William “Ty” Keough (born December 19, 1956 in St. Louis, Missouri) is a former U.S. soccer player and coach who has served as a soccer broadcaster for several networks. He earned seven caps with the U.S. national team in 1979 and 1980. He was a member of the U.S. Olympic soccer team which qualified for the 1980 Summer Olympics. However, he did not attend the tournament as the U.S. boycotted those games.
Keough is the son of U.S. soccer legend Harry Keough, member of the U.S. team at the 1950 FIFA World Cup. His father later entered coaching and Keough benefited from his father’s instruction, developing into an excellent midfielder. Keough attended St. Louis University High School, graduating in 1975.[1] After graduating from high school, he entered St. Louis University where he played on the men’s soccer team, coached by his father from 1975 to 1978. During his four seasons with the Billikens, Keough was a four-time All American, first team in 1976 and 1978 and honorable mention (third team) in 1975 and 1977.
The San Diego Sockers of the North American Soccer League (NASL) selected Keough in the 1979 draft and he spent four seasons with the Sockers. While still with the Sockers, Keough also played with the St. Louis Steamers in the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) from 1980-1985. In 1985, the Steamers traded him to the Kansas City Comets where he spent a single season before retiring from playing professionally.
