Mike Keen
Mike Keen Date of Birth: Mar 19, 1940 Share "Mike Keen" on FacebookMike had already enjoyed a footballing career which would have been the envy of most professional players before having a second!
Signing on for Q.P.R. in 1959, Mike soon established himself in the side and oversaw, as skipper, the club’s rise from Division Three to Division One as well as picking up the League Cup along the way.
Following ex-manager Alec Stock to Luton in 1969, the cultured midfielder then skippered the Hatters to Division Two and then saw his side narrowly fail to win back to back promotions.
After leaving the Town, Mike had a spell as player and manager at Watford before taking the hot seat at Northampton and Wycombe. After leaving the game Mike ran sports shops in Wycombe and Bicester before his death in 2009.
