From the author of Klopp - My Liverpool Romance, another funny and insightful look at one of Britain's greatest and strangest football figures.

A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, DAILY TELEGRAPH, FT AND IRISH TIMES

'A marvellous tribute to one of the great characters of English football.' The Times

From the author of Klopp, a funny and insightful look at one of Britain's greatest and strangest football greats.

He was stranger than he knew - than any of us knew.

England captain. Mercurial competitor. Pop star manqu©. The Face of Brut 33. Pioneer of the footballers' perm. Twice winner of the Ballon d'Or. Kevin Keegan owned the 1970s. We had never seen his like before. There appeared to be nothing he could fail at.

Tracking his career from youth-team player at Scunthorpe to the England manager's job, by way of Liverpool, Newcastle and Hamburg, Keegan considers the extravagant highs of a football man who touched the game with genius, who was never sacked and who came within an ace of triumph as a manager. A story of almost and maybe, of excellence and of failure, it is a story too, perhaps, of the fans' quixotic search for a messiah.

Praise for Klopp:
'An elegiac memoir [and] a love letter to the great man himself.' The Times
'Delightful . . . perfectly captures the man's endearing likeability.' Mail on Sunday
