Keith Dublin (born 29 January 1966 in High Wycombe) is an English former footballer who played at left-back for Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion, Watford, Southend United and Colchester United in the Football League.[1]

Dublin began his career with Chelsea, one of the first black footballers to play for the club. Despite being voted Chelsea's young player of the year in 1983,[2] he struggled to hold down a place in the first team and when left-sided players Tony Dorigo and Clive Wilson were signed in 1987, he was sold to Brighton & Hove Albion for £35,000.[3]

He was a member of the Brighton side which won promotion to the old Second Division, before enjoying spells with Watford, Southend United,[4] Colchester United, and in non-league football with Farnborough Town[5] and Carshalton Athletic.[6][7][8]
