Playing career

Southampton

Lawrie McMenemy signed Cassells for the Saints from Oxford United in March 1982, at the same time as Mark Wright. He scored his first goals for the club with two in a 5–5 thriller against Coventry City at the Dell on 4 May 1982. He was never able to establish himself as a first-team regular and moved on to Brentford in February 1983.

Brentford and Mansfield

Whilst playing for Brentford it was rumoured that Keith once hit the floodlights with a shot at goal. His final professional club was Mansfield Town, with whom he won the 1987 Football League Trophy Final.^[1]

Career after football

He eventually married and had two children, including a daughter Emma.^{[citation needed]}
