to highlight their highs but also their lows.<\/p>\n

Rejection is a huge thing in football and many budding players do not make it to the top of the game.<\/p>\n

And the Cray striker said: \u201cThe main goal is to inspire kids in my position, older and younger.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball isn\u2019t what it always seems. There are lots of rejections. I, in particular, try to show the hard side of football. The work that goes into being a footballer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and my brother are very close. We do everything together and have become popular on the app. But we just hope to help others understand the highs and lows of trying to make it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Almost 70 people have bought tickets to watch Kyrell play with all his family and many friends going to the Valley tonight.<\/p>\n

And the youngster believes a fairytale win is possible against the League One club.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI\u2019ve not watched a lot of Charlton but there\u2019s a lot of quality in League One. If you can keep them quiet for the first 15 to 20 minutes then you never know what can happen.<\/p>\n

And how would that make his dad feel?<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt would be my favourite-ever moment watching football.\u201d<\/p>\n
