Just been reading that he has been diagnosed with cancer. He was an absolute idol of mine when I was young. Loved him as both a player and manager. So enthusiastic. Wishing him all the best.

Too young to see him as a player but loved him as a manager. Never given enough time with England. Hope he makes a quick recovery.

Great player & good manager for Newcastle, out of his depth as England manager & he knew it which is why he resigned.

Also .. If I remember correctly rumour is he trialled with Coventry but we didn't progress as we said he was too small.

Seen him play at Highfield road in the 70’s for Liverpool - it was my first ever match - it ended 0 0 - Keegan skyed a free kick in the upper section of the west stand and i caught the ball - it was an evening match

I’ve been going over forty years and never touched the ball in the stands.

Not KK related but watched a quick doc on Graham Paddon, apparently one of the best players not to play for England. Started with us and sold after only 5 qst team games.

He died at 57, supposed to be an absolute gent and top player. Didn't even get a headline on his passing after illness.

haji kicked the ball straight into my hands warming up before a home game last season.
i got a cheer from those around me, but was secretly pissed off that he'd missed the training goal by such a distance.

A legend… Hope he pulls through

His last win as a manager (In what proved to be his penultimate match) was against us, bit of trivia

Just read up on it now. Sounds worrying. Hope he pulls through. Always comes across as really top guy.

Still remember the moment he resigned as England manager on the TV after losing the last game at the old Wembley…I felt so sorry for him, cared so much about the job that he knew it wasn’t right to carry on.

His Newcastle teams produced some really glorious football and deserved a title.

I do have a story on this one slightly odd but true. I used to be DJ and manager of a nightclub in Loughborough back in the day. One regular was Seb Coe on soft drinks. But Kevin Keagan has a younger brother who he wanted to set up with a business, and was going to buy the night club for him. The brother hung around for months and Kevin came a couple of times. Kevin and his team were diligent to the extreme. Ultimately Kevin said no. And that was that. Really nice guy and I wish him well and hope he beats it.

I was a Sammy’s indie kid on a Monday night. Could occasionally do the Tuesday student night and the Wednesday party night too. When I was proper hardcore (post exams) even did a couple of Thursday nights are (Local) Ladies nights at Sammy’s.

For the record, I’m sure Doug King was at Junction 23.

I think at time he played I was sitting in the sky blue stand and although he could get it that wide he didn’t have the power to get it into the upper tier.
