Keogh was at it again, last night, as he helped his Derby County team advance to the third round.
County looked set for a 1-0 win when Michael Jones got a 95th minute equaliser for Carlisle United. Extra time could not separate the sides so the game went to penalties - 32 of them, to be precise.
County had only selected five penalty-takers for the shootout but Keogh, their trusty centre-half, was No.5. With his team trailing 4-3, Keogh needed to score to send the shootout to sudden death. He tucked one into the bottom left-hand corner, no bother.
On and on it went. Scott Carson, the Derby goalkeeper, saved two attempts and scored when his number was up.
At 13-12 down, Keogh was handed the ball again. Up he glid, stroking the ball home to the identical spot in that left-hand corner.
Carlisle cracked as Joe McKee had his penalty saved. Timi Max Elsnik stepped up and made it 14-13 and end the joint record longest penalty shootout in English football history.
If Martin O'Neill needs a penalty-taker for Ireland's upcoming World Cup Qualifiers, and beyond, he could do a lot worse than ask Keogh. When O'Neill spoke about Ireland's worst penalty takers, he could not have meant this stone-cold killer:
