So did I it was 1971RIP Kevin,
I remember being impressed with him when he played for Scunthorpe at GP.
"Goals pay the rent and Keegan gets his share" - classic Coleman commentaryProbably the first really recognisable player for me after the 1974 FA Cup final. Was everybody's favourite player when it didn't matter quite so much who they played for.
There must be a clip of that somwhere surely.RIP Kevin. Always struck me as a thoroughly decent human being who wore his heart on his sleeve.
A personal memory of him was when he was being interviewed at the entrance to the tunnel at Wembley following the win against Hungary in Nov 81 that took us to the World Cup finals in 82. I threw my Brentford scarf at him, which hit him and fell to the floor. He picked it up and put it around his neck and wore it for the remainder of the interview![]()
The clip of his bike crash still appears often enough on social mediaStrangely have as much memory of him in Superstars as I did him playing football.
Searched before with no luck. Chat GPT has done a deep search and can't find anything. It suggests I approach various archives with a specific requestThere must be a clip of that somwhere surely.
I was a bit too young to see him at his footballing best. But I'll always remember him crashing his bike on a cinder track, while wearing a vest, on Superstars. Can't imagine a club letting that happen now!
RIP Kevin
