Football

[edit]

Recruited in 1912, by Richmond, from the Leopold Football Club in the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA)[broken anchor], where he had played for two seasons (1910 and 1911), and played in its 1911 premiership team, Keggin, at 6ft.2in. and 13 stone, was a strong mark and a long kick, who played in the forward-pocket and in the ruck.[2]

He was Richmond's leading goal-kicker in the 1912 VFL season, when he appeared in all 18 rounds and kicked 24 goals.[3][4] He kicked 27 goals in both 1913 and 1914, finishing second in the goal-kicking to Percy Martyn and Clarrie Hall respectively.[4] After not featuring in the 1915 and 1916 seasons due to his naval duties during World War I,[5] Keggin returned in 1917 and played seven games.[4]

He was still actively playing football in 1925, as the captain of the Naval Depot team that competed in the Peninsula Football Association.[6]
