The guy was a bloody magnificent goalkeeper. I quote from a Sunday times article from 1973, I think, which I still have in a scrap book.
'Keelan once saved seven out of eight penalties against Norwich in a season and estimates that throughout his career he has saved at least 50 per cent of the penalties taken against him'
I lost count in those days of the number of brilliant performances he put in. He got better as he got older and though Woods, Gunn and Green have all been good I seriously rate Keelan as the best I've seen in the yellow and green. (or all green, or red and green as he sometimes wore a red top, including in the first City game I ever saw!)
