Kevin Keegan, one of the biggest names in English football history, has died at the age of 75. He had been diagnosed with cancer.
Small in stature but hugely enthusiastic and determined to win, Keegan enjoyed great success as a player with Liverpool before making a then-rare move into continental football with German side Hamburg. While there he was twice named European Footballer of the Year. He also made 63 appearances for England, 31 as captain.
Moving into management with Newcastle United, he became widely renowned for encouraging an attractive attacking style. After further success with Fulham he became England manager in February 1999, but lasted only 20 months before resigning.
