Jeremy Keith
I am no expert in these matters but I have the following thoughts. Mr Keith is no longer high profile nor has he been since his conviction. The events took place in the UK and were tried in English courts and he is a British subject. Therefore the entire jurisdiction of the matter is centred in the UK where the UK rule of law applies. I have no direct knowledge of the motivation for the page being created but the fact that it was not created by Mr Keith and included predominantly matters surrounding Derby and the trial, would suggest to me that its presence on the web after the conviction become spent; could be seen by Mr Keith and others (including myself) to be malicious. I can see no further value in the page remaining

Jeremy Philip Charles Keith (born 1964)[1] became chief executive of Derby County after a corporation he controlled with two others bought the club out of receivership for £3 in 2003. He had previously been a director at Portsmouth and had a financial role at Leeds United. Jeremy Keith has 15 current or previous company director or secretary appointments but only one company, Purus Advisory Ltd, is active.[2]
Early life
Keith was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica and moved to England when he was ten years old.[3]
Financial Irregularities
Mr. Keith was charged on 12 November 2007 with conspiracy to defraud and conceal criminal property after police investigations at Derby County. Former finance director Andrew Mackenzie and former director of football Murdo Mackay were also charged with similar offences.[4] In July 2009, Keith was convicted of false accounting and sentenced to 18 months in prison after being paid £125,000, as this payment was never approved by the club's board of directors.[5] He was also disqualified from being a company director for three years. Following an appeal the sentences were reduced to nine months, with a two-year ban on being a director.[6]
