RIP Brian. Thoughts are with the family at this sad time.
I think we all know that without you and the team you put together the club wouldn't be where they are today.

Terribly sad news.

Would always have time for a chat about the club whenever I bumped into him. A true gentleman. Thoughts go out to Tony and his family.

RIP Brian.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Deserves every single plaudit that will come his way after this sad news. He and others at that time saved our club and we can’t ever thank them enough for that. A true Barrow AFC legend

Very Sad news. There would be no club but for him 25 years ago.
Hopefully a well observed minutes silence tonight and future recognition for him.

Really sad news. Thoughts with the family. Big loss to the wider AFC family too.

All the people mentioning his name on the other page for the GMV - a definite Barrow Legend.

RIP Brian

Yes, very sad news this. It makes you dig into the memory banks and recall how he stood up and was counted when we hit the rocks in the late 90's. One of a small number who didn't merely serve the club but saved it. Condolences to all family members.

Sad news. He stepped in and brought us back from the brink of extinction and that paved the way for all the success we’ve had since. RIP and with condolences to family and friends.

One of those people in our history that has taken responsibility in the darkest of moments and held the club together. A true fan though not even a Barrovian.

A big thank you and a very sad loss. Condolences to the Keen family.
