It has been a few days since Kevin Keegan passed away and I wanted to add a bit more following the post from a couple of days ago.
The Sun had a really cool tribute to Kevin Keegan on Tuesday. It had him on the front and back pages but there was also a twelve-page special inside.
At least a couple of the articles were written by Ian Ridley, who authored a biography about Keegan a few years ago. I found that book quite enjoyable.
Speaking of bios - I own a signed copy of Keegan's 1997 autobiography. However, it's not signed by the author!
To cut a long and very random story short, my Dad helped out Ray Wilkins one weekend, when Ray was in town working for Sky Sports. He asked if I'd like anything signed. The only thing I could think of was there was a photo of Keegan and Wilkins inside the book, so I gave my father the book for Ray to sign the following day.
Returning to the past few days, it has been touching to see everybody talk so fondly of Kevin Keegan. It's unsurprising, however. He always came across as a class act.
Seeing, and hearing, all this respect to Keegan has taken me back. It was such a wonderful time to be alive during that era.
