The extraordinary story of football legend, Kevin Keegan – the phenomenal Sunday Times bestseller

‘The Pied Piper of Tyneside’ – Alan Shearer

My Life in Football is the unforgettable autobiography of one of the greatest players in English football history. It spans from Keegan’s humble beginnings at the Peglers Brass Works reserve team in Doncaster to helping Liverpool become the kings of Europe, captaining England and becoming the only Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or twice.

As a manager, Keegan's five-year spell in charge at Newcastle was legendary; he led the club from the depths of the old Second Division to the brink of the Premier League title with a breathtaking vision and flamboyant style that saw his team dubbed 'The Entertainers'.

Fifty years since making his professional debut, Keegan tells the full story of the exhilarating highs and excruciating lows, from that epic battle with Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United in the 1995-6 season, as well as the pain of managing England and, finally, the shattering truth about his unhappy return to Newcastle in the controversial Mike Ashley era.

Written with passion, humour and brutal honesty, My Life in Football offers a rare insight into the trials, tribulations and triumphs that defined a life and legacy. A must-read for all football enthusiasts, this is the story of the miner's son from Doncaster who became a superstar.

This is the story of 'King Kev'.

‘Everything a man should be’ – Bill Shankly, former Liverpool manager

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Kevin Keegan, OBE, born in 1951, was a former football player and manager for teams such as Liverpool and Hamburger SV. As a player, he was best known for a legendary 1970s spell at Liverpool under Bill Shankly then Bob Paisley. In six seasons Keegan played a pivotal role in Liverpool winning three First Division titles, two Uefa Cups, a European Cup and an FA Cup. He left an indelible mark on the club and their fans by winning the Bundesliga and European Cup in his three years there. He also won the highly coveted Ballon D’Or, twice, while in Germany.

His ten-year England career, in which he captained his country thirty-one times, brought sixty-three caps and twenty-one goals, but only one, brief World Cup finals appearance. His book, My Life in Football, written with the Guardian and Observer's chief football writer Daniel Taylor, examines his illustrious football career.
