Sure I also saw him do it on occasion when coming out for pre match warm ups during our prem days but I only remember him doing it at away grounds
Absolutely not. Every home game and I never remember him failing.
I know he did it at every home game, I witnessed most and also never saw him fail. However, during our prem days, I am 99.9% certain, that on the odd occasion at an away fixture and when our fans were situated behind a goal, he would do this when bringing the squad out for the pre match warm up.
The memory may be playing tricks, but isn’t he captured on film doing it when the ‘Big Match’ and Brian Moore covered Charlton v Burnley in the early 70s ? He went on to score in that game. I think it featured in one of the club’s 70s videos
I remember it well, he used to squeeze between Floyd and Harvey, the then mascots, and gyrate in what Keith used to refer as a ‘sex-sandwich’ before turning to the Covered End, putting his fag out and bowing.
The reason no one still does it is really a trick question – it is because Floyd and Harvey retired three years ago.
Seems to me there’s potential for the club and the great man or somebody with a bit more time and knowledge than me to get hold of a bit of footage and start a ‘Keith Peacock Challenge’ trend on Twitter or whatever, and throw it out to the footballing world, tagging say the Prostrate charity or any other worthy cause that’s being supported at the moment. Players will try and emulate the feat but the mirth and merriment (ok, derision) when they fail will be a bit of fun.
The Prostrate charity? Keith certainly didn't do it lying down. Folk round our way still talk about Pee-Wee's knee-trembler.

Great idea; they could start from the centre spot and see how far they get - would have to keep the ball up until they reached the edge of the box before firing home.

Some people on here may not remember him doing it as a player but anyone who has been going for the last 15-20 years should remember seeing him do it.

Also never saw him miss.
Always towards the covered end as my memory tells me
