Joseph Kevin Keegan, OBE is a former English football manager and is regarded as one of the all-time greatest British football players. At every club that he managed, he won promotion as champions in his first season; and he is the only Englishman to be named European Footballer of the Year twice.

Outside football, in 1976, Keegan competed in the BBC's television programme Superstars. Despite suffering severe cuts after crashing his bicycle, he insisted on re-racing and secured second place in the event, before going on to win that edition of the programme. He also advertised Brut aftershave alongside boxing legend Henry Cooper.

Keegan was made an Inaugural Inductee of the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his impact on the English game as both a player and manager.
