Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

At my time of life (70+) it makes me want to live every minute to the full.
As my Old Man used to say "Your a long time dead".
Keith will be remembered with joy by everyone who came who came in contact with him.
A great way to be remembered.
RIP.

A genuine stalwart of the club, one of the true links with our illustrious past, Wigan Rugby through and through, always smiling in the Lotto office, the true meaning of the word "gentleman",
Many condolances to his family
R.I.P Keith

It would be good if a "there's only one Keith Mills" was sang by Wigan fans at Hull and the DW.

An angling friend of mine lived next door to Millsy for some years. Anyhow, he could receive SKY etc from Mills TV. On one occasion he was watching a game and Keith turned SKY off / over. His neighbour rang up and said Keith I was watching that turn it back on. Millsy laughed and turned SKY back on for him.

An absolute gentleman. I had the great pleasure of working with Keith on the Wigan Colleges' Tour to Australia in 1988 and on many other occasions at Central Park. He will be sorely missed and my condolences go to his family

Posted that on the Brigantes page on Facebook, I'm sure they will :)

keith was one of the most decent blokes I have ever met, he was great with my two kids from the day they were born. He gave each of them £1.00 when he first saw them after they were born saying me mam would never forgive me if I didnt do it , my two boys thought he was great.
He was a true gent who will be greatly missed , we all have our memories of him and the things he did for many of us, I hope the club has a lasting memorial of him in some way - a true club man
RIP Keith
I am still trying to catch the big one at the coffin lodge for you - its got your name on it when I do sleep tight mate
