    Holy **** man!

    Gotta say I didn't know much of his heyday, but as I was growing up he was a bit of a cult hero if only for belting appearances on Extras and Nevermind the Buzzcocks. Seemed a genuinely nice fella but abit hopeless so became the nickname for my bestie. Had a fascination ever since.

    Think we should all change our display pics to Keith quite frankly.

    Rip King Keith!

    Cheggers Plays Pop was one of the first things I can remember watching on TV as kid. Seemed like a genuinely nice bloke. RIP.

    Anyone who grew up in the 70s will know him from Swap Shop, where he was great.

    I'm still disturbed by the time he got his tiny pecker out live on TV.

    He was good on Extras.

    And no Captain Chaos to shoot it down. His boxing match was at the weekend was it not? Hopefully he doesn't need a RIP thread of his own.

    Apparently he was willing to swap a kidney for a pair of lungs but noone took him up on it.
