Appearances
He also had a spell managing Manchester City, but he will be remembered as being a...
quite a sort of emotional and very, very honest England manager.
He did his best with the group of players that he had.
He got them into Euro 2000 where they were knocked out in the group stages and then he quit in very, very remarkable circumstances.
He actually quit
during an interview with Sky Sports, an interview that was conducted by Claire Tomlinson, our former colleague.
She was the reporter at Wembley for the final ever game at the old Wembley Stadium, which was a World Cup qualifier against Germany.
And she interviewed him after the game.
And I remember speaking to Claire about this just a few months ago.
And she said, totally out of the blue, she wasn't expecting it at all.
Kevin Keegan just stood in front of the camera and said to her, I'm going to quit as the England manager.
I've told the FA, I've looked in the mirror and I just don't feel that I've got what it takes at this level to be a successful manager.
Can you ever imagine a manager doing that in the modern era?
extraordinary what he did and extraordinary how honest he was.
There was then a second spell as the Newcastle United manager when he returned to St James' Park but unfortunately I don't think his relationship was too good with the owners at the time and he left the club and he retired from football.
I have to say growing up
He was one of my heroes and he was an extraordinary, extraordinary man and also an extraordinary player and manager.
Thomas Frank watches on bewildered and Callum Wilson does what Callum Wilson does.
Bukayo Saka, Eze!
He claims Derby Day again!
