Midfielder Keith signed from Goole Town at the start of the 1970/71 season.

After gaining his "blue" for football at Cambridge, Keith started his senior career at Harwich & Parkeston, a successful spell at Bath City and a summer in Toronto lead to a move to Plymouth Argyle, where he made his Football League debut in 1964/65. The following season he moved to QPR, where he made over 100 League appearances in 4 seasons, helping them win the Third Division title and the League Cup at Wembley. Remarkably, Keith was a part-timer throughout, holding down a job in the computer industry.
