I thought, whilst not spectacular, he played an important role in our last promotion season. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapSmurf Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Him and many others, including my own brother, have suffered the same fate. It ended my brothers career although there were other issues there too, and no doubt that is what the problem was with Keith. Fortunately, safegaurding and the ability to speak up about your issues, in what is a highly testosterone fueled sport, where weaknesses can and will be exposed and punished, mean that I would hope less and less feel the need to hide their issues. It might still mean the end of their careers as a player, but not the end of their lives as a human being. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Really interesting, thanks for posting. I respect his honesty. Everybody thinks footballers are robots who want the same thing and are immune to mistakes. He wanted to play in the Premier League and for his country and did, sounds like that was it for him. On his time with us, he was a key loan signing, a perfect fit. Whereas Antonio was pace and power, Treacy was more guile and craft. Could tell why he had played higher up. Hope he keeps up the good work, nice to hear he's on the more straight and narrow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaton_Swfc Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 That goal against Brentford away, the day united lost to Stevenage (I think) and we overtook them in the table. One of my best memories watching Wednesday that was. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was when we overtook them in the League table for the first time and I - for one - really started to believe promotion was going to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t watch extra time of the Pigs game. I went outside the boozer pacing up and down waiting to hear the cheer from indoors. What a day.

Feel for him but good to see he is back on track and looking to the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteOwl91 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Sad how it seems to have resulted in him almost having no friends in football (barring ironically Ross Wallace), the addiction really is a destroyer in so many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan_Pepper Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 That really is an eye opening article and interview. Thanks for posting it. Glad he's in a better place now and hopefully he keeps himself well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember one of the lads had SkyGo or whatever the equivalent in 2012 was and the entire coach huddled round his phone watching the game. Honestly the limbs on that bus at full time were something I'll never forget. We had to pull off at Watford gap and we were going absolutely mental in the carpark just as a coach load of Rotherham fans turned up on their way back from Dagenham (if I remember). They took one look at us and got straight back on the motorway. Lovely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were canoeing from Fort William to Inverness on that day. We pulled up on a headland, fizzed. While a mate went to ask the farmer if we could stay on his land, I turned my phone on and saw the result. I remember being absolutely buzzing, dancing around on the banks of Loch Ness. Back on topic. Really rated Keith. Would have liked us to sign him. I am presuming his drinking issues stopped us from doing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my best memories watching Wednesday that was. Great day that. Watched the Stevenage game on Sky. The Pigs were 2 down, got it back to 2-2 and then had one cleared off the line at the death.
