I was later, joined the infants in 1963 and left Juniors in 1969. Am sure it was Keith who did one session when I must have been around eight or nine, but as I said was not into football then so may be mistaken. He was small and dark like Keith, and played for Charlton though.
Lucky you. Mind you, I was so shy back in those days I probably would have been too scared to speak to him
Trouble is, I was not interested in football then, so didn't appreciate him doing it until it was too late. Like you, I would have been too scared to ask for an autograph anyway.
Sounds like he's going to become a Great-Grandfather if he isnt already
Just seen a tweet from Gavin showing a photo of his Son and partner announcing it
Tis true, his son Jake and wife Christa are expecting. Check out Jakes kick boxing And MMA career, he is an outstanding athlete and top fella.
Isn't he the one-armed chap?
The guy is a machine
Yes he is, I have a vested interest, before they moved to Canada I used to teach and grade Jake and his sister Ava in the traditional MAs, both Gavin, Keith and the family used to come to all the gradings and tournaments and support all the kids. Smashing family. Jake opened Dunamis MAs in Canada and is very successful. Despite his disability he is rolling over everyone in his way In the kickboxing and MMA rings. Great spirit and dedication.
Met him at a friends funeral yesterday. He was looking very well and was convinced that we would bounce back again soon. Such a nice fellow - thought people may be interested as there were some concerns re his health posted on here recently. A true Charlton legend.

Saw Keith walking his dog in Bexley yesterday looking as fit as ever.

First saw him play when he was a boy being nurtured by Eddie Firmani .. the epitome of a one club loyalist as a player .. we'll forgive him his time managing the Kent small fry and working for his friend St Llewellyn at the Hammers
He predates Curbs at West Ham, as he was actually brought there by Pardew!
so he'd left before Curbs arrived there ?
Answering a very old question, I'm pretty sure Pardew brought Peacock to West Ham, and when Pardew was sacked he stayed on and ended up working with Curbs and Day again.
Keith’s wife was unwell during the height of the pandemic and was subsequently staying away from everybody. Keith did the same to prevent any risk to her.
I’ve chatted with a Keith at the last few games and he seems absolutely fine
He played some great games for Charlton, the one that stands out for me is when Keith Newton ( Blackburn) had just received his call up as England full back to go to the 1970 world cup with England, we then played Blackburn at home and Keith turned Newton inside out so many times it took them weeks to undo the knots.

I remember that game well, KP gave a masterclass in wing play, KP was an exceptional player. Happy birthday Keith,
I had the pleasure of training and playing with him in the Charlton youth team and made a point of speaking to him after his first game at the Valley for the first team. I remember him because he went on and made a successful career in football, I did not, so he will not remember me .

Spoke to him a few times when i had the opportunity to have a day in his lounge at the Sunderland game. Was limping a bit but was on good form throughout the day.

How was Keith looking though?
Pardew spoke highly of Peacock.
