Profile |
| |
Joseph Kevin Keegan
OBE |
|
Birth |
14 February 1951 at 32 Elm Place,
Armthorpe, West Riding of Yorkshire [registered in Don Valley, Yorkshire,
March 1951] |
|
Marriage |
to Jean
Woodhouse on 23 September 1974, at St Peters in Chains Church, Doncaster
[registered in Doncaster, September 1974]. Two daughters - Laura Jane & Sarah Marie. |
|
Playing Career |
 |
Following a
trial at Coventry City FC and a subsequent rejection, Keegan played his
football with the local Doncaster sides, including Peglar's Brass Works
Reserves, Elmfield House Youth Club and Lonsdale Hotel FC. It was
from the latter that Scunthorpe United FC became interested and signed him
in 1968. A dream move followed to Liverpool FC for £33,000 on 10 May
1971, although if Preston North End FC could have afforded as little as
£500 more, history may have been a little different. After 230
league games and 68 league goals, Keegan went across to West Germany to
join SV Hamburger for £500,000 on 3 June 1977, a Bundesliga record fee
(ninety
league appearances, 32 league goals). In February 1980, a press conference
was called that would shock a soccer nation when Lawrie McMenemy announced
that Southampton FC had clinched the signing of Keegan, with effect from 1
July 1980 for £400,000 (68 league appearances, 37 goals). Keegan dropped a
division and signed with Newcastle United FC on 19 August 1982 for
£100,000 (78 league appearances, 48 league goals). Kevin announced his retirement on 14 February
1984, to take affect at the end of that season. |

February 1992, when United where floundering at the bottom of the second
division of the Football League.
Nevertheless, he resigned after 38 days, only re-appointed after crisis
talks with United chairman, Sir John Hall. He was appointed
temporary manager
of the England U21 side on two occasions as

After guiding Newcastle into the top tier, he shocked
the footballing world by announcing his resignation again on 7 January
1997.

Operating Officer, taking over the manager's role in May 1998. |

Notes
Kevin Keegan's
natural ebullience was not enough. The rainy gloom furnished an
appropriate setting for one of the saddest days in England's football
history as Keegan, head down, walked off the
pitch and away from the job following the loss to Germany in old
Wembley's last international.
Kevin Keegan says he found the
England manager's job soulless and claims it is better suited to foreign
managers. The 60-year-old former Newcastle United, Fulham and
Manchester City manager was unable to reproduce his club success when he took
the job in February 1999. He told BBC Radio Manchester's 'In the
Spotlight' programme:
"I found it soulless and I didn't enjoy it. Obviously, people look at the results and say
they're the worst results ever of England manager. In the end, walking off after Germany, the
fans were horrendous and fair enough, it was disappointing. And I thought, it was the fans who got me the
job so it's time to go. I don't regret the England manager job, but I
didn't enjoy it. I found it hard to fill in the time. I found
myself going and training the blind team, the deaf team, working with the
ladies team. It's a very difficult job and it saddens me to
say it, [but] it's a better job for a foreigner than an Englishman at the
moment." - BBC Sport, 5 May 2011
