Unbelievable. Keegan was a great player, a super guy too.

We were very lucky to have a real life superhero in our lives during the Keven Keegan times at Newcastle and it hurts us to the core now he’s gone.

Kevin Keegan played for my favorite club Hamburger SV in Germany for 2 years.They won 2 Championships with him! He is still remembered and beloved in Hamburg, a legend for HSV fans. I couldnt believe a player from Liverpool signed with Hamburg. He was a wonderful person. Thats why he is so fondly remembered wherever he played. What a sad loss.

A LEGEND that will never be forgotten! RIP King Kev! 🖤🖤🤍🤍

It’s rare for any sportsman to be so universally loved by all, but Kev was one of them. A true gentleman and an all time legend. RIP Kevin.

Kevin Keegan was not only THE man of my childhood, but the father of every Newcastle United fan, the true lifeblood and King of the North East.

Keegan embodied the spirit and desire of every Newcastle United fan by delivering us hope and belief in even the darkest of times, he truly believed in all of us as fans off the pitch just as much as the players on it. He will be remembered forever RIP King Kev ❤

Absolute legend. Seeing the Toon Army turn out in such huge numbers really shows the impact King Kev had on the game and the city. A true hall-of-fame career. What’s your favorite memory of him leading the line or managing the side?
