Cheers THAT goal against Derby was a stunner - just a shame it didn't prove to be the winner thanks to the fat lump of lard ex Fail scum Van der Laan (i think it was him who equalised anyway).

Nice one Dave. Great player for us and where ever he has played. He's up there with Rooster.

He was again a key player at Vale Park in 1994–95, as the club retained their second tier status. However his good looks and popularity with the Vale fans saw him targeted by the more thuggish element of rivals Stoke City and he was punched in the face whilst inside a pizza and kebab house in Newcastle-under-Lyme on 18 June 1995.[1]

Was that the game were Van Der Laan was booed all game and popped up in the last few minutes to score the equaliser?

Indeed, a beautiful oasis in what was at the time, a vast desert of shit.

Nice fella and seemed to get on with everyone, despite his hair.

Anyone remember that corner who took in THAT Birmingham game? Basically kicked the turf instead of the ball, funny how you remember such mundane incidents

It was the Dutch ponse that equalised in that game and the time is etched in my memory 89 minutes 32 seconds the fat bastard.

Basically kicked the turf instead of the ball, funny how you remember such mundane incidents I remember it but thought it was a season later, when we were in the third division. Keeno started every season brilliantly, and it always seemed like this was going to be his year. Then every October he was washed away by the rain for another season. Better attitude than his team-mates though.

Keen was brilliant, at least he looked brilliant with the players surrounding him.
I was only young but he was the one I remember picking the ball up and running at players down the flank, the only player providing excitement at the time (as I remember it anyway).
Top stuff.

Good read that!
I remember in the Brian Little season he scored a beautiful goal against a club I can't remember (Oldham maybe?) where he chipped the goal keeper from outside the box. I can even remember Nige describing it as a 'cool, calm, calculated chip' on the season review VHS ;D

Can anyone remember when we played Carlisle(I think) in a pre-season friendly at Brunton park. He was running full tilt trying to keep the ball from going out for a corner and instead of slowing down he carried on running into the corner where there was goal posts etc layed out on the ground. I think it was the Stoke fans who urged him to keep running

The bit where he had to give Justin Whittle half a point for answering the question "Who invented the jet engine" and he answered "me". Mint

Kev Keens pisstake of the Lion mascots routine at Burnden Park is one of the funniest things I've seen at football.

my brother played for ENgland U19's with Kev Keen. LOvely bloke, cracking player.
Remmeber he always had time for me and my old man. I remember a game at Barnsley where we lost 3-0 on a frozen pitch - might have been Boxing Day. Keeno saw us on the front row as the players warmed up. He told us that Stoke had only packed long metal studded boots and that the game would be an absolutel farce as we'd be falling aots.
He was spot-on. I gave my brother Keeno's number 7 shirt from his first season at Stoke as a Xmas present this year. Might try to an interview with him soon, as he must have a few tales to tell not least from the club's he's coached at.

I'd love to hear what was going on behind the scenes at Stoke in the late 90s.
