Born in Tychy, Poland and a schoolboy international he came to Britain with the Polish forces during the Second World War where he was spotted and signed by Glasgow Celtic whilst playing for Forres Mechanics. His two seasons at Glasgow Celtic (47/48-48/49) were unsuccessful, playing just 7 first team games, so he moved south and joined Rochdale in May 1949 but once again he failed to establish himself playing just 4 games in his one season at Spotland. After brief spells at Morecambe and Congleton he joined Altrincham for the start of the 1951/52 season and for the next 6 seasons was a near ever present playing over 250 games predominantly on the left wing. He joined Stalybridge Celtic for the 57/58 season and subsequently Mossley for the 58/59 season. (d.Rochdale 23rd October 1991) |

Kevan
Keelan was born in Manchester on 22nd June 1953. He played his early football
with Radcliffe Borough, Northwich Victoria, Buxton, Stalybridge Celtic and
Newcastle (Australia). He signed for Mossley on his return from 'down under'
in September 1979 for a £375 fee as replacement for Eamonn O'Keefe.
Keelan enjoyed a superb first season with the Lilywhites and scored the
two all important second half goals that saw Mossley win at Boston United
in the 2nd leg of the 1980 FA Trophy semi final. His 16 goals helped Mossley
to a second successive Northern Premier League title. Keelan was transferred
to Macclesfield Town in the summer of 1981 for a £1,000 fee after
making 86 appearances scoring 27 goals for Mossley.
In March 1990 and at the end of an illustrious career Keelan returned to
Mossley for a short spell under Mark Hilton and made a further 7 appearances
scoring 2 goals before going to Rossendale United as manager at the end
of the season. Later spells as team boss at Stalybridge Celtic and Ashton
United followed and in the summer of 1995 following Mossley's relegation
to the North West Counties League Keelan was approached to work alongside
Paul Cuddy. That didn't work out but it was Cuddy who moved on and Keelan's
rebuilt team had a reasonable first season. They finished 4th in the NWCL
and reached the final of the Floodlit Trophy. The following season Keelan's
team reached the quarter finals of the FA Vase finally going down to eventual
winners Whitby Town. By the end of the season with Keelan's interest visibly
waning he resigned. He then returned to management for a second time with
Stalybridge Celtic and had a short spell as assistant manager at Leigh RMI.
Kevan Keelan is not currently involved in football. |
