Keith Knox (born 6 August 1964 in Stranraer), is a former Scottish football defender currently managing the Stranraer Reserve team.
Knox started his career with his hometown team, before moving to Clyde in 1987. Knox was a part time player, combining his football career with his duties as a postman. This led to him being given the nickname "The Postie". Knox would regularly do his shift as a postman in Stranraer, before travelling to Cumbernauld for Clyde training. This dedication for 10 years made him a firm favourite amongst the Clyde fans. He was the club captain for the latter years, and was awarded a testimonial against Rangers in 1997. Knox also played in the first ever game at Broadwood Stadium in 1994.
After 10 years good service, Knox left Clyde and returned to his first club and hometown team, Stranraer. He stayed there for 4 years, before moving to Alloa Athletic. He had spells at Gretna and Stenhousemuir, before dropping out of the Scottish Football League, to take up a player-manager role at Wigtown & Bladnoch. Knox rejoined Stranraer in July 2007, in the position of Reserve Team manager.
