I know LinkedIn is supposed to be about business, but I’m absolutely gutted to learn of Kevin Keegan’s passing. A true legend. I first met him in 1995 when I was serving his table at Gosforth Park at the Black and White Ball. He was an absolute superstar at the time - but was also an extremely nice bloke who seemed really genuine. They say never meet your heroes, but that didn’t apply to him. RIP King Kev, Special K, England captain, Liverpool legend, Newcastle legend, double ballon d’or winner, or however else you might care to remember him.
