Sad news. An iconic player and a manager who played the game totally different to anyone else at the time. If Newcastle had won the league that year, football might have gone in a different direction. He was never the same as a manager after then. |  |

Very sad news.
Great memories of the Keegan/Toshack combination at Liverpool.
One of the first players i recall venturing overseas to Hamburg.
His stint on Superstars and the advert with Henry Cooper re the brut aftershave hark back to a happier time.
Played and managed with his heart on his sleeve at all times, gave all for whoever he played for.

Did he ever visit Spotland as a player or manager? |  |

Played at Spotland for Scunthorpe on the opening day of the 1968/69 season I think.
Dale won 3-2.
Brought Manchester City for a preseason friendly too. [Post edited 20 Jul 22:12]

He never played for Scunthorpe at Spotland. His debut for them was 5 weeks after the opening day of the 1968/69 season.
He played in the return fixture at the Old Showground, but by the time we faced Scunthorpe again, Keegan was with Liverpool. [Post edited 20 Jul 23:17]

Elite? No.
Heavyweight poster? No.
Able to be rational and not over-react to individual results? Yes. |

Yeah I remember KK been the manager for City for the pre season friendly. The reason for the game was City playing a few local sides to help financially due to the collapse of the ITV football thing | | | |

That was the game in which Chris Shuker played really well for City I think.
I seem to remember Richard Jobson being given a great reception by the City fans. | | | |

Aye, Paul Dickov I think. |  |
| Anyone seen ‘Trev’? Is he off playing golf with Duffy? |

He did. Sadly he brought Paul Dickov with him and finished Gary Brown's career. It was a good turnout and he let Rochdale keep all the takings as a gesture of goodwill.
I had lunch with him once. Nice guy who could remember almost every game, the result, and every goal he scored. Almost photographic a memory around football. But had almost no knowledge of the world around him. He really was fully immersed in the game. The Man City players loved him. | | | |
