Keegan was quite simply THE footballing superstar of the Seventies.
With his famous 'bubble' perm, the Yorkshire-born striker was an icon both for Liverpool and England. 'Robbery with violence' was how Bill Shankly described the capture of Keegan from Scunthorpe for a measly £35,000.
The attention which came his way wasn't without merit, for Keegan was a dynamic attacking force who can take much of the credit for the trophies which arrived at Anfield between 1971 and 1977.
Two UEFA Cups, three league titles, a European and FA Cup and a tally of 100 goals: the number seven left the Kop with a multitude of magical memories.
'Mighty Mouse' as he was affectionately known was fatter than Sammy Lee at his most rotund and Kevin 'Mighty' Mouse wasn't your average footballer. He played part-time for Tottenford Rovers and spent his days at St Victor's Hospital, where he was a medical student. Proud stomach, oversized National Health glasses and fat bottom belied his surprising speed and nimble feet. Mouse possessed a vicious swerving shot that almost bent at right angles. He played out his career at Glengow Rangers in Roy of the Rovers .
