God rest your soul, King Kev.

Always liked KK even though I was too young to see him as a player. Always like his team's style as a manager, especially the Newcastle days. Seemed like a genuinely good guy too, only watched his interview the other day saying how he was the most ordinary man to win the Ballon d'Or, so much humility from what I heard about him and clips I saw he was an absolute baller.



RIP KK!

God bless Kevin Keegan, my football hero. Ed025, if you wouldn't mind sharing your story about him again. I know you've posted it on here before, but it's a great story and I know you named your son after him. Very sad day

{Ed025's Note - yeah Stone it hit me hard this one mate, it was 1976/7 and i was paving in Hawke St near lime St station when Kevin walked past us on his way to get the train to London as England were playing Ireland in the home Championships, one of our lads asked him if he fancied a cup of tea if he had time and he agreed, he came in the caravan and sat down and chatted to us for about 20/25 minutes there were 5 or 6 of us and we were in awe of him, he asked us all about our families and our work and was very down to earth and after finishing his cuppa (with no handle i might add) shook all our hands and wished us well, it was actually a bit surreal mate and a year later when my first child was born i insisted that we called him Kevin, i wanted him to turn out to be a nice guy like his namesake...and fortunately he has..

Just watched some clips of him as I wasn't old enough to see him play live. What a dynamic, hardworking, exciting player. Scored so many different types of goals, and lots of headers for a small player. Seems like great wing play back then to supply him and Toshack. He'll be sorely missed.

What a fantastic story, Billy!

KK was the first footballer I ever supported (a bit after his time with us), so, as a 5-6 year old, I supported Southampton and then Newcastle, all due to Keagan, and I did "love it" when he gave interviews as a manager!

Gone far too soon.

{Ed025's Note - he had a profound effect on me Zed, i could not believe that such a high profile player would sit in a clapped out corpy caravan with a bunch of ordinary guys drinking stewed tea from a mug with no handle mate,one of my greatest memories..

20 Jul 2026 21:16:20
Ah that's a brilliant story, Billy. 😢

{Ed025's Note - one of the highlights of my life Barry, i was just in the right place at the right time mate..

20 Jul 2026 21:26:09
What a player, what a man, what a story.

A sad, sad day. It all happened so quick, the light of heaven to him.

20 Jul 2026 21:01:49
That is a quality story Ed025. Also a great reminder of why Liverpool vs Everton is the best rivalry on the planet. Imagine a Man United fan naming their kid after a Man City player. It just wouldn't happen.

Thank you for sharing that. I wish modern footballers were still that humble.

{Ed025's Note - so do i MK, the memory has stayed with me mate..

20 Jul 2026 21:11:16
That's a lovely memory to have of him, Ed025. And going on to call your son after him, shows the effect he had on you. RIP Kevin Keegan.

{Ed025's Note - he was such a nice down to earth guy Ritchie..

20 Jul 2026 21:19:34
Awesome story, Ed25. Super happy that you and your bros. lived that experience.

{Ed025's Note - yeah Oli right place right time mate..

20 Jul 2026 21:45:41
What's great story Ed shows what a classy man he was dedicated hard waiting but full of humility

{Ed025's Note - absolutely Tim..

20 Jul 2026 21:49:52
You and I, Ed025, have shared our love of King Kev over the years and I was always touched by you naming your son after him. A very sad day.

{Ed025's Note - very sad Rome..

20 Jul 2026 22:05:13
Ah, that's a magic story. And a story of simpler, better times. Really amazing.

So sad. I was too young to watch him play live (started watching properly in 86), but used to watch old VHS vids of him and Tosh.

He always came across as a gentleman.

Brilliant story.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think it would happen these days MLG, a superstar going by himself to an International game by train carrying a grip bag and socialising with a bunch of scallies mate..

20 Jul 2026 21:59:08
Great story ed25

{Ed025's Note - and absolutely true Digger, a great memory mate..

21 Jul 2026 00:18:53
It's a great story and shows the measure of the man. He knew that football had given him a chance, a Yorkshire lad, who without football could have ended up down the pit. Fans are the lifeblood of the game, so KK will have known that he owed a lot to the fans.


A grafter, a champion, an elite player but humble and respected. You can't dislike a man like that.

20 Jul 2026 22:49:36
Brilliant story ed, sounded like a real nice guy.

{Ed025's Note - i only met him for 20 odd minutes RIB but he certainly made an impression on me mate..

20 Jul 2026 23:52:06
Thank you Ed for sharing that again. One of my favorite true stories. Give your son a big hug.

{Ed025's Note - cheers mate..

20 Jul 2026 18:51:35
Keegan was my hero growing up and this is more than a loss.
Knew it was coming for some time and you can never prepare.
I have met him several times and I need some time to gather my thoughts and pay my respects.



Will be taking a break. I hope we win the league and CL. Best wishes for o Iraola and the the team

Always a red YNWA. TC

20 Jul 2026 19:21:52
Kevin Keegan was my hero growing up too. A massive loss. Standing on the Kop as a kid watching KK was my first taste of LFC live. Such an icon for my generation. KK God bless.

20 Jul 2026 19:38:37
Big loss!
A great man!

RIP Kev.

20 Jul 2026 19:45:14
We lost another legend today. 😔 😢

RIP King Kev. 💪

20 Jul 2026 19:51:03
Keegan was the sole reason I started supporting Liverpool. I am gutted. RIP King Kev.

20 Jul 2026 20:17:06
RIP Kev.

20 Jul 2026 20:35:32
My first football hero was gutted when he went to Hamburg.
A great player and man. RIP Mighty Mouse.

20 Jul 2026 21:21:20
Really sad King Kev has left us. Never saw him play, but I knew a lot about him. Came off as a real footballer and genuinely nice guy.

RIP, King Kev. You will surely be missed.

21 Jul 2026 04:14:13
A very sad day, great player who never stopped and gave everything he had.

Thanks for the memories, Kev.

21 Jul 2026 10:44:38
RIP KK and a true man of the people, remember him on Superstars. Apt that we play Newcastle first game YNWA.

20 Jul 2026 17:52:42
I have a feeling we lose out on Barcola, we make a bid, it's accepted on second attempt, Arsenal come in and get the deal done. Even more horrible feeling we end up with Diomande, there's not a chance RBL decline that kind of money. Regardless of how rich they are.

Technically they are stratospheres apart and I can't see Diomande drastically improving technically which he needs to do, he's more of a Traore than a Mane.

20 Jul 2026 18:30:44
I thought your doom and gloom posts always go to the Discussions page?

Could you change your name to Eeyore, please?

20 Jul 2026 19:07:28
Zed, or maybe Droopy?

20 Jul 2026 19:07:33
Would be rude to Eeyore. He's a bit more positive than Bob.

20 Jul 2026 19:28:51
Droopy?! Has Mrs Zed been peddling gossip?!

20 Jul 2026 21:02:15
Oh for crying out loud, Bob. Can't you just smile?

20 Jul 2026 21:22:57
MKS, Smiling can be a lot tougher when all you have is doom and gloom to share with the outside world.

20 Jul 2026 23:14:14
Don't know Barcola at all obvs lol but I get the feels that he's a London type of guy.

21 Jul 2026 05:25:25
Attention seekers will disappear if nobody engages with their posts.

20 Jul 2026 17:45:09
I just went on the Arsenal rumours page to see if there were any links to them and Barcola or Rayan from any of their itk .I cannot believe how quiet the page is .which is probably just as well for the Ed's who are inundated here on Liverpool rumours

20 Jul 2026 19:19:24
Because they are all on the Argentina page swapping ideas...

20 Jul 2026 19:10:19
Which are the most busy sites out of interest here Eds?

{Ed025's Note - Liverpool by a mile mate..

20 Jul 2026 17:43:25
RIP Kevin Keegan. Pleasure to watch you in your prime!
YNWA

20 Jul 2026 18:31:12
Condolences to all. YNWA.

20 Jul 2026 18:47:05
KK was my first proper Liverpool hero with magical performances in the 74 Cup Final and Rome 77, of course. And who could forget the bike crash on Superstars? Proper hard Northerner, despite the hair. RIP SuperKev.

20 Jul 2026 19:10:03
Two-time European Player of the Year... Also, his honesty throughout his life as a manager, as to his capabilities and lack of ability at times, was refreshing and heartwarming. RIP Kev and thanks for being you.

21 Jul 2026 00:17:00
As a young service engineer, I was called out to a call in North Wales, which was my patch, to repair a washing machine. Lovely white large bungalow. I knocked on the door and a nice lady with blonde hair opened it and invited me into the kitchen.

Well, blow me down, sitting at the table was Kevin. As a Liverpool fan, I was gob smacked, unable to speak. He even made me a cuppa tea. What a great couple. I remember it to this day. So sad. ynwa.

20 Jul 2026 17:42:07
RIP Mighty Mouse YNWA

20 Jul 2026 21:24:04
Mighty Mouse, indeed. RIP, King Kev.

20 Jul 2026 17:32:35
I used to get his autograph every home game. Standing outside the players' entrance after every game. What a lovely friendly man. He was my hero. Broke my heart when he left. I was at Wembley to watch him get sent off.

His song: Kevin Keagan walks on water nana nana nah na nan nan nah. One of the greats.

RIP KK

20 Jul 2026 17:22:38.
God Bless You Kevin.
May You Forever Rest In Peace.
