was a big Newcastle fan.
When he joined Newcastle United they were in the second division but pretty quickly his goals helped transform the side and they were promoted back to the top flight.
At international level he had an incredible career.
Anybody who remembers football in the 70s will remember him as the kind of
David Beckham of his era.
He was one of the most famous people in the world.
I know the 70s are remembered for hippies and punks, but they're also remembered for Kevin Keegan and his iconic perm.
He
set fashions he set trends he was an extraordinary player he was the England captain at a time when you have to say England had some fantastic players but they didn't really succeed at the highest levels they played in plenty of European championships where they did pretty well but at the World Cup
I think he only ever played once, and that was in Spain in 1982, and he was actually injured.
So I think he only made one appearance as a substitute.
Put simply, he was somebody who had to work hard for everything that he achieved, and he was an extraordinary, extraordinary player, one of the greatest English players of all time.
Well, I mean, for the kind of football that his sides played, he was not somebody who was destined to be a manager.
When he retired as a footballer at the age of 33, because he thought that he wasn't as good as he used to be, he was always very, very honest, always wore his heart on his sleeve.
He retired to Spain.
He basically left football behind.
He didn't really want to have anything to do with football anymore.
But when he got the call to return to Newcastle, he felt that that was an offer that he just could not turn down because of his family's association with the club and also the great success that he'd had as a player.
at St.
James' Park.
