Keith Alexander dies at 53
Macclesfield Town manager Keith Alexander passed away at the age of 53 on Tuesday night. Alexander died shortly after arriving home last night following his side’s League Two defeat at Notts County. Alexander suffered a brain aneurysm when he was Lincoln manager in November 2003. He played football for Grimsby Town and Stockport County. His management career started at Lincoln City with spells at Ilkeston Town and Northwich Victoria.
Macclesfield chairman Mike Rance said,
“I spoke to Keith last night at about 11.15pm after our game at Notts County and he was in good spirits because, although we lost, we had given a team chasing promotion a good game. He went home after the game last night and collapsed. Tragically, he never recovered.”
A club statement reads:
“Keith was a splendid man. He will be sorely missed at the Moss Rose and by everyone involved in football. Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family at this very difficult time.”
