Was he alive when we last won something? He was indeed! From Wikipedia:

Richard John Keogh (born August 11, 1986 in Harlow) is an Irish footballerdefender who plays for Football League Championship side Coventry City.

Club career 
Bristol City
Having been a schoolboy in Ipswich Town's academy and a ballboy at Portman Road, Keogh moved on to the Stoke City youth set-up but was released and joined up with Bristol City before the start of the 2005/2006 campaign. He also rejected a move to Burnley. In his first season, Brian Tinnion, who had signed Keogh, left the club. He was replaced by Gary Johnson who loaned him to Wycombe Wanderers. He then began to establish himself in city's first team plans and scored against Walsall. He began the 2006-2007 season with the same form as the previous season, and replaced Bradley Orr after his red card against Northampton Town and later imprisonment. He scored his second City goal against Gillingham. He later captained the Republic Of Ireland Under 21's in October 2006 and was voted Bristol City's "Young Player of the Year" for the 2006-07 season.

Huddersfield Town

On August 31, 2007, he joined Huddersfield Town on loan and made his debut on 1 September 2007 against Millwall. On September 15, he scored his first goal for Huddersfield in a 3-2 defeat at home to Cheltenham Town at the Galpharm Stadium. He returned to Bristol City on 29 October following Huddersfield's decision not to extend his loan.

Carlisle United

On November 19, 2007 he joined Carlisle United on loan. The loan lasted until January 1, 2008, with a recall option after 28 days of the loan period. On January 4, 2008 he returned to Bristol City after negotiations to extend / make permanent his loan collapsed.

Cheltenham Town

On March 10, 2008, he joined League One side Cheltenham Town on loan and made his debut in their 2-1 win over Leeds United at Elland Road the following day.

Carlisle United

On August 20, 2008 Keogh returned to Carlisle United on a permanent transfer from Bristol City for an undisclosed sum. Keogh became somewhat of a cult hero at Brunton Park, with one group of supporters carrying a giant 'In Keogh We Trust' banner across the country in support of Carlisle United.

Coventry City

Keogh signed a three–year deal with Coventry City on 29 June 2010 becoming the fourth close season signing for new manager Aidy Boothroyd. He officially transferred to Coventry on 1 July 2010 after his contract with Carlisle United had expired, because Keogh was under the age of 24 compensation was to be paid for the transfer, however, this was to remain undisclosed.

    And does he look daft in the flowered-collared kit? But of course...


    And finally is there a really really scary picture of him being signed by Ray Ranson?  You might very well think that...
