Nice reminder of a true, yet understated legend. I was lucky enough to see his first game (as well his last) and he immediately surpassed the great Sir Roger in my eyes (also my first experience of the darker side of the game as this 13 year old had his scarf nicked by an adult Forest fan in Stanley Park. Hated them as a club from that day forward). What no one can deny was that Keegan was his own man and though I disowned him as a greedy bastard when he left I look back on his time at LFC as pivotal. We wouldn’t have won the European Cup in Rome without him and you have to win your first before you can win your second let alone your 6th. Thank you Eddie and thank you KK.
Remember sitting in my bedroom, as a 13 year old, listening to the radio when Keegan was playing for the Reds.

Superb piece about a footballer and a man greater than the sum of his parts.
Enjoyed that! Keegan one of my earliest football heroes, what a player
