Tony Kellow RIP

Before my time as a City fan, but met him on a couple of occasions. Lovely chap. Very sad news. Rest in Peace

back then when we were playing football as kids, when you had a good chance you'd just say 'kellow!' like a commentator shouting it because it meant you were going to score.

That's it, I am giving up posting, I could never hit the nail so squarely on the head as that, I can hear that shout ringing in me head, "Kellow ! One nil", or more likely, 16-15.

RIP

Tony Kellow played before my time as a City fan so never had the priviledge of seeing the great man in action. I doubt there will be any other player in our history who will be held in such high regard.

Thoughts with his family. Such a sad loss.

Re: tony kellow

My abiding memory of Tony will be the promotion season of 19976/77. The lethal strike force with Alan Beer produced 40 goals. Tony contributing 19 of those league goals. Glorious to watch. From the simple to the sublime and everything in between.

Thanks for those memories. RIP Tony. Condolences to family and friends.

I mirror those thoughts at hearing this very sad news, Tony you were and are an absolute ECFC legend - RIP my friend :'(

rip tony, shocking news.

saw him play a few times in my youth but not really old enough to appreciate how good he was.

for all the progresson the pitch, this season sadly tainted by what has happened today and in august, not to mention several good city fans passing as well.

lets hope weather is kind and saturdays game and rest of season can serve as a fitting tribute to mr kellow.

Tony got me to work on the door in the centre spot when he was the landlord there,i was 16 LOL...i used to get payed a pint of cider every hour with a free pool table to play..Tony served me my first ever pint and gave me my first ever hangover...but most importantly scored the first ever city goal that i had the pleasure to witness.
I am truely lost for words...for our great City has lost another LEGEND...rest in peace Tony Kellow and thankyou for all the memories and goals you scored for our great football club you were undoubtably one of Exeter City's finest..Rest in peace my friend X

Completely shocking news. Unexpected. After the highs of Saturday comes this low of a Monday. As Clement Freud once said: Every silver lining has a cloud.
A true City Hero. RIP Tony and my thoughts and best wishes to your family ...
