Kevin Keegan: a series of unfortunate events
Added 2025-12-02 07:00:07 +0000 UTCThe name Kevin Keegan should conjure images of glittering European nights, mazy dribbles and Balon d’Or wins.
But for most people, football’s unluckiest icon is remembered for four words: I WOULD LOVE IT.
And he’s had plenty of bad luck.
He was beaten up by drug dealers, discovered Father Christmas’ lifeless corpse, and got shot in the face with a bow and arrow.
From undercover gigolos to getting banged up in Serbia, this is his story…

2025-12-02 13:18:49 +0000 UTCGood ep lads. Apparently he went back to Newcastle the second time cos he was skint. He put millions into ‘Kevin Keegan’s Soccer Circus’ at this shopping/activity centre in Glasgow and it didn’t do very well. It was quite a cool idea, kind of like a game show type of setup but with football challenges. I think the plan was to be a high tech training place but ended up just being a birthday party place for kids.
