Former England player and manager, Kevin Keegan, has died at the age of 75.

Earlier in January 2026, it was revealed that Keegan had been diagnosed with stage four cancer.

His family announced at the time that he was set to begin treatment.

Last month, Keegan, while speaking at an event in Newcastle, said he was responding well to treatment.

A statement from the family read: “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.

“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.”
