Classic KK - he really worked hard to make himself into a world class player. I just wish he had been fit during the 1982 World Cup, it might have turned out differently for England if he had have been. Funny how he seemed to lack a little bit of confidence during this early interview, certainly more sure of himself in later years. Probably the influence of Shankly and the Boot Room I suspect!
fanastic great player would kevin keegan get the chance today? especially with managers like wenger and benitz who seem to rather foreign talent over british and irish young players
very well spoken for a 17 year old, and very humble. He always puts the fans first... playing wonderful football as a first requirement the result ..its a crying shame they didn't win it that year...( and i'm a utd fan)...i'd love to see him at united, when fergie goes, even if utd finish last! hah
You wouldn't finish last. I hate it when people (not u) make a distinction between playing pretty football and winning trophies. They're not mutually exclusive. Teams who play football properly win stuff. Keegans Newcastle were an exception to the rule.
Keegan would win stuff at man u. No doubt. And the football would be mouth-watering if you let him loose with City's money.
The 17 year old Keegan interview was amazing! What a lovely intelligent lad he was. Apart from putting on a few pounds and the grey hair, he's hardly changed. Fantastic servant for Liverpool. I thought he was irreplaceable at Liverpool....then King Kenny arrived!
This was 1979? Good quality. He's a true legend, hero, and the Geordie messiah. Any new owners of our great club with any sense will reinstate him immediatley.
Agreed. Blame Arsend Wenker for the decimation of our national league. By the way Keegan looks like Lee Evans in this, only of course with absolutely no sense of humour. Defensively Evans has the edge too.
Before Sam was sacked I wrote on this board how much I loved the guy for what he has done for the club. Little did I know he'd be back a fortnight later. Good luck Kev.
Those were the days when footballers aspired to play for their country and didnt just see it as a waste of time, dragging them away from their estates and model girlfriends.
Kind of looks like a young Bruce Springsteen

Back in the days when it was True Football.
Keegan was at his best definetely in 96-98 with players like ginola, batty, asprilla ferdinand.
We were unstoppable. That was true football. No fame. Just football.
Good luck Keegan my son
