When Keith Legg's boys started playing for Northcote in 1979, he little suspected he would become intimately involved in the club himself. He agreed to make himself available for the management committee in 1982, discovering at his first meeting that Harold Wrightson, the treasurer, had died the previous week. Before he knew it, Keith was installed as treasurer, a position he held for 10 years.

He introduced some unique fundraising schemes and was a major force behind the club raising money to build what were, when completed, the finest rugby clubrooms in Auckland.
