We are saddened to report that former manager Keith Alexander has died at the age of 53.

Keith, who had two spells in charge of the Imps having represented City towards the end of his playing career, passed away today after arriving home from Macclesfield Town's game at Notts County last night.

"Over and above being the absolute professional in everything he did, Keith was one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet," said chairman Steff Wright.

"It goes without saying that our thoughts are with Helen and the family at this extremely difficult time."
