Episode Details

In 1971, young Liverpool star Kevin Keegan caused a frenzy when he visited a local sports shop in Bromborough, drawing hundreds of kids who swarmed his car and flooded the store—so much so that kids were even made to buy penny packets just to get a glimpse. Despite the chaos, Keegan remained calm and gracious, a stark contrast to today’s stars. Margaret Sumner, who witnessed it all, recalls his funny anecdote about meeting Bill Shankly, who answered the door with a rissole on his fork and a handkerchief in his collar. The shop owner gifted them pullovers—a humble gesture compared to modern endorsements. Now 88, Margaret reflects on Keegan’s talent and mourns his passing, remembering him as a true football legend.
