Vele bekende koppen sieren de wanden. Niet alleen Kist. Er is ook aandacht voor die andere peilers van dat elftal zoals John Metgod, Ronald Spelbos, Hugo Hovenkamp, Jan Peters, Kristen Nygaard en Pier Tol. Om er een paar te noemen.
Kist is in 1979 dan ook de eerste Nederlander die de prestigieuze prijs wint.
In het betaald voetbal ben ik bij Heerenveen begonnen en ook bij Heerenveen geeindigd. Dat einde was niet zo prettig. Foppe de Haan was coach en die had zo'n acht jongens van het Cios, waar hij toen les gaf, in de selectie gehaald.
Na een avontuur in Frankrijk keerde Kist terug in de Eredivisie waardoor hij tot een totaal van 212 doelpunten kwam.
Dat viel ook op bij Kees Kist, rapporteur van De Telegraaf.
Na de voetbalcarriere van Kees Kist, is Kees als verkoopman verder gegaan op allerlei markten. Kees verkoopt met name schoenen en tassen.
Alleen de naam van de Kees Kist Lounge is al een voorbode voor een uniek evenement in het AFAS Stadion. De naar de Europese Gouden Schoen-winnaar en AZ-topscorer aller tijden vernoemde lounge heeft een warme voetbalambiance en is maar liefst 1120 m² groot.
De Steenwijker Kees Kist, oud-international en speler van onder andere AZ '67, wordt vanaf het nieuwe seizoen de nieuwe trainer van de zondagvierdeklasser Tolbert. Kist is tot het einde van dit seizoen nog trainer van de Steenwijker Boys.
