Keith Hooker is a retired English football midfielder who played in the Football League for Brentford.
Hooker progressed through the Brentford youth team to make his senior debut at age 16 in a 0-0 Division Four draw with Wrexham on 14 January 1967, due to an injury crisis. He impressed enough to go on and make 9 further appearances during the remainder of the 1966/67 season and scored his maiden goal for the club with the only goal of the game versus Notts County on 1 April. Hooker was a first team regular during the 1967/68 season, making 23 appearances and scoring one goal. He made just one appearance during the 1968/69 season and departed the club at the end of the campaign. Hooker made 34 appearances and scored two goals for the Bees.
While with Brentford, Hooker had a loan spell with Essex Olympian League side Manor Athletic.
After his release from Brentford, Hooker moved to South Africa, playing for National Football League sides Durban Spurs and Port Elizabeth City between 1970 and 1972. He played under former teammate Matt Crowe at the latter club.

Hooker (first name and dates unknown) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket in 1795 for Kent. He was a member of the Rochester Cricket Club and played invitation matches until 1807. He made 3 known appearances in first-class matches.
Hooker is first recorded playing for Kent against All-England at Penenden Heath from 31 August to 2 September 1795. Kent batted first and Hooker's 12 helped them to a total of 95 all out. All-England replied with 130 and Hooker was then dismissed for 1 in Kent's second innings of 99. All-England reached 65 for the loss of five wickets for a victory on the third day. Hooker made a pair (i.e., scores of 0 and 0) in his next game on 7 September, an invitation match between Sir Horatio Mann's XI and R Leigh's XI. Hooker then played for the Earl of Darnley's XI in a convincing victory of 242 runs over Sir Horatio Mann's XI the following day, Hooker scoring 15 not out and 7.
In 1800, Hooker played in two minor matches for Rochester Cricket Club against Marylebone Cricket Club. In 1807, he faced All-England once more by playing for a Kent XXII in an "odds" match at Lord's Old Ground, scoring 6 and 3. Kent and England played a return match at Penenden Heath and Hooker, opening the batting, scored 1 and 22 in Kent's 27 run victory. This was Hooker's last recorded cricket match.
In the game of rugby union, there are 15 players on each team, comprising eight forwards (numbered 1–8) and seven backs (numbered 9–15). In addition, there may be up to eight replacement players "on the bench". Jersey numbers 16–23 differentiate them. Players are not restricted to any single position on the field, although they generally specialise in just one or two that suit their skills and body types. Players that specialise in over three positions are called "utility players". The scrum (an assemblage used to restart play), however, must consist of eight players: the "front row" (two props, a loosehead and tighthead, and a hooker), the "second row" (two locks), and a "back row" (two flankers, and a number 8). The players outside the scrum are called "the backs": scrum-half, fly-half, two centres (inside and outside), two wings, and a fullback. Early names, such as "three-quarters" (for the wings and centres) and "outside-halves" (for fly-half) are still used by many in the Northern Hemisphere, while in the Southern Hemisphere the fly-half and inside centre are colloquially called "first five-eighth" and "second five-eighth" respectively, while the scrum-half is known as the "half-back".

Keith (born James Barry Keefer, May 17, 1949 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States) is an American vocalist. He legally changed his name to Bazza Keefer in 1988, in memory of his mother.
Keefer earned his first recording contract with Columbia Records. When Jerry Ross moved across to Mercury Records he took Keefer with him, and the singer soon appeared in the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with his solo single, "Ain't Gonna Lie".
He is best remembered for his hit "98.6"; the recording was issued on the Mercury Records label, and reached #24 in the UK Singles Chart in 1967. It was considerably better received in his homeland – the single reached #7, and remained for 14 weeks in the bestsellers in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It sold over one million copies worldwide, earning a gold disc. The track was written by Tony Powers (lyrics) and George Fischoff (music), arranged by Joe Renzetti, and was produced by Jerry Ross. Its title relates to the normal human body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.

Keith (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Chèith, or Cèith Mhaol Rubha (archaic)) is a small town in the Moray council area in north east Scotland. It has a population of 4,734.
Until 1975 it was in Banffshire, a name which persists in common usage and historical references. Keith has three distinct sections: Old Town, where the original settlement was first established; Keith which is the main commercial centre and Fife Keith which was originally a separate town built in competition by the Earl of Fife but which, having proved less economically vibrant, was eventually joined to form one homogeneous settlement separated now only by the river.
The oldest part of Keith dates to around 1180 where the Old Town still remains, now almost indistinguishable from the rest of the town. It developed around the old bridge which was built there by two mourning parents as a permanent memorial to their dear child who drowned in the river at that crossing point in the hope that none should suffer similar loss. The main part of the town is on higher ground above the river, laid out around 1750 by the Earl of Findlater. It is located at the crossing of the A95 and A96 roads. Local services include a health centre, dentist, optician and multiple hairdressing salons. The town has three schools: Keith Grammar School, Keith Primary School and St Thomas RC Primary School.
