Took him about 3 years to take over from Fatty Lawrence as fist choice. That was usually the way with young players at top teams. Was surprised when Iron midfielder Keegan went straight into the Liverpool team as a striker.
Injuries and a great pre season tour of Scandinavia opened the door for Keegan, he grabbed the opportunity with both hands and could not be dropped. I always knew that Clemence would make it, I was surprised at Keegan’s meteoric rise. He worked hard.
