Autographs of Keith Houchen
Keith Morton Houchen (born 25 July 1960) is an English former professional footballer and football manager. A forward, he scored 184 goals in 687 league and cup games.
He started his professional career at Hartlepool United in February 1978, after failing to win a contract at Chesterfield. He was coached by Billy Horner to become a strong centre-forward, using his natural strength and power to retain possession in attacking positions. Financial difficulties forced the club to sell him to Leyton Orient for £25,000 in March 1982. After failing to impress in his two years in London, he was moved to York City for £15,000 in March 1984. He played seven games in the club's Fourth Division title-winning season in 1983–84 before transferring to Scunthorpe United for £40,000 in March 1986. He did not settle at the club, but in the summer, he was fortunate enough to win a £60,000 move up through three tiers to First Division side Coventry City.
Though never a prolific player for the "Sky Blues", he scored a spectacular headed goal in the 1987 FA Cup final at Wembley, which earned him Match of the Day's Goal of the Season award. He featured in the 1987 FA Charity Shield, but he faded from the first-team picture at Highfield Road. In March 1989, he joined Scottish Premier Division side Hibernian for a fee of £325,000. He returned to England in August 1991 when he was sold to Port Vale for £100,000. After falling out with manager John Rudge, he returned to Hartlepool on a free transfer in June 1993. He was appointed as player-manager in April 1995 but endured a tough time at Victoria Park and left the club in November 1996. He later coached at the Middlesbrough Academy and entered the property market.
