Only six British footballers have won the Ballon d'Or. One of them is Kevin Keegan and he won it twice in 1978 and 1979. What a player! 👏 It was a great pleasure to meet him last month. #YNWA #NUFC #LFC @PeteGravesTV @LFC @NUFC

My father being a Yorkshireman wanted me to be a cricketer. He said “you have done well & met a few stars. Made a few bob without breaking sweat. It’s not like playing for Yorkshire though is it?” It wasn’t, but it got pretty damn close. #RIPMichaelParkinson
