Rip Kevin. What an absolute fabulous player.

20 Jul 2026 17:04:18
Just read that terrible news, one of my favourite Liverpool players, sad day. RIP

RIP Kevin Keegan.

20 Jul 2026 21:25:45
Didn't know him well as he was before my time. I do know a lot about him and what a guy; What a player and what a King he was at LFC.

Rest in Peace, Kev. You've run your race.

How apt our first game of the season is away to Newcastle, a 3-4 for old times sakes anyone? RIP Kevin Keegan.

20 Jul 2026 17:02:08
I didn't really know much about Keegan as he's well before my time, but nobody has a bad word to say about him, which, given he was in the public eye for over 50 years, probably says a lot about the man he was!

RIP Kevin Keegan.

How fitting our first game away to Newcastle. what a wonderful atmosphere and show of appreciation from a sold out st James it will be for the man.

KK was way before my time, I find it strange he won European player of the year twice (not whilst at Liverpool) won 3 leage titles with us yet he doesn't make most people's all time 11. or doesn't get mentioned as much as Barnes Kenny Gerrard souness and the 80s crowd. is this just a timing and age of the supporters who would remember him?

I'm not trying to be ignorant to his contributions but I am curious.

Ed1 please feel free to not post if you feel it is in bad taste to ask the question.

RIP KK.

It's a fair question, Mr.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I suppose people of my age, who were kids in the 70s, he was our talisman. Never failed to perform on the biggest of games - 73 UEFA Cup final, 74 Cup semi, 74 Cup final, 76 away to Wolves, 76 UEFA Cup final, 77 European Cup final, he was all over these games & scored vital goals in most.
All-action player who never left an ounce on the pitch and a born winner.


Never had the natural skills of Kenny but he made up for all that in total effort, plus the fact he was vastly underrated as a finisher - pretty lethal in front of goal and just a fantastic team player.
I've no doubt he had a few poor games sprinkled in, but I can't remember seeing or hearing about any.
Again, for my age group Shanks loved him, which says everything!

Sad day. RIP KK.

Always remember him smacking Billy Bremner in the Charity Shield. Stood up for himself, right enough. Great player, great manager, great bloke.

Sincere condolences to family and friends.

agree on that. born in 70 here. rip kk

Oh my God. He's the reason I became a lifelong Liverpool supporter. May he rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏼 My hero, and heroes never get forgotten. YNWA.

20 Jul 2026 16:29:04
My first ever hero, too, ArAy. He won us our first European Cup in Rome 1977.

20 Jul 2026 16:59:57
Mine too - 1974 FA Cup final was the first game I remember watching on TV. I was gutted when he left us.

20 Jul 2026 18:39:56
Rome, that run toward the penalty box with Berti "the bulldog" Vogts matching him step for step, until he had no choice but to foul him. This is forever burned into my memories.

20 Jul 2026 20:36:02
The 1977 European Cup final was the only game I remember watching him play in. Bertie Vogts man-marked Keegan, but there was only one winner.
KK was also a bit of a celebrity at a time when footballers were much less in the limelight.


I followed him in Superstars, watched his Brut adverts with 'Enry Cooper, and I can't forget the record he made, Head Over Heels. 🙂

We should all treasure what we've got while we've got it. RIP King Kev.

20 Jul 2026 16:03:37
RIP specialk.

The reason for my username.
My childhood hera and the reason I support this wonderful football club.

I'll forever remember the 74 cup final, great player and character.

Condolences to his family.

RIP Kevin, true legend and my hero growing up. He and JT were telepathic!

20 Jul 2026 16:18:20
Sad news indeed.
My thoughts are with Kevin and his family.
A club legend.

20 Jul 2026 15:58:13
Sad news at the passing of Kevin Keegan - RIP. A true legend of the game.

20 Jul 2026 16:05:16
Oh my God! Terrible news, only 75 as well.

I know he had advised of his cancer diagnosis, but still, so fast.

Rest in peace.

20 Jul 2026 16:09:36
RIP Kevin. A true legend.

20 Jul 2026 16:30:12
Keegan left Liverpool the year I was born, so I never saw him wear the red, unfortunately.

I did, however, grow up with my Dad and my Granddads all telling how great he really was.

RIP King Kev, you will be sorely missed. You put smiles on millions of people's faces.

20 Jul 2026 15:54:41
Kev Keegan has passed away today.

RIP

20 Jul 2026 15:47:27
Ed's & everyone else.

With the utter disgrace & debacle of last nights antics how humbling & upsetting to hear of the passing of the great Kevin Keegan!
A class act and a gent!

My early years as a kid watching Liverpool were synonymous with KK - never failed to perform on the really big occasions!

One of true greats!

20 Jul 2026 16:46:56
Proper legend.

20 Jul 2026 17:48:40
KK->KD in '77 was my introduction to LFC.
His 2nd departure is even sadder still.
Godspeed, man.
