Not bad that.
Im sure for all older fans who saw him play is a very sad day , i find it difficult to feel the same as i did with Stans , different era and the like.
and i mean that with no disrespect in the slightest.
No disrespect Credy, quite understandable. I'm also one of the lucky old 'uns to have had both Tony and Adam in my life ...

He said that that Pen was one of his favourite ever goals... good connection and all that. I'm trying to find highlights of the first leg at Filbert street becasue the turn and pass to Pullar are something else.

Just read all of the tributes, and had to wipe a tear off of my cheek, such a sad loss.
I found this on the net and it shows the side of Kells away from the football pitch that many would have known, it shows a warm and friendly Tony Kellow a very special chap. RIP Tony

Very sad news, and far too young.
In 1981 he was named in the old Rothman's Yearbook, one of only six players or teams in the country to receive the award every year. I don't have the book to hand, I can't recall the others, but he was probably in good company - Liverpool usually won it back then! So that is a measure of his achievement, getting national recognition.
For those who never got to see him, one way to imagine his impact is that when Kellow was playing, and City got a penalty, you never bothered biting your nails. The players didn't stand nervously on the edge of the area waiting for a rebound, they just had a breather or sauntered back to the halfway line. Because ... it was Kellow, so it was already a goal. He was as sure a bet as anything in football can be.
I saw him score at Home Park too. Against us! Don't think he celebrated though.
Thanks for all the great memories, Tony.

Thats such a brilliant video Albert. I'm so glad we eventually found him again, albeit for such a heartbreakingly short time.
