It is with immense sadness that we announce that Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75. The former England player and manager had been battling cancer and was surrounded by his wife and daughters in his final moments. Kevin, a double Ballon D’or winner, was a much loved husband, father and grandfather. The family would like to thank Kevin’s incredible medical team for all their support. This is a hugely difficult time and they are requesting space and privacy.
Best remembered for his career at Liverpool during the 1970’s before moving to Hamburg in Germany, Keegan managed Manchester City taking over from Joe Royle in 2001 a spell which included promotion to the Premier League in 2002 as Division One champions, but Keegan left the club in March 2005 announcing his retirement from football.
