Bobby D Keetch (25 October 1941 - 29 June 1996) was a footballer with West Ham, Fulham and QPR.

Bobby was an excellent centre-half. After a brief career at West Ham United, he joined Fulham in 1959 and played for Fulham between 1961-1966, making 106 first team appearances, scoring 2 goals. He signed for QPR in 1966 from Fulham. Bobby played 52 league games for QPR before joining Durban City in 1969. After three seasons in Durban, he retired in 1971. Keetch was quite a man-about-town and an entrepreneur in business. He died aged 54, on June 29th 1996, after suffering a stroke.[1] Fulham FC were desperately short of money in 1996 and in the lowest league. Jimmy Hill said that the club had so little money that they could not afford a wreath at Keetch's funeral. But somehow they managed it.
