KK's Birthday Today.

KK's birthday today.

1951 Kevin Keegan born, Armthorpe, Yorkshire.



Probably Peglers Brass Works' most famous player, Newcastle had been alerted to a promising youngster on Scunthorpe's books, but failed to act before Liverpool paid £35K for his services in 1971.

Punishing us on numerous occasions whilst clad in a red shirt (most notably the 1974 FA Cup Final), Kevin Keegan moved on to SV Hamburg in 1977, returning to England in 1980 with Southampton.

Arrived at SJP in August 1982 thanks in part to a deal brokered between United and S&N Breweries, his effect was immeasurable in revitalising the club.

Always liked KK, great player and great personality. Whenever he's been at an away game to commentate on it he's always had a word with the fans.

 

They've shown some great videos of the KK and Rob Lee days on the trips to the away games.

They just seemed to be scoring goals for fun and there was certainly some crackers among them.

 

Keegan, always a hero in my eyes

 

Happy Birthday Kev!
