This biography reveals the private person behind the public facade of Kevin Keegan - captain of England and twice voted European Footballer of the Year. It concentrates on his time at Newcastle, both as a player in 1982-83, when with the help of Paul Gascoigne and Chris Waddle he helped the Geordies gain promotion to the First Division; and again as manager in 1991-92 to save them from relegation, and with a transformed side, lead from the front a season later in the race for a place in the new Premier League. He is being tipped as a possible future England manager. John Moynihan is the author of The Soccer Syndrome.
