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.
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.
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.
I am sad to hear this. He visited a special school where I worked about 30 years. He was lovely and so charming to the young adults I worked with. I have had a soft spot for him ever since.
Such sad news. What a terrible year 2026 is turning out to be. With the reappearance of the mullet hairstyle, I often say to people you have a Kevin Keegan hairstyle.
I remember my dad having a perm,the Kevin keegan. Seemed a nice guy RIP
Sad news indeed. Such an icon of my youth ☹️ I saw him a few times in Liverpool city centre when I was a student there in the 70s. His hair was so distinctive it was easy to recognise him amongst the shoppers. Also, went to the Kop to watch him play a few times.
I have to add that by not leaving these shores am not referring to his three year signing with a German club. I very much meant in later life as he could so easily have retired from the game and gone elsewhere in the world to live and make a fortune he probably couldn’t have made here in the UK.
Thanks for kind wishes. xx I remember King Kev as a sensitive and gentle man who cared deeply about the game and those he managed as well as the supporters. He was very much a man of the people who never left these shores to make his fortune elsewhere. Alan Shearer’s tribute made me teary when he simply said ‘My hero, my manager, my friend. Rest easy boss’.😢

Sad news indeed. He was a speaker at a charity dinner I attended a few years ago - came across very well indeed, and was lovely afterwards, chatting and posing for photos with anyone who wanted one.
