Good on him/them - though I suspect it’s a bit of pissing into the wind and that the champions league final will indeed have an utterly crap half time show within a few years.
6m-Keegan was quite vocal about the poor pay at Liverpool and moved for the money. Tony Woodcock(Cologne)and Trevor Francis(Sampdoria)from the same England team of the time also cashed in

Keegan came across as one of life’s genuine good guys. A big ego, yes, but a positive one. [Link] They don’t make them like him anymore.

Great days.
England v Argentina had a few very dodgy things going on. But the most dodgy is FIFA made no effort to take action over their own political message ban before the final. Plenty of time to have banned players. Will they even do it now?

Probably AI slop I suspect but we do need a blitz of yellow cards for players other than the captain haranguing the referee.

Argentina have always been suspected of or associated with trying to influence the outcome of their games. Cruyff didn't go with Holland to Argentina in 1978 because of death threats to him and his family. That whole tournament felt rigged, especially the Peru game. They are equally ungracious in victory and defeat, going back to 1966. I often wonder is it threats or bribery with them. My guess is the former.

If they just played the game like others they are not too bad a side but their ingrained nastiness soon takes over. Horrible country.
pete - some of the decisions in that game just felt plain wrong, especially that Messi stamp and the forearm to the back of Anderson’s head going totally unpunished, completely inexplicable other than that the ref had been told…

I heard a commentator say, after Argentina's manager substituted a forward for a defender and then they needed to score a goal, that he had "Tucheled" himself. I knew exactly what he meant. I think a new term has just entered the football vocabulary.

Sad news about Kevin Keegan. One of England's superstars in the 1970s when I was growing up, albeit in a very mediocre England team. One of the few brave and good enough to play abroad at that time.
Sad about Keegan - great player, cancer is a c*nt :(

Stephen Fry once said on QI that he loved Sainsbury’s as it kept the scum out of Waitrose.

Guess which supermarket Mr Fry is now doing voice-overs for?
Keegan played for 26 minutes in World Cup finals and 3 matches in the Euros. No goals in either. Any England fan around at the time won't forget that header v Spain in 82.

That classifies as disappointing for someone who won the Ballon d'Or twice.
Saw an old mock the week clip and they did the tannoy messages you wouldn’t hear thing. Rob Beckett did a rant one about Waitrose shoppers being rich wankers. Funny that cos some years back I saw him shopping with his wife and kids in Bromley in guess which shop

CW - they probably mean just in terms of trophies. You're right - he was brilliant for England.

Just said on Sky that Keegans international career was something of a disappointment!! He was Englands best player for years
