Delroy Alexander spoke today of the overwhelming response and support his family has received following the death of his brother.

To many of you, Keith was a legend, a larger than life personality that represented football in the best of ways. To us he was family and simply a fantastic brother.

For as long as I can remember, Keith has been an inspirational figure in my life. Not just because he was the kind of brother that would always look out for me, always get me tickets to games and always borrow me cash if I needed it. He exemplified so much that I strive to be, his wit and charm, affable approach to life and confident demeanour underpinning a sensitive and thoughtful man.

Frankly, we have been overwhelmed by the volume of support, condolences and appreciation of his talents from fans, friends and colleagues. So many of you have shared vivid memories with us, his indelible smile etched deep into your sub-conscious.

From all of the Alexander family, we thank you. Thank you for your best wishes and caring, your support in these difficult times and your constant reminders of what a remarkable person Keith was. We want to assure you that his memory continues to guide us and it is fitting that we are joined in celebration of Keith's life this Saturday - Match Day -that day of the week he joyously spent a lifetime planning for and looking forward to.

As he watches over us with a wry smile, I am sure he would have been heartened and buoyed by the huge outpouring. On the very morning of his passing, myself and my sister Nova were due to sign an agreement that would have seen Keith's talents aired on a broader canvas.

We were scheduled to conclude an agreement with the St. Lucia Football Association to see the Sacred Sports Foundation he was instrumental in founding agree to run youth development programs for the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia. A former St. Lucia national team player, his programmes catering to as many as 1,200 talented and disadvantage youth. Keith designed a comprehensive football development programme, which as part of his lasting legacy will have a tremendous impact on a new generation.

As the chairman of the Foundation and his youngest brother, I am proud to say Keith's legacy lives on with us and with you.

Again, thank you all from the Alexander family, we salute you!

Delroy Alexander

Brother and Chairman, Sacred Sports Foundation
