Former England captain and manager Kevin Keegan has revealed he has stage four cancer.
The illness made known by the family in January
His family announced his illness in January, after the 75-year-old underwent “further tests for persistent abdominal symptoms”.
Since then, the world of football has rallied around the two-time European Ballon d’Or winner, a striker of the 1970s.
His career between clubs and the English national team
Keegan played for Scunthorpe United, Liverpool, Hamburg, Southampton and Newcastle during his distinguished career.
He later coached Newcastle, Fulham, the English national team and Manchester City.
Success also in music
He also released several pop singles, including “Head Over Heels in Love”, which reached number 31 in the UK charts in 1979.
