He is mainly remembered for his successful spell with Liverpool, where he won 3 First Division titles, 2 UEFA Cups, one FA Cup and 1 European Cup. He also clinched the Ballon d'Or twice after transferring to Hamburg in 1977, which is why he deserves a worthy place on this list.

In his playing days, Kevin Keegan was well-known as a lethal goalscorer. He had a ferocious will to win, which made him one of the best players to wear the captain's armband in the history of the Three Lions.

Following his successful career as a footballer, Keegan had a decent spell as a manager. He guided Newcastle United, Manchester City and Fulham to Second Division titles. His high point in his managerial career came in the season 1995-96 when he guided Newcastle to a second place finish in the English top-tier.

Off the pitch, Keegan displayed the versatility of his talents by releasing several singles, all while maintaining his status as one of the best players of his generation.
