'A special manager' - your memories of Keegan

sports.yahoo.com · 2 days ago

John: I have great memories of Kevin Keegan's Championship title promotion season, establishing City in the Premier League, and of his tremendous impact on the direction and ambition of the entire club during his time as manager. A true great as a player, and a special manager who did so much to revive sleeping giants, Newcastle, Fulham and Manchester City. People may see his period as City manager as a footnote in his wonderful career, but his four years at City were as entertaining as it gets.

sports.yahoo.com · 2 days ago

Kevin Keegan's management trademark was all-out, thrilling attack, with his former Liverpool and Newcastle team-mate Terry McDermott at his side and charismatic chairman Sir John Hall shaping the off-field strategy.

A pioneer and a superstar, Kevin Keegan’s achievements were extraordinary

theguardian.com · 3 days ago

The former England manager may be remembered by many for his ‘I’d love it’ rant in 1996, but that should not obscure the remarkable nature of his football careerKevin Keegan, who has died aged 75, is the only British player to win the Ballon d’Or twice, was the star of Liverpool’s first European Cup-winning team, a messianic figure at Newcastle United as a player and coach, forging a team so memorable that Fifa’s president wrote to commend him, and was the captain and then manager of the England men’s national team. And yet, as Keegan would ruefully reflect, he will principally be remembered by many for an emotional outburst that precipitated Newcastle’s historic failure in a Premier League title race, a TV interview which presaged the coming era of the modern game.Keegan’s “I’d love it” rant of April 1996, directed at Alex Ferguson, became a meme before the modern meaning of the word and social media even existed, repeatedly played on Sky Sports and becoming indelibly marked in the minds of multiple generations, many not even born when it occurred. It frequently tops polls as the most memorable moment in Premier League history and foreshadowed an era where digital clips and personality narratives would dominate football coverage.

Mikel Arteta's histrionics need to stop as well - just win graciously. Kevin: Oh yes, change is absolutely required... it's not like they were good enough to win the Premier League or get to the Champions League final and get narrowly beaten by a team everyone thought would be a level above them, is it? Arsenal are in that sweet spot where they have been so good, for so long, that everyone is coming out of the woodwork to tell them how bad they are.

theguardian.com · 2 months ago

In a rare interview, the businessman discusses football, his ownership of the Azovstal steelworks and why he is optimistic about the futureIt is the morning after Russia’s heaviest aerial raid on Kyiv in several months. At least 25 people have been killed and, as always, those emerging from a sleepless night are the lucky ones. Rinat Akhmetov is at the end of a paved driveway half an hour from the city centre. Shakhtar Donetsk’s owner rarely gives interviews and his whereabouts have been a subject of conjecture during the war.But he is here in Ukraine, speaking to mark the 90th anniversary of a club whose tribulations over the past dozen years have been unmatched. It is 30 years since Akhmetov, the richest person in Ukraine and arguably eastern Europe’s most influential businessman, became president of Shakhtar. The club has been a labour of love, the straightforward face of a career whose complexities beyond football have been widely documented. Akhmetov’s influence spreads across the country and beyond, most visibly in the form of places such as Azovstal, the iron and steelworks that became symbolic of a country’s resilience in 2022.
