Toon Army’s Chief

Wor Kev

A photo of a proud footballer astride his magpie coloured Harley Davidson on the green grass of St James Park in Newcastle. He played for Liverpool, Hamburg, England and Newcastle eventually becoming manager for the Toon Army in the 90’s recovering them from third tier relegation and getting them to prominence in the Premier League. Sadly Kevin Keegan passed away today at the age of 75. Along with Henry Cooper and Barry Sheene, Keegan was the face of sports in the 70’s for any English lad.

  1. Not just English lads Dave, Aussie lads too, especially Barry Sheene who was an honorary Aussie :-0 to all of us who had bikes through the ’70s and onward. Kevin Keegan was an idol also as I moved to London in ’76 [and stayed through until ’85] and although I’m a staunch Crystal Palace supporter [mainly because m ymate and I initially lived in West Norwood just up the road from Selhurst Park] I admired Keegan’s incredible talent.
