How old is he then!

[Wellsie]

I'm sure he'd say he was still 35

[geoff pay]

Born 1970!

[JohnKirby]

I thought it was announcing the signing of me...

[Wellsie]

[Brickie]

Central midfield with a combined age of 78, mmmmmmm

 

Still great to see John back, a little bite added to midfield.

 

Should please Michael anyway!!!

[Broadstairs Dave]

A little bite my foot! more like a BIG bite.

 

just need Dean Standen back now.

[michael]

Pretty pleased with that.

 

He was a shadow of his former self in his last season with us-but according to their reviews-his game picked up again at dover;so i'm sure he'll do a job for us in the ryman.

 

I do like the thought of having a central midfield of Keister,Lawrence and wilson.As others say-thats got a bit of bite at long last and more than one person operating there.

40 is the new 30 -so for one season at least, age is not a problem-Lawrwence seems pretty fit-and think Jk is aswell so pretty happy.

 

(quite a few 'leaders' in the team now )

 

My lasting memory of JK was away at Havant in our last game in conference south when he sat on the pitch alone at end of game- literally crying that we were relegated.

You could really feel he was genuinely hurting .

i think a few of us shared his pain that day.

Welcome back John, that should definately give us something that has been missing. Passion, leadership and a tackle that frightened the fans let alone the opposition.

[michael]

Saturday -interesting cameo ?

 

Margste v Sutton

 

Midfield- Keister v Pouton

[Brickie]

Lasting memory of JK has gotta be that equaliser at Leyton orient, still gotta be one of my favourite away games, great day out!

[geoff pay]

Yep and he scored in the replay.

[Dutch_Mike]

Great to have the legend back. Remember that day very well Michael. As you say, he was heartbroken. You could see how much the club meant to him. Welcome back JK!

[seasidesteve]

great signing now make him captain

[Brickie]

Good call

[Ian_Sanderson]

Was interesting to read kentish football that he realised his games were limited with the players that Dover have,and the Hess had to trim down his budget to get a new midfielder in.

 

But a good signing,Midfield i hope.Might put Ben Lewis nose out of joint a bit.

[Paul H]

Grreat signing. Many of my Dover mates say he is still a quality midfielder. Good stuff.

[freefred]

Ian if we had to chose between Ben Lewis and John Keister I'm sure most margate fans would take Mr Keister

[Andy .]

a great capture for us , John played a big part in Dovers sucess last season , hopefully he can do the same for us , Welcome back John .
