| RIP Kevin Keegan on 16:05 - Jul 20 with 4227 views | 442Dale | Sad news. An iconic player and a manager who played the game totally different to anyone else at the time. If Newcastle had won the league that year, football might have gone in a different direction. He was never the same as a manager after then. |  |

| RIP Kevin Keegan on 17:24 - Jul 20 with 4046 views | frenzied | Very sad news. Great memories of the Keegan/Toshack combination at Liverpool. One of the first players i recall venturing overseas to Hamburg. His stint on Superstars and the advert with Henry Cooper re the brut aftershave hark back to a happier time. Played and managed with his heart on his sleeve at all times, gave all for whoever he played for. RIP Kev |  | |  |

He never played for Scunthorpe at Spotland. His debut for them was 5 weeks after the opening day of the 1968/69 season. He played in the return fixture at the Old Showground, but by the time we faced Scunthorpe again, Keegan was with Liverpool. [Post edited 20 Jul 23:17]

| RIP Kevin Keegan on 00:02 - Jul 21 with 3559 views | rickyprickles | Yeah I remember KK been the manager for City for the pre season friendly. The reason for the game was City playing a few local sides to help financially due to the collapse of the ITV football thing |  | |  |

That was the game in which Chris Shuker played really well for City I think. I seem to remember Richard Jobson being given a great reception by the City fans. |  | |  |

He did. Sadly he brought Paul Dickov with him and finished Gary Brown's career. It was a good turnout and he let Rochdale keep all the takings as a gesture of goodwill. I had lunch with him once. Nice guy who could remember almost every game, the result, and every goal he scored. Almost photographic a memory around football. But had almost no knowledge of the world around him. He really was fully immersed in the game. The Man City players loved him. |  | |  |
