Kevin Keegan wore his heart on his sleeve throughout his career as both a player and a manager, earning the admiration of supporters wherever he went.
The former England forward, who died of cancer at 75, blended infectious charisma with fearless passion and a knack for delivering in the biggest moments. Despite his success, he never forgot his roots or lost sight of what football meant to ordinary fans.
"The fans made me," Keegan, affectionately nicknamed "Mighty Mouse" during his time at Liverpool, once said.
"When they started singing my name ... what am I? Five foot seven in Cuban-heeled boots. But because of them, I felt six foot six."
