About Keith

Veteran defender who joined the club from league football.

Had previous playing experience with Reading and Brighton before dropping into non-league football. One of a number of Rebels players with links to Reading and was part of the Reading side which was nearly shocked by Slough in the FA Cup match in the early nineties.

Played alongside by Steve Daly and Steve Stott during his time at Slough and also chipped in with a number of vital goals over his two seasons with the club. Netted eight times in his seventy five appearances.

Only 5 ft 11in, but McPherson made up for his lack of height with athleticism and was good in the air. McPherson was signed for Northampton Town from West Ham United, where he started as an apprentice, for £15,000 in January 1986. He made 216 appearances for the Cobblers before leaving in August 1990, to join first division side Reading where he played for nine years. He ended his career at Brighton & Hove Albion and was player with Slough Town before returning to Reading as a coach.
