Maybe not many people on the list know will remember Andrew Keogh. He was
only occasionally on the list 
and never posted. However he was a lifelong Leeds supporter. Back in the
days of yore (otherwise known as 
the 60's and start of the Glory Years) Andrew, Tim Greenwood (who is on the
list) and I as youthful 
teenagers all lived in Harrogate and apart from common political interests
we shared a passion for Leeds 
and regularly made that pilgrimage together to Elland Road. Though we have
gone our various ways, Tim in 
the states for the last 30 years, Andrew in London and me all over the place
the passion for Leeds has never 
died. Andrew has brought up both his boys to support Leeds.

Andrew sadly died a week last Saturday. His GP had referred him to hospital
in March when he couldn't work 
out what was causing Andrew's back problems. The hospital diagnosed lung
cancer which had spread to a 
secondary cancer in the bones. After radiotherapy he was sent home but was
soon back in hospital, then to 
a care home but had to go to (another) hospital. During this period I had
managed to get over a see him a 
few times. Then a week last Thursday he was moved to a hospice so I arranged
to come over and see him 
again but he died on the Saturday. I am now over for the funeral tomorrow.
Maybe not everyone but several 
of us there will be wearing Leeds United scarves.

Andrew,you will be missed. May you take a bit of Leeds and Gods Own County
with you.

Marching on together
Guy
