Former England captain, Liverpool legend, and two-time Ballon d'Or winner Kevin Keegan has died at the age of 75. He was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer earlier this year.

"It is with profound sadness that we announce Kevin Keegan has died at the age of 75. His wife and daughters were by his side in his final moments," read a family statement released to Sky UK.
Keegan was one of the biggest stars in Liverpool's history. He played 322 matches for the club, scoring 100 goals, and became an English champion three times.
From 1977 to 1980, the footballer played for German club Hamburg, with whom he won the Bundesliga. It was during this period that Keegan twice received the prestigious Ballon d'Or award — in 1978 and 1979, he was named the best footballer in Europe.
After ending his playing career, Keegan worked as a coach. He managed Newcastle United, Fulham, Manchester City, and the England national team.
Fans of Liverpool and Hamburg called him "King Kev" and "Mighty Mouse". Keegan remains in football history as one of the brightest English players of his generation.
