Keith Alexander has died aged just 53. R.I.P.

thats a shock rip

Seem to remember he had a brain op a few years back.
Very sad.

yes he did but recovered he was on sky sports last week saying how much he was enjoying it at maccsfield

thats awful news. RIP Keith

dreadful news. RIP

Bloody hell. Thoughts to all that knew him.

R.I.P.

rip keith alexander and sympathy to all at macclesfield town fc.

Y'know what?

This football thing's not really all that important after all, is it?

RIP

Thousands of people die everyday unfortunately, it's part of life. I know the importance of football, it personally doesn't change for me just because someone dies.

That's nice for you.

someone says that on each RIP thread yet you can guarantee within hours world war 3 will have broken out on here because someone has spelt ritchie humphreys wrongly!!

You could have at least used capitals out of respect!

indeed.

i got some stick for sticking up for ct this week, one of my best mates died the other week so football for me doesnt mean as much as it used to. im still passionate about pools but its not life or death is it?

sad news. R.I.P.

Too true.

As the late great Bill Shankly said "People think football is a matter of life and death but it's much more important than that"

RIP Keith. Thoughts with your family.

That is tragic news. My condolences go to everyone at Macclesfield Town and Keith's family.

What awful news that is!!!!

We may all as people support different football teams from across the country, but in times like these, we are united by the grief and sadness of the loss of a human being.

R.I.P Keith Alexander.

You just could'nt say RIP like everyone else

Michael Foot ex labour leader also dies

What can I say, moments like these require sensitivity and a bit of eloquence, decorum etc.

I wouldnt know about suchlike

shame that
RIP

seemed a decent bloke, condolences. Nothing is put in perspective though and i still view football in the same light. Hth

RIP

I never liked him, did anyone go to the away game when we lost 2-0 in the promotion season?? He spent the entire game whining at the ref/4th ref/the other fookin' refs and when it was 0-0 he was telling the ball boys to do ferk all on our throws and feigning stopping the ball and letting it roll through etc.

Horrible, cynical man, a perennial poor player, a worse manager, but I guess now he's dead he's a saint, right??

Yeah, RIP.

RIP.

For every silly boy like John Terry you get a proper football person like Mr Alexander. That's why I feel lucky to follow a club at this level at the game.

Mr Spender do give over, so because his teams played in a certain manner and he moaned at the ref that made him a "horrible, cynical man". If you don't like someone that's up to you but you surely need a better reason than that!? In interviews he always seemed a nice enough bloke, Bobby Gould said on Talksport that you wouldn't find anyone in the game with a bad word to say about him.

Was he gay?

England will wear black armbands tonight in tribute to Keith Alexander:

Racists.

Oh well, if Bobby Gould said so..........and on Talksport as well......that's almost a blessing from the Vatican.

And if, when off the pitch, he turned on the charm, well....what can I say?? Joey Barton seems like a nice chap when he's not raving pissed or full of coke and smacking people, and that Craig Bellamy helps blind kids across the road when he's not booting his team mates, and that Lee Hughes, he's really sorry you know....

Not allowed to be a 'batty bwoy,' his family would have shot him.

So becuase his team time wasted and he moaned to a ref whilst having to cheek to stuff Pools you are comparing him to people who have been convicted of crimes and sent to prison.

Seems fair.

Sorry Spender can't agree with you I met Keith a few years ago when he was at peterboro we had just beat them 1-0 scoring late on and he took time out after the game to come and talk to the lads in the sponsors box even though we had been on his case all game a true gentleman and a good laugh as well Rip Keith

Who's Keith Alexander?



Is Jade Goody still dead?

I didn't even know she was ill.

Yep, that's about it..... What was Craig Bellamy convicted of again and how long did he do??

I fail to see what point you are trying to make other than looking for an argument. Hughes and Barton both went to prison, your opinion on Alexander seems to be based on the way he played football and the way he managed football teams. Is that a reason enough to dislike a person enough to call them "horrible and cynical" on his death? Or can you admit it is slightly ott?

A simple question, did you ever meet the bloke? Because I’ve been listening to people who knew him well and said he was a good person. Yet I quote Bobby Gould and get laughed at.

Is it a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

I stated my case, you objected and I justified it. You carried on. Who's looking for an argument?? I agree he stopped being horrible and cynical when he died like....

Without wishing to get all 'kentish' about this, I do think you're in a very small minority, Mr S.

Alexander was a real character, but I'd take ten of him over chunts like Martin Allen.
