Respects paid to Kevin Keegan at Liverpool friendly with Sunderland

It was announced on Monday that the legendary former Reds forward had died, following a cancer diagnosis, aged 75.

Keegan was an era-defining player across his six years at Anfield from 1971 to 1977 – a spell that included 100 goals in 323 appearances.

Part of Bill Shankly’s second great Liverpool team, he helped the club lift a first European trophy with the UEFA Cup success of 1973.

There were three league titles and an FA Cup, too, before he signed off with European Cup glory in Rome in 1977.

A two-time Ballon d’Or winner at next club Hamburg, Keegan’s colourful playing and managerial careers ensured he was loved everywhere he went.

On Saturday in Nashville, players wore black armbands as a mark of respect, tributes were displayed and an applause conducted.
