Happy 80th Birthday Kevin Keelan.

Recommended Posts

I think that was the very poster I had on my wall as a kid. Probably my favourite NCFC player still.

 

Many happy returns!

He was was a fantastic player, but my lasting memory was when he punched out the Northampton forward, and just kept walking towards the tunnel, with the referee running after him, to send him off.

I think he is my favourite player of all time. So good to read that he is 80 and still obviously going strong. If we ever had a statue competition he would get my vote!

I was at that game with my Dad and brother. The crowd were laughing and clapping him as he walked off and I think the ref even did a pratfall as he chased after him. Great memories!

First saw him in the mid 70s when I was a kid, at my first CR experience (a night match). The anticipation of seeing live the City player everyone talked about was immense, very exciting.

It mattered not that we lost that friendly 0-1 as I saw the great man play in goal for my team.

Best keeper I’ve seen , and he stayed with Norwich . As a young lad watching him I thought he had a real aura about him , and he was a seriously , seriously  cool dude .

Happy birthday Mr.Keelan .

I remember his rather 'classy' kicking action even if I can't remember specific saves. City keeper for 17 years - not much fun being backup keeper in those days  😂

Best goalkeeper never to be capped for England, a very loyal servant to NCFC and a nice chap off the field.

Hope he has many more birthdays.

I've put this on here before, but couldn't let this go by.

This is the great KK playing at the age of 70 and still making good saves.
