Patrick Sebastian Keogh (born 7 May 1976 in Glasgow) is a Scottish football player, whose most recent club was Scottish Third Division side Forfar Athletic.
Career
[edit]Keogh originally played Junior football for Maryhill, and moved to Clyde with a batch of other Junior players in 1998.[1] This move was successful; Clyde gained promotion to the Scottish First Division.
He was most successfully deployed as a forward at Clyde, where he scored some spectacular goals. Keogh spent six years at Broadwood and became a fan favourite. He scored a hat-trick in his last game for the club, in a 5–2 win against Brechin City.[1]
After signing for Hamilton Academical (where he linked up with the management team who signed him for Clyde, Allan Maitland and Ronnie MacDonald)[1] and then Partick Thistle, he made his way to Stranraer where he was named captain for the 2007-08 season.
After playing in only a handful of games for Stranraer, Keogh signed for Scottish Third Division side Forfar Athletic in June 2008,[2] but after his appearances were limited by injuries he was released by the club in February 2009.[3] Beith Juniors signed Keogh later that month,[4] but injuries prevented him from ever playing for the club.[5]
Coaching
[edit]After retirement, Keogh returned to Broadwood as a youth team coach in 2013.[6][7]
He eventually returned to Maryhill Juniors as well, this time as a first team coach.[8]
Personal life
[edit]Keogh grew up in the Maryhill area of Glasgow.[9]
His grandfather Basil Keogh also played for Clyde in the 1950's, while the club played at Shawfield.[7]
