The footballing world is in mourning following the sad passing of Kevin Keegan.

The former Manchester City manager died at the age of 75 and flags around the Etihad Stadium will fly at half-mast in honour of the ex-England international.

A fantastic footballer for Scunthorpe, Liverpool, Hamburg, Southampton and Newcastle, he then embarked on a highly successful managerial career.

After leading the Magpies back to the top-flight, he would oversee Fulham before the England national team between 1999 and 2000.

Then to the Blues from 2001 to 2005 where he more than made his mark in Manchester.

Those privileged to witness City’s 2001/02 Division One promotion campaign under Keegan’s tutelage will have strong memories of ‘The Entertainers’ of the second tier that term.

Not only did we win championship with 99 points, but it also marked a return to the Premier League where we have remained ever since while reaching the pinnacle of domestic and European football.

One of the most iconic and revered figures in English football, the thoughts of everyone at Manchester City are with Kevin’s family and friends.
