Life and career
A product of the Scottish Highland Football League, Keith began his professional football career with Scottish Highland League Football Club, Fraserburgh FC, before winning a £35,000 move to Dundee United in 1995, after 5 years at The Broch. Keith only managed four substitute appearances in two years at Tannadice and moved to Falkirk in 1997 for £40,000, where he scored twenty-eight league goals in seventy-one appearances. Keith's form won him a move to up-and-coming Livingston, who had just been promoted to the Scottish First Division but he played just twenty-one league games, scoring seven times. After two years with Livi, Keith moved south to English side Plymouth Argyle and began a spell which would see him make over 100 appearances. Four years and thirty league goals later, Keith joined Colchester United and played in the remaining twelve games of the 2004-05 season. He scored in only his second game at Peterborough and added three more goals as Colchester finished the season undefeated in the same 12 matches. Picking up an achilles injury in pre-season 2005, Keith had been out of the game after suffering several setbacks in his rehabilitation. Colchester stood by the player but Keith announced his retirement from full-time football on 8 March 2007. In the summer of 2007, Keith moved back to Scotland to play part-time for hometown club Peterhead. He is an alumnus of Mintlaw Academy. He is known as Dan after Dan Marino.
