I knew Keith before he became famous.He was a driving instructor at the time and got my father through his driving test.Later he became part of a group of us who used to congregate behind the posts on the kop at every home match at Lawkholme Lane as it was then.Keith was sound-down to earth and no frills

I went to the computer as soon as I read the article in the Telegraph, only to find the cable had been dug up by building work on the farm . So I missed the chance to be first. However Dennis did it for me so thanks for that. What a remarkable fellow and a grand obituary . He had an Honours Degree in Life , which ranks with any from a University

Just to be in on the 'I knew Keith' list. I go back to childhood when we of the Bradford Streeters were in mortal combat with the Parson Streeters, among others. I have thrown many a brick at Keith in my early years and received lots back I might add. I think Keith lived on Thrush Street.

Correction, Arthur. He lived on Jay Street. Indeed, the first chapter in his book, Goldfinder, is titled 'The Jay Street Gang'.
Incidentally, it is reported in this week's Keighley News that a memorial service will be held for Keith next Wednesday, 23rd June. A parade through town will set off from Cliffe Castle gates at 1 pm, followed by a service at Keighley Shared Church(T'owd Parish Church).
