Very sad to hear this. He was one of those figures who was always about, the bloke with the 'magic sponge' when players picked up knocks.

Pretty sure my dad played cricket against him on a few occasions too.

Very sad news indeed.
RIP Keith, a proper gentleman and a beacon to all who knew him.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends,

Sad, sad news. Deepest condolences to all friends and family.

Definitely a true Wiganer and a fixture around the club for many, many years.

Growing up he lived across the way from us in Whelley. I remember, back in the 80's, being taken round by my Dad and being allowed to play with the Challenge Cup that Keith had brought home for the evening!

Cheers for that Keith! RIP.

RIP - A True Club Legend And a Gentleman

He's been like part of the furniture at Wigan hasn't he. A real sad loss of a bloke that lived for the club.

RIP and thoughts to his family and friends.

Big Shock indeed an ever present through thick and thin at Wigan, sad loss indeed for the whole club

Deepest sympathies go out to the family.

RIP Keith.

R.I.P.

RIP. He did every role imaginable at this club and had one up on most other players in our history in that he is one of only 14 in our history to have played in and won the BBC 2 Floodlit Trophy!

He played prop, which I can't imagine that, but there ya go.

Random story but I remember him Kicking Tee Running at Leeds about ten years back and p*ssing myself laughing every time he ran on because he was wearing proper baggy black shorts that made him look like he was wearing a skirt!

RIP Keith.

The guy was an institution at the club. Some of my earliest memories of watching involve him running on with baggy tracksuit bottoms tucked into his socks with a bucket of sand for the kickers.

RIP Keith

When he did the physio role, i always remember him running on with a little clear plastic bag with water and sponge, looked more like hed won the goldfish at the fair but something that will awalys remember from the days at CP

Long serving people in any organsiation are hard to come by these days and i would hope the club recognise him in some small way.

RIP Keith true gentleman and outstanding servant to the club

RIP Mr Mills.

one of lifes true gentlemen, couldnt do enough for others.

will be sorely missed.

RIP KEITH

R.I.P. Keith. Always a pleasure to talk with when I bumped into him, he worked with my dad years ago and always remembered him. A true stalwart, genuine bloke and gentleman. Will be sadly missed, condolences to his family and close friends.

Keith was a true gentleman. As posted earlier he didn't want to be in the limelight or seek any attention. He was humbled when he won the club man award last year. He didn't think he had done anything to deserve it. A well liked and well respected guy. R.I.P. Keith. You wil be sadly missed.

Rest in peace Keith, what a gentleman, hard worker and all round nice guy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_eyGRcx4cY

RIP Keith, will be missed by many.

What sad news, I have known Keith for many years, he worked with my wife's uncle Denis Wright club physio for many years, also we met with football Latics v Latics a few years ago.
A true gentleman, one of the unsung hero's behind the scenes, he will be sadly missed in the rugby league community.

What sad news, RIP.

Terrible news Keith really was "Mr Wigan Rugby" with all the jobs he did, R.I.P.Keith. Sincere condolences to Ann and family.

Did he used to bring the kicking tee on after tries were scored?
