Joseph Kevin Keegan, (born 14 February 1951) is a former international footballer and former manager of the England national football team and several English clubs.
At Liverpool, Keegan won three First Division titles, two UEFA Cups, one FA Cup and the European Cup. He also gained his first England cap in 1972
In 1971 Keegan was signed to Liverpool for the sum of £35,000. He was transferred as a midfielder but ended up playing forward alongside striker John Toshack. The two of them struck up a famous partnership and quickly became well known and loved by commentators and fans. The "Dynamic Duo" attained superhero status and were frequently compared to Batman and Robin.
In his first game of the 1971-72 season, against Nottingham Forest, Keegan scored after only 12 minutes (although mainly by luck on this occasion). Liverpool won 3-1, changing their fortunes and launching Keegan's career.
As a player in the 1970s and 1980s, he has been described as "arguably the first superstar English player to attract the modern media spotlight".
In his first game of the 1971-72 season, against Nottingham Forest, Keegan scored after only 12 minutes (although mainly by luck on this occasion). Liverpool won 3-1, changing their fortunes and launching Keegan's career.
He was crowned European Footballer of the Year in both 1978 and 1979.
Later in 1982 Keegan made another surprise move, this time down to the second-division Newcastle United, after he fell out with Southampton coach Lawrie McMenemy. Once again he worked his magic, drawing them up the league table. Over the course of 78 appearances he scored 48 goals.
In 1984 he announced his retirement. After the last match of the season, at St James' Park, he left the grounds by helicopter and moved to Spain with his family
Kevin Keegan made a dramatic return to football management amid euphoric scenes on Tyneside in January 2008.
The former Geordie boss was installed as manager of his beloved Newcastle for a second time.
Keegan may well be joined by his former striker, Alan Shearer, who indicated to Gary Lineker on Match of the Day that he would be interested in joining King Kevin at St. James' Park
He took charge of the England team in 1999 but resigned in the autumn of 2000, following a loss against Germany in World Cup qualification (this was also the last game at the old Wembley Stadium). |
