Keith Robert Newton (23 June 1941 - 15 June 1998) was an English international footballer who played as a defender in The Football League in the 1960s and 1970s.

Newton was born in Manchester. He started his career with Blackburn Rovers, first playing a League game for them in the 1960-61 season and he went on to play over 300 League games for them.

He transferred to Everton in December 1969 and made 12 appearances for them in the latter half of the 1969-70 season, in which Everton won the Football League First Division.

Newton moved to Burnley for the 1972-73 season, making his league debut on 12 August 1972 against Carlisle United. He made a total of 209 league appearances for Burnley, his last coming in the 1977-78 season.

Newton won his first cap for England in February 1966. He played 27 times for England until 1970 including three matches at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico.

He died at the age of 56 after a long battle with lung cancer.

Ruth Gledhill (born 1959) is an English journalist and the longstanding religion correspondent for The Times.

Gledhill grew up in Gratwich, Staffordshire, a small village near Uttoxeter, as the daughter of the local vicar. She is married to Alan Franks, a Times feature writer. They have one son, Arthur.

Gledhill began her career in Uttoxeter with the Uttoxeter Advertiser and then moved to the Birmingham Post and Mail before joining the Daily Mail in 1984 and The Times in 1987; she became religion correspondent in 1989.

She co-authored (with Tim Webb) a guide to Birmingham entitled Birmingham is not a Boring City. She also edited The Times Book of Prayers and The Times Book of Best Sermons, published for six years in connection with The Times Preacher of the Year Award.

Gledhill has argued in favour of the "benefits of schism" within the Anglican Communion, taking a critical stance against Peter Akinola and other church leaders with conservative views on homosexuality.

Gledhill writes features, news stories and a weblog for The Times.
