That’s incredibly sad. Had no idea he was battling cancer too!
RIP King Kevin 😔

Loved that Newcastle team he built. Proper fantasy football.

This was coming after news of his diagnosis. Doesn’t make it easier RIP Kevo. One of the best.
Bonnie Tyler, Sobers and now Keegan. What a shit month

Horrible news. I managed to meet him a decade ago and he was an absolute gent.
Rip fella.

My heart goes out to his family and friends. Losing a loved one is never easy.

I’ve reached the age now where so many people from TV in my childhood are either dead or Yew treed.

Gets overlooked just how phenomenal a player he was
Back to back Ballon D’or winner, we’re lucky to see a Brit born player get 1 let alone 2
Just sad, fuck cancer
Poignantly, Newcastle and Liverpool will meet in the first game of the new season.

Another sad news story about someone from my childhood passing away to cancer. It’s been a terrible few weeks for this sort of news.

The day after the World Cup finished, least he got to see one last game. What a legend

RIP King Kev, one of the best to play the game for our country. A true legend and likeable man. Gone but won’t be forgotten

I remember back in the day me and my brother would go to all the Liverpool and Everton home games when we were kids, he is red i am blue. I remember Kev when he started at Liverpool and got his autograph when he was at the opening of Steve Heighways sports shop in Ainsdale. Such sad news to hear he has passed.

I met him once when he was manager of Man City and they played Stags in a friendly.
Lovely bloke. He spent ages signing autographs and talking to fans. He had a good 10 minute chat with my dad about his Liverpool days. Most of us kids there wanted to meet David Seaman, and I remember him telling a dozen of us that he’s giving an interview at the front and if we go round there we’ll see him.
Great bloke.

Bless him. He was a wonderful footballing talent.

I know he never got the title but he gave my dad great memories as a boyhood Newcastle fan. RIP King Kev

One of the greatest footballers and personalities in English history. Two time balon d’or winner, 3 time league champion and European cup champion at Liverpool, Newcastle legend over 50 England caps and then managed his country. A true icon and by all accounts a genuinely lovely bloke. Huge loss.

Sad news. Every Liverpool v Newcastle match I wonder if it’s going to be a 4-3 belter. Thanks for the entertainment Kev.

RIPKK. True character and wore his heart on his sleeve. Would have loved to have seen him play at a world cup.

RIP Kevin, as a Manchester United fan that rivalry with us and Newcastle in the 90s was one of the greatest alongside Arsene Wenger in the modern era. Absolutely a Legend.

Poor Kev. When I was 7 in 1978, my grandparents took us on a trip to Tunisia. Every single shop we went into had a little portrait of Kevin Keegan on the wall. They adored him like royalty.

Always looked for to watching Newcastle when you were in charge and you were always honest and straight talking.
RIP Kevin

Incredibly gifted footballer whose passion for the game shone through – you would have to have been flint hearted not get caught up in the enthusiasm he had any time he talked about football – his legendary “I will love it” interview is still as memorable and passion filled Sky TV moment now as it was over 30 years ago.
Accused by a certain generation of not carrying the England team as a player he deservedly got his chance as manager even if by his own admission he just wasn’t able to deliver at that level – he will be long and fondly remembered by all fans as being “One of us” at heart – but none will be able to claim that more than his beloved Newcastle “Toon Army”.
RIP Kev – thanks for all the memories – you was a real one.

Whenever Kevin is mentioned I’m reminded of the time he fell off his bike on Superstars: https://youtu.be/n4OzPrskdqU?is=rNQ-b69wx4Gmr1bk
Very sad news. A great man.
Questionable use of the word “latest”.
