Terrible news. I knew he had been ill not too long ago but I thought all that was behind him.

RIP Keith, one of football good guys and a GTFC legend.

Very sad news.

My greatest memory of him is when he headed the opening goal v Wimbledon at Plough Lane in the late 80's in front of 6,000 travelling Mariners - as BP Vicar mentioned.

RIP Big Keith.

Just got up after working nights to hear this shocking news.

I knew Keith well.  A top top man.
condolences to Helen and the family.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

We and all the football community will miss the big fella.
Only 53 makes us older ones feel vunerable.


Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play.
It is bound up with hatred,jealousy,boastfullness,
disregard of all rules and a sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence;
In other words it is war without the shooting.
