What about Keith Harris. We could have Orvil on the wing too!

Flying down the wing

Had the knack of scoring goals whatever the level, never really got a chance at the top level because scoring was all he did, outside of the penalty area he was a passenger.

Apart from that half volley at Port Vale

And he knocked himself out in collision with the post - a brave goal.

Got kicked in the head by their centre back , but still a brave header that got us promoted.
Lively old day that at Burnden

Would have scored more if he’d been our regular penalty taker and he was also a corner taker. Brilliant at free kicks too as anyone who saw him score against Gillingham and Rotherham among others would know.

The goal against Bristol Rovers at The Lane in the 84 promotion season when he dummied the through ball , he went one way , the ball the other & the keeper left stranded & slotted it in from the angle of penalty area .
A near replica of the Brazil player in the 1970 WC but his went wide .
Still one of the best goals I’ve seen at The Lane in my time

I had that shirt. Wore it most days on a fortnight holiday to Rhodes in 1985. Smelled absolutely rancid by day 7.

Sir Keith my favourite player , great memories …… first watched him come through Central league team with Kenworthy and Stainrod

 

[Kenilworth]

I’ve had the pleasure of his company when I won a forum compo to see the Blades on the South Stand. Great to reminisce with him.

Outstanding finisher in his day.

I have a bit of a reason for starting this post. Keith still works part time and I’m lucky enough to work along side him. For those who have known him over the years will probably agree he’s very forthright and full of self confidence. This was one of the reasons he was the footballer he was.
I don’t want to say too much but I think he has recently lost a bit of his spark and I think a bit of proper recognition would give him a lift.
He constantly states he hates football today but he could tell you about every goal he ever scored from the good old days and despite what division we were in or how many attended they were definitely the good old days.

Oh yeh , that's right , I didn't have the best view , and memories fade - but that was an interesting day-out on the terraces
