Glenn Matthew Keeley (born 1 September 1954 in Barking, London, England), is an English footballer who played as a central defender in the Football League.
Career
Keeley spent the majority of his professional career at Blackburn Rovers, but the most famous moment of his playing career came at Goodison Park during his very brief tenure at Everton in 1982. Keeley had been signed on loan from Blackburn by his former manager Howard Kendall, with the option of a permanent move. He made his Everton debut in the Merseyside Derby. However, just 32 minutes into the game, Keeley fouled Kenny Dalglish by pulling on his shirt, denying him an obvious goalscoring opportunity. His actions resulted in a red card from the referee and Keeley's Everton career was over, barely half an hour after it began.
As of December 2010, Keeley is employed by Bolton Council as a Leisure Officer aiming to get disadvantaged and disabled young adults interested in sports.
He previously worked at Trafford College as a Sports Lecturer and worked with future footballers Chris Eagles, now of Burnley and Newcastle United defender Danny Simpson.
Additional to this, he worked at old club Bolton Wanderers and was key in setting up their Disabled Sports Group.
