Kevin Keegan

[Rammstein]

Terrible news to hear.

A proper bloke and footballer.

Stay strong and best wishes.

 

[Darlo1973]

One of the great players of the 70s.

Hope he can beat this.

Just a shame he wasn't fit for Spain 82.

One of my first football memories is him coming on as a late sub with Trevor Brooking against Spain.

 

[jock1980]

Sad to hear. He was a great footballer.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

I don’t know a lot about the stages. Is stage 4 really bad?

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

Sad news. He was a fantastic footballer. Won the Ballon D'Or twice.

 

[Alfies Hat]

I don’t know a lot about the stages. Is stage 4 really bad?

There isn't really a stage 5.
So it isn't good.

From BBC Sport…

Stage four is the most advanced stage of cancer, and means the disease has spread to other parts of the body.

 

[Drifter]

I don’t know a lot about the stages. Is stage 4 really bad?

Yes. It’s the most advanced stage there is.
Despite the mag connections wish him all the best. Not afraid to pull on a Sunderland shirt in a charity game either

 

[Trumpet]

Always gave 100% proper professional not like some of these tosspots playing today

 

[Qwerty]

Comes across as a professional who gave it everything and deserved every reward he got.

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

He was a good player who always gave 100% and made the maximum of what he had. Comes across as a decent fella as well.

I went to a sportsman’s lunch in Leeds about 30 years ago when he was the headline speaker. Very funny, especially his tales of tangling with Shankly and Tommy Smith.

Hope he pulls through

 

[Look at Jeff Woad]

He never had a bad word to say about us. Real shame.

 

[Burns]

You can still survive stage 4 and hope he does. What a footballer and the Mags under him played some tremendously entertaining football

 

[Cyprus]

He’s a legend. Lot of respect for the guy. Didn’t he win the earlier version of the Ballon d’or twice? What a player. Can only imagine how much he’d cost in today’s market!

Bleak time when we had Buxton and they were competing. Couldn't dislike the bloke as he never took cheap shots or make snidey comments.

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

Awful.

 

[SPUFF]

He came up with a belting quote when in a wages dispute…

“If you dont know what you’re worth, you’re worth nothing at all!”

Shit. That's bad news

 

[SPUFF]

Actually Im wrong

“If you dont know what you’re worth, nobody else will”

Classic.

Shows how you been be a top star and still be a decent person.
