**Liverpool legend Kevin Keegan has died at the age of 75.**
Keegan enjoyed a success-laden spell at Anfield after signing from Scunthorpe United in 1971 as part of Bill Shankly’s second great side.
The forward dubbed ‘Mighty Mouse’ struck up a formidable partnership with John Toshack that saw him score 100 goals in 323 appearances for the Reds.
He won three league championships, the European Cup, two UEFA Cups and the FA Cup in a six-year period until leaving for Hamburg in summer 1977.
Keegan claimed back-to-back Ballon d’Or awards before returning to England for stints with Southampton and Newcastle, where he later became manager.
He became immortalised during two spell in charge at St James’ Park twice in addition to spells overseeing the national team, Fulham and Manchester City.
In January, Keegan revealed that he was undergoing treatment for cancer which his family confirmed on Monday had sadly claimed his life.
“It is with immense sadness that we announce that Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75,” read a family statement.
“The former England player and manager had been battling cancer and was surrounded by his wife and daughters in his final moments.
“Kevin, a double Ballon D’Or winner, was a much loved husband, father and grandfather.
“The family would like to thank Kevin’s incredible medical team for all their support.
“This is a hugely difficult time and they are requesting space and privacy.”
