…Today is a day I never wanted to see. I am absolutely heartbroken to hear of the passing of Kevin Keegan. Kevin wasn’t just a football manager to me—he was the man who introduced me to the Premier League and made me fall in love with the beautiful city of Newcastle…
@HLTCO@RichySouthern I was around your kids age with a team in the Doldrums when we signed the former England captain and double Ballon d’Or winner! Amazing times. Then years later during my uni years we were almost going down the pan. he returned and saved us again as a manager! Legend. RIP king Kev
@Magpie24_7@grahamcrosby I could have written almost the same post apart from I’m a couple of years younger. Still emotional today even though I never met the bloke. He changed our lives.
I’ve struggled working today since I heard. I’ve never been as upset about a non-family death but that’s the mark of the man. Special times watching him as a player and manager. Getting emotional reading the tweets and the tributes on the radio. He WAS the toon. RIP King Kev 😢
@danrsvilla It’s more about the principles of the protection of the ‘big six’. The deal may not be a bad bit of business but you may not have needed to do it without the shit rules. Plus only certain teams could have bought him due to the same bollocks. It’s bent.
