Whatever Happened To... Joe Keith
Joe Keith spent six seasons with Colchester United, and since being released by Phil Parkinson in the summer of 2005, has spent most of his career in or around East London.
He joined Leyton Orient straight after leaving the U's and spent a season and a half at Brisbane Road, making 60 appearances and scoring three goals. During this time he also spent a month on loan at Shrewsbury Town, making just two appearances.
In January 2007 he moved to Brentford, being signed by ex-U's teammate Scott Fitzgerald. His spell at Griffin Park was brief and he left in the summer having made 18 appearances, scoring two goals.
After being released by Brentford, he dropped into non-league football, joining AFC Hornchurch. A year later he joined Tilbury where he was an Isthmian League Cup winner in his first season and took on a role as player-coach in his second season. After two-years with the Dockers he made the move to East Thurrock United where he linked up with former West Ham United teammate Lee Hodges.
In November 2011 he left East Thurrock to join to Aveley, again following Hodges, who was appointed their manager. His time at Aveley was short-lived and he returned to East Thurrock before the end of the season.
Clubs since leaving the U's: Leyton Orient, Shrewsbury Town (loan), Brentford, AFC Hornchurch, Tilbury, East Thurrock United, Aveley.

What to read next:
The usual Thursday night fill of completely adult and serious punditry of Southampton FC and the wider world sees Adam ,Graham and Steve dissecting Southampton's surprise (for us) win at The London Stadium. But that is not all, a look forward to a match day tour and hospitality at this Saturday's last home game for three weeks (against Queens Park Rangers).
A quick look at some of the action from our previous encounters with QPR, were you at any of the games and what are you memories, post them in the comments section below.
Reports on the continent are saying that there is plenty of interest from club's in Germany & Austria in Tonda Eckert, so it is not surprising that they are also claiming that the club is keen to get him to sign a new deal.
When Saints were handed a 4 point deduction for this season in the aftermath of Spygate, many believed that this would spell the end of any hope of automatic promotion this season, however this might well turn out not to be the case.
Saints went out and made a statement by beating the Hammers, however although this was a battling performance, it was a great one, but it was all about the result, not the way in which it was achieved.
Away games are out of reach for Adam at the moment (but in the pipeline) and if we had been given a home match for Saturday 24th October 2026, he may not have attended the event he created.
If you saw the match, please give us your player ratings and a mini match report.
In Friday's press conference Tonda Eckert admitted that Cyle Larin & Flynn Downes are both doubts for the starting line up, but he also suggested that they could play some part in the game.
The Hammers start the weekend in 2nd position in the Championship and for many people are favourites for promotion, but Saints have a good record against teams in the top echelons of the division and can go there with confidence.
It seems that Saints have been making a few enquiries about a new striker, presumably to replace Divin Mubama who has not really impressed Saints fans so far in his loan spell at the club.
