We are devastated to learn of the passing of Kevin Keegan, one of the most iconic, influential and deeply loved figures in our club’s history. Kevin was more than a legendary footballer and manager. He was the beating heart of Newcastle United for generations of supporters.

Kevin Keegan has sadly passed away aged 75 after a battle with cancer. A family statement: "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." Newcastle United say they will consider "a lasting tribute" to Keegan's legacy, adding: "We are devastated to learn of the passing of Kevin Keegan, one of the most iconic, influential and deeply loved figures in our club’s history. "Kevin was more than a legendary footballer and manager. He was the beating heart of Newcastle United for generations of supporters. "As a player, he brought world-class talent, ambition and belief to St. James’ Park, helping to transform perceptions of what Newcastle United could be. "As a manager, he ignited our city. Kevin gave supporters hope and pride, and led a team whose style, spirit and passion captured the imagination of football fans around the world. He was so much more than an Entertainer. "Above all that, Kevin forged an extraordinary bond with Newcastle, built on the roots of his father, Joe. He understood our people. He embraced the North East with a passion that was genuine and unwavering, and in return, he earned his rightful place in the hearts of millions. "Kevin’s impact will not be measured by appearances or results. It will live on in the memories he created with club and country, the dreams he inspired wherever he went, and the generations of supporters around the world who fell in love with football because of him." Just terrible news. One of the most talented players in world football. A European Cup champion with Liverpool and a two-time winner of the Ballon d'Or. An equally fantastic manager with Newcastle, Manchester City, Fulham and England. Manchester City say: "Kevin was a transformative manager who brought optimism and vibrancy to City during his four-year spell in charge." Fortunate to work with King Kev at beIN Sports where his insight, charisma and humility always shone through. Just a joy to spend time with. Rest in peace, Kev. Thoughts with his family.🙏
