Jeff Disney

It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of one our longest serving Vice President's, JEFF DISNEY.

Jeff passed away on Monday at his home and his funeral will take place at 3pm on Friday 17 August at the Methodist Church.

The Disney family provided many players for the club through the generations and many players for Keyworth United FC and part of Keyworth folklore is the story of how an 'All Disney XI' beat the 'Rest of Keyworth' 3 goals to 1 on the Boxing Day of 1910.

Jeff played for us right through the 1950's, following his father Cyril Disney who played in the 1920/30's. Jeff's two sons, Mark and Michael also played for us in the 1970/80's. Mark taking over 100 wickets.

Jeff was a key figure in writing the original History of the Club, on behalf of the Keyworth & District Local History Society.

On and off the field, his genial personality will be fondly remembered by many past and present members and we extend our deepest sympathies to Di, Mark, Michael and the Disney family.

His contribution to Keyworth Cricket Club will not be forgotten.
