Gone but not forgotten and certainly not the death list

RIP Kevin Keegan. 
Really wanted that Newcastle team to win the league when he was in charge. 
 

I'll always remember this game from Keegan's spell in charge. Man Utd were pretty much unbeatable back them and Newcastle hammered them playing champagne football.

Was fortunate to see him play at his peak for Liverpool

The same season we lost to Sheff Weds 7-1 in the League Cup, but beat Newcastle at home the following weekend.

Bobby Davison!

That Albert goal was brilliant.

Yes. Thought we had a chance when Lenny got our equaliser but Keegan had other ideas. Saw him play against West Ham too when in London with my Hammers mate.

Obviously it was known he was ill but still tough to hear it.

 

I do wonder if his lack of public appearances has made him difficult to age, if that makes sense? Virtually all clips of him are from his playing and managing days where he was younger and still vibrant.

 

An iconic figure in the sport and even beyond.

GIF's you can hear

Iconic.

 

Remember  at the time of him playing was well  before all the sports nutrition etc, what a physique  he had.

 

 

Theres an episode of Aif Weidershen  pet when Jimmy Nail picks up a newspaper in Germany where they are all working and proclaims he has to return to Newcastle at once...shows the paper and it states " Kevin Keefan to Newcastle United"😁

 

I still cant believe he'  passed away.

Yeah I know what you mean in that it's hard to imagine he was 75. I'm heading into my later forties now and everybody high profile that is dying is now somebody I remember from my teenage years, at which point KK was leading that fantastic Newcastle side. It's thoroughly depressing.
