Former Liverpool star Kevin Keegan has died from stage 4 cancer.
“It is with immense sadness that we announce that Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75,” Keegan’s family announced in a statement on Monday.
The 75-year-old from Armthorpe (about two hours north of Birmingham) began his career at Scunthorpe United before signing to join Liverpool FC in 1971.
There, “King Kevin” went on to win the First Division title three times, the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup twice, and the European Cup.
Keegan retired at 33, later rejoining Newcastle United as a manager in 1992 and the English National Team as a manager in 1999.
