Keeree decided to use football to promote the Seiko brand and founded one of the most famous and successful football teams ever in Hong Kong, Seiko Sports Association (精工), in the 1970s and 1980s.

With Wu and a host of foreign players, the team won a total of nine Hong Kong First Division League titles including a record seven consecutive titles.

In 1986, when his plans for a super league was turned down by the Hong Kong Football Association, coupled with a Stelux business downturn, Keeree dissolved the football team after a full house farewell match for Wu Kwok Hung.
