Keith Learmonth (born in 1933) is a former Australian soccer player.
Raised in Wollongong, Learmonth was one of New South Wales' most prominent strikers of the 1950's[1] competing at the highest level of soccer in Australia with local clubs, Corrimal Rangers and Corrimal United in the NSW Soccer Football Association and the NSW Soccer Federation leagues.
In 1955, Learmonth represented his country, earning cap number 136 in his only full A-international match.[2] However he also played further 6 matches in non-A internationals for Australia, scoring twice.[1] He was the first player to represent Australia at junior and senior level.[3][4]
Learmonth was a two time golden boot winner, ending the 1954 NSWSFA season with 34 goals[5] and the 1958 NSWSF season with 25 league goals.[6]
Unfortunately, Learmonth would suffer a career-ending injury during the 1960 season, retiring aged 27.[7]
