Hi i am Keiths youngest son my dad sadley passed away on 9th November 2008. He loved is rugby as you can see in the photo. The day he died he had been out doing what he always did sunday mornings, watching his grandchildren play rugby. He had been watching his grandson play at Blackbrook who was sitting at top of the league and Ince Rose Bridge came away with a great win "one to remember", my dad he leaped over the fence with joy to congratulate the team at full time. 3 hour later he passed away at home.
