Keith Compton - Sad Loss Of Derbyshires Mr Football

Derbyshire FA
Keith Compton has passed away aged 81.

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Keith Compton FA Life Vice-President, DCFA Life Member and former Chief Executive Officer & Director.

After a difficult year with his health Keith passed away on the early evening of Tuesday 18th December. Our thoughts are with those that he held dear to his heart and the football community that knew him and worked with him for over 60 years.

Keith had been involved in football for many years through his involvement as a volunteer with the Alfreton & District Sunday League and in 1988 became the DCFA Association Secretary and representative to FA Council whereby he served until 2010 and was appointed an FA Life Vice-president.
