  2. “Mighty Mouse” ist tot

    Der von allen ehrlichen Fussball-Fans und Expert*inn*en gelobte und geliebte Kevin Keegan ist vorgestern gestorben. Extradienst-Autor André Dahlmeyer hat ihm in der Jungen Welt einen würdigen Nachruf gewidmet:

    “Nachruf: An die Wand gespielt – Zum Tod von Ausnahmestürmer Kevin Keegan. Erinnerungen eines Fans”

    Gerne ergänze ich meine persönliche Erinnerung.

    Ich habe ihn nur einmal gesehen. Es war am 26.1.1980, ich war einer von 22.100 am Bökelberg, wir gegen den Titelverteidiger. Es war nicht schön, Kevin hat mir sehr viel Angst gemacht, niemand bekam ihn unter Kontrolle. In der 37. machte er persönlich das 2:0 – Ringels, Hannes, Schäffer, Winnie Schäfer, Matthäus, keiner fand Gegenmittel.

    Harald Nickel, auch schon tot, aber unvergesslich wg. seines Tor des Monats November 1979 bei Inter Mailand (von der Mittellinie und in Bedrängnis! – ich stiess mir bei der Radioreportage den Kopf an der Zimmerdecke meiner damaligen Freundin, aber ich schweife ab) machte den Anschluss unmittelbar in der 38. und in der 88. machten wir (Schäffer, eins seiner zwei Saisontore) mühevoll den umjubelten Ausgleich gegen den Tabellenersten. Der “12. Mann” im Stadion hatte dieses Tor mitgeschossen. Später sollte sich herausstellen, dass wir damit auch dem Scheiss-Fussballkonzern aus dem süddeutschen Raum den Teppich für seinen soundsovielten Titelgewinn ausgerollt hatten …

    Es war kalt, es regnete, ich stand an der Gegengeraden – am Bökelberg, vom Hbf. wunderbar zu Fuss durch den Stadtteil Eicken hindurch zu erreichen, gab es an drei Seiten Stehplätze, und alle ohne Dach.

    Aber traumatisiert hat mich Kevin. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, nochmal so einen gesehen zu haben.

  5. Only just heard about the death of Kevin Keegan. He meant a great deal to our city, and was a very pleasant person when I met him. My dad basically idolised him! Sir Alex Ferguson wrote some very nice things in his tribute to him too. RIP King Kev

  11. Sad to hear the news about football legend Kevin Keegan.

    He always seemed like a thoroughly decent bloke. It's easy to underestimate how big a star and celebrity he was in his playing days, but he wasn't a big time Charlie. Passionate about the game and good humored throughout his life it seemed. He gave 100% on and off the pitch without arrogance.

    He managed my club, Fulham, and tragically at an away game at Gillingham one of our fans was killed. He stayed behind for hours at the ground, consoling the friends of the deceased who had travelled there with him, long after the team had left.

    One of the good ones.

    RIP Big Kev.

  13. Sad to hear of the passing of England Player/Manager football legend #KevinKeegan

    Here's 'King Kev' in the BBC Superstars show (1976) where elite athletes from a variety of sports compete against each other in a number of events.

    Half a pint of mild beer cures all knocks and bruises.

  14. Sad to hear that the legend #KevinKeegan has passed away at the age of 75.

    Whenever I think of Keegan, I think of how incredibly proud I was of Tyron Loran. Just a kid who grew up living and breathing football in the football-mad streets of Amsterdam-Zuidoost, yet talented enough to catch the eye of a legend like Keegan and #ManchesterCity

    From kicking a ball around on the neighbourhood square until the streetlights came on… to sharing the pitch with Nicolas Anelka 💪

  15. Ich weiß, HSV, St. Pauli und so, schwierig. Meine Frau war früher in sehr jungen Jahren trotzdem ein großer Fan von ihm. Ich weniger, was nicht an ihm oder dem HSV lag, sondern weil ich mich zu der Zeit noch gar nicht für Fußball interessierte. Daher wurde dieser Tröt stellvertretend auch in ihrem Namen geschrieben. Sie schwärmte mir oft von Kevin Keegan vor.

    War ein sympathischer Mensch und guter Fußballer, soweit ich das beurteilen kann. 🖤

  18. R.I.P. Kevin Keegan (1951-2026)

    More very sad news. Kevin Keegan (left) has passed away from cancer at the age of 75. He made his reputation at Liverpool, and in Germany, but I remember him best as a player and captain of the Newcastle United team that got promotion to the (then) First Division in 1984. At that time I was a student at Cambridge and member of the local branch of the NUFC Supporters’ Club so I got to see him play quite a few times. Keegan retired from playing at the end of that season and bid an emotional farewell from St James’s Park after the final game against Brighton.

    Kevin Keegan was an attacking midfielder who usually operated in the inside-right position. Very good on the ball and an excellent finisher, he was also surprisingly effective in the air. I say “surprisingly” because he wasn’t a very big man, around 5 foot 8 inches tall. After moving to Hamburg he was named European Footballer of Year for two successive years (1978 and 1979). It was quite unusual in those days for English footballers to play on the continent, but Keegan seems to have thrived there.

    Later on, in 1992, he rejoined Newcastle United as manager and brought them to promotion to the Premier League. They team led for most of the 1995/6 season but ended up in second place. He had assembled a wonderful group of attacking players but the team’s defensive frailties cost them the title. Keegan had a rather fragile character, and the strain obviously got to him and thence to the players. He was never a great tactical manager – my Dad said Keegan was more of a mascot than a manager – but that team played some great football. Was that really 30 years ago?

    On a more personal note, in the 1990s, my Mum was working at a school for physically handicapped children in Newcastle. One day they were visited by Kevin Keegan and some of the Newcastle players. Such PR trips were not uncommon and the staff didn’t think much of them. She didn’t care for footballers in general, but told me that Keegan was very different from most of the other visitors they got. He ignored the photographers aand the formal itinerary and just went to sit on the floor chatting with the kids around him. I never met him in person but it seems he was a genuinely nice man in private life.

    P.S. Though he was born in Doncaster, “Keegan” is an Irish name. His paternal grandfather was born in Ireland and moved to Newcastle to work as a miner. He could therefore have played for Ireland rather than England.

  19. So sad about Kevin Keegan. He was one of the many reasons that I started to support Liverpool FC back in the 70's.
