Kevin Keegan
Joseph Kevin Keegan, (born 14 February 1951) is an English former football player and manager. A forward, he played for several clubs, including Newcastle United, Southampton, Liverpool and Hamburger SV. He went on to manage Newcastle United, Fulham and Manchester City, winning promotion as champions in his first full season at all three clubs. He was also a player for the England national team, which he later managed, and was twice the winner of the Ballon d'Or.
Keegan began his playing career at Scunthorpe United in 1968, before moving to Liverpool in 1971. Whilst at Liverpool, he won three First Division titles, the UEFA Cup twice, the FA Cup and the European Cup. Keegan also gained his first England cap in 1972, and moved to West German club Hamburger SV in the summer of 1977. At Hamburg, he was named European Footballer of the Year in 1978 and 1979, won the Bundesliga title in 1978–79, and reached the 1980 European Cup Final. Keegan moved to Southampton that summer, and spent two seasons at the club before a transfer to Newcastle United in the English second division in 1982. He helped Newcastle to promotion in his second season, and retired from football in 1984, having been capped 63 times for England, scoring 21 goals.
Keegan moved into management at Newcastle in 1992, winning promotion as First Division champions. Newcastle then finished second in the Premier League in 1995–96, after leading for most of the season.
