Football career
McKeer was born in Farnham, Surrey and initially joined Southampton as an amateur in 1904, without making any first-team appearances. He later joined the Royal Army Medical Corps based at Aldershot and played football for them in the Hampshire League.[1]
In April 1910, he left the army and signed as a professional for Southampton, making his first-team debut playing at inside-left in the final match of the 1909–10 season, a 3–1 victory over already-relegated Reading.[2] McKeer made three further appearances in the following season, one at inside-left and two at left-half (as replacement for Bert Trueman), all three of which ended in defeats.[3]
McKeer was released in the 1911 close season.[1]
