FORMER Wanderers' boss Mike Keen has died aged 69 after a short illness.

Born and bred High Wycombe man Mike, who managed the club from 1980 to 1984, led the blues to an Isthmian League title and an appearance in the semi-finals of the F.A. Trophy.

He gave a debut to the youngest every Wycombe player - his own son Kevin - who became the when he played against Hendon at the age of 15.

He went on to play for Stoke City and West Ham United, where he now coaches.

During his playing career, Mike captained Q.P.R to their 1967 League Cup triumph and the old Third Division title, going on to play for Watford and Luton.

After hanging up his boots he made a return to his home town to set up a successful sports shop in Wycombe, before later becoming Wanderers manager.

Wanderers head of media Alan Parry told the club's website: “Mike will always have a special place in the history of our great club and although he didn't get down to Adams Park very often, he always followed our results.

“He would have loved to have seen us get promoted this season so let's make sure that we do it for him.”
