Stuart O'Keefe

[Sufc.2008]

Just coming on for Crystal Palace now.

Sky Sports 2..

 

[Shrimper]

I think that's only his third appearance for them this season.

 

[RobB11]

Not the best time to come on at 3-0 down, has hardly touched the ball and has been anonymous. Palace have looked woeful against a strong Swansea side it has to be said. Dougie has got a very very difficult job on his hands to keep them up.

 

[maninasuitcase]

Starts against Man U tonight in the league cup quarter final.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Not the first time Stuart's been involved in a squad that's knocked Man Utd out of the Carling Cup... :happy:

 

[Blue-Eyes]

I watched Man Utd V Palace last night and thought I was watching K Maher in a Palace shirt. O'Keefe made tackles and played simple passes just like Kev used to. It doesnt look like he has had many opertunities at Palace but i think would definately fill the place of Timlin/Ferdinand/Grant if we were to lose any of them in January. Why did Tilson think he wasn't good enough for us if Freedman thinks he is good enough to start at Old Trafford?

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Because he was too young and lightweight at the time with us.

We should thank Ronny for us losing O'Keefe

To be fair, Tilly didn't play him, and Sturrock accepted his transfer request

He did get a few games under Tilly, but was always going to be behind the unstoppable midfield pairing of Macca and Christophe .......

Sounds like another regularly mentioned released player by Tilson who went on to play in the Premier League :smile:

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

He was not released, he opted to leave as he wasn't getting paid, like the rest of the squad (apart from 1)

I was also under the impression he was released after Dougie caes sniffing

 

[Firestorm]

There is also thread on the last SUFC Youth product to play against Man U in the CC , whilst on the books of a Championship side. A certain James Lawson

And he played more Championship games than O Keefe and at a younger age,

Burley signed him, although DS was the assistant I believe

 

[dan_mays]

Burley brought him in when Dean Austin was the number 2 i think. Okeefe opted to leave along with christophe, laurent etc.

But again although Steve Tilson true legend looks at the players who have done well for themselves since leaving, the big loss Michael Kightly we did not give him the time or effort to show his true potential, Gary Hooper (although we made a small sum of money), Stuart Okeefe, Femi Oreguna (undisclosed to everton).

James Lawson although he is now playing for Maldon I believe could of been given more time

Has it not been covered in another thread that james lawson is now a full-time electrician? agree with the others though

 

[Firestorm]

Stuart O Keefe and Femi (loan to Notts) have 27 minutes of league football between them this season, hardly ringing endorsements

 

[marky]

okeefe started against crawley wigan middlesboro southampton man utd all wins for palace

 

[Rayleigh boy]

notice the usual sly digs at Tilson - the payer were not getting any money and Tilson still had them turning out every week -

and you would have to be really stupid not to see that one of Tilsons weaknesses was always trying to develop young talent when what was really required was a team of experienced lower league players (and family members) to get the ball forward early and win league 2 with a bunch of hired hands -

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn -

all kudos to Sturrock the pragmatist but I preferred the Essex dream .

as for Freedman he was RMs stooge - and a waste if good money hanging around for the chance to get the mangers job -
