Anyone ever heard of Gerrit Keizer?

Apparently was a goalie for Arsenal in 1931 and Ajax reserves, he used to fly home to Holland after a match for Arsenal and play for Ajax reserves. Didn't play for Arsenal after the 31 season but signed for us apparently? Never heard of him but sounds an interesting chap as he got nabbed after the war for flying over to England with forged banknotes in his goalies bag.

    Yes mate, I remember my dad talking about him. He appears in Colin Cameron's 'Valiant 500' although in the book he's called 'Gerry Peter' Keizer. Played 17 games for us in Div.2 and seems to have been quite an eccentric character. Look him up on Wiki for more details.

    And a film of the book Henry, re-creating the Valley and Highbury of the '30s: that would be interesting.
