Im good friends with the doctor that was treating his heart problems a few years ago and he said then, he was lucky to survive the surgery never mind work again.

Just shows what storng bloke he was, a true gentle giant, still serving football till the very end.

RIP. Big Keith

That is awful news. We all thought he was fully fit now and it must be a terrible blow to his family. RIP

Such a shock. RIP Keith.


Those were the days, my friend,
We took the Stretford End,
We took the Kop, the Kippax and the Shed,
We lived the life we choose,
We'd fight, we'd never lose,
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days,
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, Town!

I knew that he had suffered a brain aneuryism but I didn't know that he had heart problems too.

I am totally shocked.

It was only last night that i saw him being interviewed on Sky after the Notts game.  He looked absolutely fine.

He is a Town legend and no one that saw him play will ever forget him.

RIP Keith, you were great.

Sad sad day, legend in every sense of the word.

My ever lasting memeory of him was when we played at Lincoln around 90/91ish and the guy who used to do the original "I'll give you a G..R..I.." was there, he kept shouting "Alex, Alex...yoo hoo Alex" in a motherly kind of voice everytime he and the ball came near us. The only time he lost his concerntration was as the ball was directed to him from a throw in, 'Big Keef' looked at the crowd laughing ....as the ball went passed to the guy marking him!!


RIP Dusky
