RIP Kevin Keegan

YNWA Kevin. My first love at Liverpool. Was gutted when he left us for Hamburg, but his parting gift was very special, our first European Cup.

Brilliant footballer and a lovely man as well.

RIP

My partner was a Newcastle United supporter and he’s been in tears about his death. I don’t think anyone has a bad word to say about him. We’ve lost so many lovely people recently .

I cried this evening. For my own loss.
And found myself thinking “Mrs Keegan will be feeling like this now too”. 💐
A club that no one wants to be in, that’s for sure.
Thoughts tonight for all who are. x

Yes those words from Alan Shearer made me well up too. Simple but so effective. Watched Kevin K when he played for Liverpool and then at Anfield when he was manager of Newcastle. Such love and respect for him from both lots of supporters. YNWA

My son named my grandson after him.
YNWA ❤️

The man who launched perms for men. Even if they looked really naff.

Decent type and and a good footballer. Thanks Kevin

RIP🙏

kevin was a pin up on my wall as a teenager, he was a really nice guy, RIP kevin.

A beautiful man, inside and out. RIP KK

MT62 I think that hairstyle will always be affectionately known as "having a Kevin Keegan" My Grandad met KK when he came to Hull City and got his autograph on a program.

I’ve got a lovely picture of him and my son at a charity night. I will treasure it always because it was so nice and he was so natural and friendly. May he rest in peace.

I am sad to hear this. He visited a special school where I worked about 30 years. He was lovely and so charming to the young adults I worked with. I have had a soft spot for him ever since.

Such sad news. What a terrible year 2026 is turning out to be. With the reappearance of the mullet hairstyle, I often say to people you have a Kevin Keegan hairstyle.

I remember my dad having a perm,the Kevin keegan.
Seemed a nice guy RIP

I remember having a poster of him on my bedroom wall.

Always came across as a lovely man, and he had a distinguished football career.

Another sad loss this month. R.I.P. KK

RIP. Loved you playing for Liverpool in the 70s.

Sad news indeed. Such an icon of my youth ☹️
I saw him a few times in Liverpool city centre when I was a student there in the 70s. His hair was so distinctive it was easy to recognise him amongst the shoppers.
Also, went to the Kop to watch him play a few times.

I have to add that by not leaving these shores am not referring to his three year signing with a German club. I very much meant in later life as he could so easily have retired from the game and gone elsewhere in the world to live and make a fortune he probably couldn’t have made here in the UK.

Thanks for kind wishes. xx
I remember King Kev as a sensitive and gentle man who cared deeply about the game and those he managed as well as the supporters. He was very much a man of the people who never left these shores to make his fortune elsewhere.
Alan Shearer’s tribute made me teary when he simply said ‘My hero, my manager, my friend. Rest easy boss’.😢

So very sad. RIP Kevin - one of the great sportsmen. 😢

RIP Kevin. A really good bloke who wore his heart on his sleeve😢

Very sad news, one of the greats of British sport. RIP Kevin.

Kevin Keegan seems to have been a thoroughly decent man. Fallingstar and all best wishes for your daughter.

Sad news indeed. He was a speaker at a charity dinner I attended a few years ago - came across very well indeed, and was lovely afterwards, chatting and posing for photos with anyone who wanted one.

Oh so sad.
Falling star and FGT - so sorry .
FS - I wish your young daughter, a successful treatment and a good future !

I’m sorry FGM and what a worry for you fallingstar. I wish your daughter well

Poor old Kevin.
