LONDON, England — Former England captain, manager and football legend Kevin Keegan has died at the age of 75 following a battle with cancer.
His family confirmed his death on Monday, saying he passed away surrounded by his wife and daughters.
Keegan is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of his generation. He remains the only Englishman to have won the Ballon d’Or twice, securing the prestigious award in 1978 and 1979 while playing for German club Hamburg.
Before moving to Germany, Keegan enjoyed a glittering spell with Liverpool from 1971 to 1977. He helped the club win three First Division titles, the 1977 European Cup, the FA Cup and two UEFA Cups.
He scored 100 goals in 323 appearances for Liverpool, establishing himself as one of the most iconic players in the club’s history.
Keegan also represented Scunthorpe United, Southampton and Newcastle United during his playing career. He earned 63 caps for England and scored 21 international goals.
After retiring as a player, Keegan moved into management, taking charge of Newcastle United, Fulham, Manchester City and the England national team.
He is particularly remembered for transforming Newcastle United into one of the Premier League’s most exciting attacking teams during the 1990s.
Tributes have poured in from across the football world, with supporters, former players and clubs remembering Keegan’s remarkable contribution to the sport and his enduring legacy.
