Ball, Keith Keith lived in Beatrice Street Leamore, and I lived in Bagnall Street which was a street off Keith's. I played football with Keith's younger brothers, one who played in goal (Melvin) and later in my teens against them. Keith was a nice guy who always spoke to us when we saw him, and was an excellent goalkeeper.
