Family

Recruited from Maryborough in the Bendigo Football League, Trevor Keogh arrived at Princes Park in 1970 and established himself as one of the most durable and consistent rovers of his generation. Wearing the number 24 guernsey, he was renowned for his neat disposal, evasive skills, and ability to drift forward and hit the scoreboard regularly. While often surrounded by higher-profile teammates, Keogh became the engine of the Carlton midfield, prized for his reliability and resilience. This durability was best illustrated by a remarkable streak of 167 consecutive games played between 1972 and 1979, a club record that stood for over three decades until it was eventually surpassed in the modern era.

Keogh's career coincided with a golden era for the Blues, and he played instrumental roles in the club's 1972 and 1979 premiership victories. His consistency was formally recognised with two Robert Reynolds Trophies as the club's Best and Fairest in 1976 and 1978, seasons where he outperformed a list brimming with superstars. He remained a key senior figure until his retirement in 1981, leaving the game as a dual premiership player and a 200-game veteran. Keogh is remembered not just for his longevity, but as a cunning and classy midfielder who delivered his best when the stakes were highest.
