It has taken quite a few months attempting to write this and then a while deciding whether to publish it. This is something mum encouraged me to do although she did joke 'don't go on and write too much rubbish' - a concept I might have struggled with x leeds-live.co.uk/news/uk-wor…

Everyone at Manchester City is devastated to learn our former manager Kevin Keegan has passed away, aged 75. Kevin was a transformative manager who brought optimism and vibrancy to City during his four-year spell in charge. The promotion campaign in 2001/02 will never be forgotten, and Kevin then established us once again as a top Premier League side in the years that followed. Our thoughts are with Kevin’s family and friends at this very difficult time.
