Keith MacRae

[Franny Lee's Barrel Chest]

Does anyone remember seeing Keith MacRae play in goal for City? He arrived at a time when Joe Corrigan was having a rough time of it. He played the most part of a season in the early 70s before Corrigan returned to form and never really looked back. Despite that MacRae, whatever you might have said about him, remained loyal to the Blues and stayed for about 6 years. That's almost unheard of now.

I wonder what he's doing now.

I certainly remember him. Corrigan went through a nightmare phase and he was brought in to provide some cover.

There was an article 3 years ago in The Times about the League Cup winning team and where they are now.

Macrae has lost touch with the club but was believed to be living in the USA.

Was he not known as Kipper.

I remember we paid £100,000 for him from Motherwell (I think). It was a record sum for a goalkeeper at the time.

Useless info time.

He made his debut at Sheff Utd after the team had a bump in the coach and Big Joe wasn't fit to play. He was then fined for wearing black shorts and socks which didn't match our first strip.

(I may have mixed three separate incidents up there but I don't think so.)

He was a bit before my time but remember older lads at school having arguments about who as worse — Keith McRae or the rag's hapless Irish keeper Paddy Roche
