Saw him interviewed on SSN last night after they played Notts Co.

He was Lincoln manager when I was at Uni there - provided me with a little happiness in a 2002-03 season which was anything but a picnic at Villa Park, culminating in a trip to Cardiff.

Shocking and terrible news. So sad.

RIP Big Keith.

He was ill with some kind of brain problem 5 or 6 years ago.

Always came across as a really good bloke and a decent football manager. RIP

BBC Football Link

Having followed Hull City for a few years (before they got promoted to the prem) in the lower leagues they had a big rivalry with Alexander's Lincoln and it was quite rare not to dislike the manager in Alexander case it was easy he was a brilliant guy and I have even read him described as a "lower league legend" I think I agree with that.

RIP.

First ever black professional manager wasn't he? When he took over at Lincoln?

 He was always top of my shortlist whenever Tamworth sacked a manager, but he was always a step or two ahead of our level!

Never met him myself, but unlike many managers that have been around the non-league circuit, I have rarely heard a bad word said about him

What a shame.  Was it Alexander who had Big Ron foisted on him for that "Ron Manager" bollocks?

Terrible news.

I met Keith briefly over Christmas and while I can't profess to know him well at all, the news certainly came as a shock.

That's terrible. A few of my friends at uni are Macclesfield fans and so we all went to their game at Notts County last night in the away end. At the end of the game he came over, clapped the fans and seemed in perfect health. Shocking that he died just two hours later.
