Nolan Keeley (born 24 May 1951) is a former English footballer who scored 40 goals from 311 appearances in the Football League playing for Scunthorpe United and Lincoln City. He played in midfield.[2]
Keeley was born in East Barsham, Norfolk.[1] He played non-league football for Great Yarmouth Town before joining Scunthorpe United late in the 1972–73 season, as the club were relegated to the Football League Fourth Division. He became a regular member of the starting eleven over six years, eventually making 259 appearances in the league,[3] before moving on to fellow Fourth Division club Lincoln City in January 1980. He contributed to the club's second-place finish and consequent promotion to the Third Division in 1980–81, but did not play at the higher level,[1] and returned to non-league with King's Lynn.[4]
He later spent six years on the coaching staff of Cambridge United.[5]
