Description
Keith Edwards was an English footballer.
Edwards actually started his early career as a youth player with Leyton Orient in London, as his father was an Orient supporter. He became homesick and joined Sheffield United.
A prolific goalscorer, he had two spells at Sheffield United for whom he scored 171 goals in 293 appearances. Whilst with the Blades, he was the highest scoring player in a division twice, scoring 36 goals in Division 4 in 1981?82 and 33 goals in Division 3 in 1983?84. The latter haul earned Edwards his second Adidas Golden Boot award.
His debut for United came in a FA Cup Third Round Tie against Leicester City on 3 January 1976 and his League debut came on 28 February 1976 in a Division 1 game against Queens Park Rangers. However, his first goal didn't arrive until the next season in Division 2 against Wolverhampton Wanderers on 24 August 1976.
In between his time at Bramall Lane he played for Hull City who paid �50,000 for Edwards in 1978. Ian Porterfield bought him back for �100,000 and played him for the first time against Scunthorpe United on 26 September 1981, the 1?0 home victory being the first of a 17-game unbeaten run.
