Description

Bellshill, Lanarkshire born centre forward Robert Keyes began his football career with Larkhall Thistle from where he signed for Greenock Morton in 1932 establishing a reputation as a deadly marksman for The Ton with 65 goals in 88 appearances. He signed for Falkirk in January 1935, with the club being relegated at the end of that season; however he scored 30 goals from 25 appearances as The Bairns won the 1935-36 Scottish Division Two title to reclaim their place in the top tier, and then amassed a further 54 goals in 58 matches over the next two seasons as they consolidated their place in The First Division.

Keyes was selected once for the Scottish League XI in 1939 (four days before the War began), scoring one of the goals in a 3-2 win over the Irish League at Windsor Park, Belfast. His career was then curtailed by the outbreak of the Second World War, during which he played in unofficial competitions with Falkirk for 18 months, then for two years with Motherwell before his retirement.
