Kevin Keegan the curly haired dynamo on the football pitch, much loved by many in the football world, especially Newcastle.
Thoughts are with his family, friends, and football fans.

I’ve got a lovely picture of him and my son at a charity night. I will treasure it always because it was so nice and he was so natural and friendly. May he rest in peace.

MT62 I think that hairstyle will always be affectionately known as "having a Kevin Keegan" My Grandad met KK when he came to Hull City and got his autograph on a program.

The man who launched perms for men. Even if they looked really naff.

Decent type and and a good footballer. Thanks Kevin

RIP🙏

Yes those words from Alan Shearer made me well up too. Simple but so effective. Watched Kevin K when he played for Liverpool and then at Anfield when he was manager of Newcastle. Such love and respect for him from both lots of supporters. YNWA

I cried this evening. For my own loss.
And found myself thinking “Mrs Keegan will be feeling like this now too”. 💐
A club that no one wants to be in, that’s for sure.
Thoughts tonight for all who are. x

My partner was a Newcastle United supporter and he’s been in tears about his death. I don’t think anyone has a bad word to say about him. We’ve lost so many lovely people recently sad.

YNWA Kevin. My first love at Liverpool. Was gutted when he left us for Hamburg, but his parting gift was very special, our first European Cup.

Brilliant footballer and a lovely man as well.

RIP
