BRISTOL86 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 Best wishes Keith. I remember going to a summer school kind of thing when I was a kid, think it was in Greville Smyth Park? and being totally star struck by meeting him and having my photo taken with him !

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 He was awesome in that Sunderland game, I still can`t believe we got out of there with a point (neither can 34,000 Mackems or Kevin Phillips I imagine). Didn`t get home till about 6am as we got a puncture somewhere near Catterick but a great night. All the best big man and get well soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really was one of the most one sided games I can remember but strangely had a feeling we would get a late goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 This is sad news, as others have expressed, he was a great keeper and easily one of my all time favourites. Wish him all the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukneil Posted September 7, 2016 Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 For reasons too silly to admit on this forum I didn't make the replay at Anfield in '94, instead listening to the radio commentary in the poky Bedminster flat where I was living at the time. I still have the commentary recorded on a C 90 cassette and there is a line in there which for me is even more iconic than Tinnions goal, which is Alan Green suddenly blurting out "magnificent save from Welch". I'd have to listen again to remember from which Liverpool player although I don't really care, it was their only real chance I believe and of course Elvis wasn't about to let it past. Thanks for that Keith and all the other memories, Keith was number one during my most 'intensive' City watching days. Best wishes and prayers for your speedy and complete recovery.

1960maaan Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 A mate of mine is a good friend of Kieth's and he's just shared a status update on FB. Thought you'd like to read this. Deborah Welch 3 mins · Clevedon · Mr W update!! This morning - he's only out of intensive care after 1 day!! BUT still doom and gloom...ish and still full of wires and tubes. By 4pm he'd only 2 left in! I took him on a WALK!! and by the time i left at 6pm he's sat eating his tea!!! Apparently he's 'remarkable' and i agree, who am i to disagree with a surgeon!! :-) p.s the surgeon came in and said ....... i was driving in this afternoon and listening to the radio and they were wishing a BCFC goalkeeper a speedy recovery! You never told me you were Keith Welch!!! "Well my name is written above my head, on my notes and all over this place" he said!! :-) :-) xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just one of those names you expected would be on the team sheet week after week for a fair number of years. 273 appearances is no mean feat. Got to be honest however, was I the only one that looked at the picture and mentally drew in a 'tash? All my wishes for a quick recovery and then a longstanding clean sheet.

Admin phantom Posted September 9, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Just want to thank @ashton_fan, who has kindly arranged for the Sunderland away match (where Keith played the game of his life) they had on VHS to be copied onto a DVD, which is then being given to Keith today as a little acknowledgement that City fans are all passing on their best wishes Great work from the City family again !

cidered abroad Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 I notice he's now wearing specs. For those who weren't around when he was, if Keith had a weakness at all, it was that he let some very long distance shots go past him on a few occasions. Hence the temporary nickname of "Mr Magoo".

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Do we know whether the club is aware of what he`s been through? I`m not on twitter but perhaps someone ought to tweet Adam Baker if they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redandy Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 A friend at work is a Rochdale fan and asked to mention on our site that Rochdale fans are like us all wishing Keith a speedy recovery. He was very popular and a bit of a legend at the Dale. Like me he is useless on the technical side of things or would have posted himself. Get well soon Keith.

Bar BS3 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 For anyone interested, I've just been to a BBQ where Keith Welch was a guest. A lovely bloke, over his health scares and doing really well. Without the quiff or 'tash I wouldn't have recognised a boyhood hero of mine! So after knowing that he'd been unwell, it was great to bump into him and know that all is good for him. This is him with my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
