The first time I met FA I was struggling to ID him, when he took himself behind the bar of the Head of Steam & poured himself a pint of Waggledance into a glass flower vase I knew we had clicked.

| I was lucky enough to be at Keith's first game. Eddie Tees had slung his hook and Keith - just 16 - was brought into the first team. I remember his first kick at goal. The crowd was silent - nervously wishing him to do well. We needn't have worried. He went on to score 27 points in the match and a legend was born. In the same match Arnie Long ran in 5 tries. Never seen that from a prop before or since but, sadly for Arnie, he was somewhat over shadowed.
The arguments about Keith's pace matter not. The game has changed but he was the best I ever saw. All you can be is as good as you can be when your time comes. Keith played the game with calmness and modesty and was a true sportsman. When you see some of the sportsmen who recieve MBEs and the like it makes it a criminal shame that they seldom go to the ones who deserve them most.

| I saw that match too, the most interesting thing about it, in a way, is can you imagine a sixteen-year old getting brought into the first team today?

| I saw the match as well, who would have believed he would have gone on and played nearly 600 matches of such a high consistency, I believe he was only substitute on a handful occasions and most of those in the latter years. For a 16 year old to become a permanent fixture was amazing. A true legend no wonder fans call him Sir Keith.
