Kieth was our coach for many years. Dedicated to the sport, much loved by the team and well respected by all the Sunday League players. RIP Kieth, thanks for those great times!
Missing you.
What a generous kind and considerate man.
He will be missed by many local football legends and was still playing walking football right up until his health deteriorated, ( he even played with an oxygen cylinder on his back ). He will be sorely missed by all at BTWFC. And everyone involved in local football.
RIP Keith
Keith was a friend and full of encouragement to me and many others, we first met when he joined Bracknell Town Walking FC,he was always there to help everyone who needed advice or medical treatment. We at BTWFC are devastated at his passing and the entire club send their condolences to his family and close friends.
