Timeline
Keith Ball (26 October 1940 – 5 July 2023) was an English footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He made 145 league and cup appearances for Port Vale and enjoyed three spells with Walsall.
He also played non-League football for Worcester City, Stourport, Darlaston, Nuneaton Borough, and Kidderminster Harriers.
Keith Ball was born on 26 October 1940 in Walsall.
He attended football games at Walsall's Fellows Park as a boy and played as an outside-left for his youth club.
He was signed by Walsall in 1955 after being scouted by Peter McSevitch.
He was a squad player as Walsall won back-to-back promotions in 1959–60 and 1960–61, and was an ever-present for Port Vale as they won promotion out of the Fourth Division in 1968–69.
Ball made his first-team debut for Walsall on 17 March 1959, deputising for John Savage, as the "Saddlers" posted a sixth-place finish in the Fourth Division in 1958–59.
Bill Moore's side then went on to win the divisional title in 1959–60, before winning a second-successive promotion with a second-place finish in the Third Division in 1960–61.
Walsall settled in the Second Division with a 14th-place finish in 1961–62.
Having only featured in 11 league games, Ball was allowed to join Southern League side Worcester City as Walsall had a new understudy in Alan Boswell.
City finished one point above the relegation zone in the 1962–63 campaign, before rising to 13th place in 1963–64 and then third place in 1964–65, before dropping to eighth position in 1965–66.
Ball returned to Walsall for a fee of £1,500, now managed by Ray Shaw, to play 34 Third Division games in the 1966–67 and 1967–68 campaigns.
He was primarily an understudy to Terry Carling, before playing ahead of the experienced Bob Wesson after Carling moved on to Chester City and before Wesson won a first-team place.
Ball was bought by Gordon Lee's Port Vale in November 1968 for 'a small fee', to replace the injured Stuart Sharratt.
He was immediately the first-choice keeper for the "Valiants" after being preferred ahead of Milija Aleksic.
Ball played 38 matches in the 1968–69 season and played all 52 matches in the 1969–70 Fourth Division promotion winning campaign.
He made 30 appearances in the 1970–71 season and 35 appearances in the 1971–72 season, as Sharratt battled to win back his first team place.
Ball was given a free transfer in May 1972, as experienced Bolton Wanderers stopper Alan Boswell was signed to take over goalkeeping duties at Vale Park.
He moved on to Stourport before making another return to Walsall.
He played two Third Division games under the stewardship of John Smith in the 1972–73 season, a campaign in which Walsall used seven different goalkeepers, before moving into non-League football with Darlaston, Nuneaton Borough and Kidderminster Harriers.
Ball died in July 2023, at the age of 82.
