Kevin Anthony Lisbie (born 17 October 1978) is a footballer who last played as a striker for Brighton-based National League South side Whitehawk. Born in London, he earned 10 international caps for Jamaica.
Born in Hackney, London, Lisbie made his professional debut for Charlton Athletic during the 1996–97 season.
He joined Queens Park Rangers on a month-long loan in December 2000. He was placed on the transfer list by Charlton in February 2002, but eventually signed a new two year-deal with Charlton in May.Reading had been tracking Lisbie, but ended their interest in late 2003, although Reading manager Alan Pardew said he would wait until Lisbie's contract with Charlton would come to an end. Possibly his best moment in a Charlton shirt was a hat-trick against Liverpool in a 3–2 win over the Merseyside club in September 2003. Lisbie signed a new three-year deal with Charlton in June 2004. He was a regular for Charlton during the 2004–05 season, until he started suffering from a series of nosebleeds, which revealed a benign tumour in the back of his nose, which was treated over the summer of 2005.
Lisbie made a month-long loan move to Norwich City in September 2005 and was recalled by Charlton in October. Later that season, in February 2006, he spent a month on loan at Derby County as the club tried to resolve an injury crisis. Lisbie was ruled out for three months with a shoulder injury in October 2006, and returned for Charlton's game against Bolton Wanderers in January 2007.
Lisbie was released by Charlton in July of that year after struggling to break into the first team. Several loan spells away from the club made it clear that his future lay elsewhere.
