Player Profile
Keech represented Liverpool in six successive second division matches in the club's third season as members of the Football League in 1895/96. He played in Liverpool's half-back line, an area of the team where numerous changes were made during the course of the season. Considering that the club won the second division championship that year it was surprising that the team was not really settled with no player being 'ever-present'. Keech later played as forward for Leicester Fosse, scoring five goals in 15 League games, before returning to the half-back line with QPR‘s first professional team in the Southern league. Keech was an all-round sportsman and won honours for skating and boxing.
