Former England player and manager Kevin Keegan has died at the age of 75, his family have confirmed.
Keegan's family have released a statement confirming his passing, after it had been announced earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
"It is with immense sadness that we announce that Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75. The former England player and manager had been battling cancer and was surrounded by his wife and daughters in his final moments," the statement said.
"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."
Keegan was one of the most prominent figures in English football during his playing and managerial careers. He won a wealth of major honours with Liverpool, including three league titles and the 1977 European Cup.
The forward, who scored 21 times in 63 caps for England, moved to Hamburg in a British record deal after that European Cup win and twice won the Ballon d'Or with the German side. He remains the only Englishman to have won the Ballon d'Or on multiple occasions.
Keegan also represented Scunthorpe, Southampton and Newcastle United, before moving into management.
He spent time in charge of Newcastle, Fulham, Manchester City, and England, winning three Football League promotions during his coaching career.
