I recall Football Focus doing a few football reports when he was manager at Lincoln - seemed like a very likeable bloke, who had the respect of his players.

Nightmare...more bad news of someone so young passing away.

It's got to be said the the www is making this world TOO small. Years ago you would never have heard so much news so quickly...

I for one, embrace it.

RIP Fella.

It must be a while since a league manager died in office. That happened a lot back in the day (McCartney and McMichael with Hibs) but can't have happened much recently.

:dunno:

RIP. Too young to go.

"He recently had a bout of hiccups that he couldn't get rid of and he went into hospital for that, but he wasn't feeling ill when I spoke to him last, he was bubbly."

That seems like a bit of an error on part of the hospital then seeing as extended bouts of hiccups can often be indicative of a serious neurological problem.

Nottingham man born and bred and very well liked and respected in the game. Keith was an accomplished cricketer and rugby player too..

Sad news.
