Liverpool, he won the Ballon d'Or twice there as a player.
But incredible that he's probably attached more to Newcastle, despite winning the European Cup with Liverpool two or three times and winning the Ballon d'Or once.
That shows how much Newcastle United meant to him and how much he meant to Newcastle United and this city.
Do you know what, Bella?
The thing that I think is most crazy about this whole situation is Kevin Keegan was not from Newcastle.
Alan Shearer, of course, was from here.
Sir Bobby Robson was from here.
The statues of both of those behind me, Kevin Keegan was from over 100 miles south in Newcastle.
in Yorkshire but he got it he got the people we saw that goal just before the break there on his debut as a player against Queen's Park Rangers and he threw himself into the supporters to essentially proclaim I am one of you and he allowed the city and these supporters to dream again and think what we could actually be I've actually reached out to a few of my friends today because
I'm Scottish, I'm not from Newcastle, but many of my close friends are, and a lot of them are big Newcastle United fans, and I've reached out to them to ask them, what did Kevin Keegan mean to you?
And this is just a few of the things they've said to me.
One of them said Newcastle signed Kevin Keegan.
He was a Ballon d'Or winner in his second division at the time.
He came to Newcastle.
That was the equivalent of a current championship club signing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
That was what that was like at that time.
Another supporter said he's the creator of our DNA.
He was and always will be the Messiah.
Many of them have said he made us believe again and single-handedly he lifted the club off its knees.
I think back to January, of course, when it was announced that Kevin Keegan, through his family, had cancer.
