My Life in Football by Kevin Keegan
The autobiography of the iconic, hugely influential and well-loved former English football player and manager.People are saying Kevin Keegan leaving is like the Queen dying, but it's worse than that -- John Regan, secretary of the Newcastle Independent Supporters' Association

No other player in the world - not even Pele or Maradona - could have rejuvenated Tyneside the way Kevin Keegan has done -- Jackie Millburn, Newcastle legend
Kevin Keegan’s glittering career includes domestic and European glory with Liverpool and Hamburg and leaves him as the only English footballer in history to win the Ballon d’Or twice.
As a player, Keegan’s six years at Liverpool included three league championships, the European Cup, two UEFA Cups and the FA Cup before leaving Anfield in 1977 to cement his superstar status with Hamburg, leading them to a Bundesliga title and a European Cup final.
Keegan captained the England national team and won the Golden Boot at Southampton before finishing his playing career in dramatic style at Newcastle United, the club he later transformed in his now-legendary spell as manager.
Famously, Keegan guided Newcastle from near-extinction to the brink of a Premier League title, playing a style of football that earned them the nickname of The Entertainers and featuring the never-forgotten 1995–6 championship chase with Manchester United. He went on to manage England, in between spells at Fulham and Manchester City, and later returned to Newcastle, desperately hoping he could bring success to the city that knew him as the Messiah.
