A Charlton supporting  friend of mine sent me this link. The story summed up Keith. He always had time for everyone. R.I.P.

""I'm Keith Alexander. Is your son home? I've a package for him," he said, my Mum blissfully unaware who he was."

What a legend!

What a fantastic read and again a testimony to a great man. A situation I'm sure we've all dreamed of; our hero showing up at the door.

Still in shock but lovely to read the thoughts of people on here and I am sure his family will take heart from how he impacted on so many people.

Keith was the reason i used to love watching town when i was 11 years old, always remember the goal against Carlise, and Chesterfield away when it was the battle of the big lads Keith v Jamie Hewitt. RIP Keith you will always be a legend in my eyes.

I wonder how many of the Premiership stars of today would put themselves out like that, just to bring a smile to the face of a young fan. Sums him up perfectly

wasnt just his goal against wimbeldon.....while still 1 up a cross came in and kieth rose to head it....and headed it straight back to where it came from......the wimbeldon players just looked at each other thinking ..what the fvckmis going on....if he had put that chance away we would have had um................before his untimley departure i would always describe him to my lad as a 6ft4 striker who was 6ft 2 when he jumped......often seem to bend has he jumped.....this is said with affection....it was because he wasnt perfect that he is loved so much

best quote on here and made me laugh was the one about a small man taking a large dog for a walk....to describe kieths relationship with the ball


<*(((><

    Town have given me some of my highest highs and my lowest lows ........ God it is like a marriage

Aye, he was one of those rare breed of players who was taller when he was standing still than what he was when he jumped.
