'I'm proud of it' - Keegan looks back on career highlights and legacy

What the report says

BBC Sport Football has published a retrospective video featuring Kevin Keegan speaking with Football Focus presenter Dan Walker in 2018 about major moments from his life in football. According to the BBC description, the conversation revisits Keegan’s career milestones, including being named World Player of the Year twice, his period as England manager and one of the Premier League’s most memorable media moments.

The clip highlights Keegan’s reflections on the famous “I would love it” remark from the 1995–96 season, when his Newcastle United side were involved in a high-profile title race. The BBC page frames the interview around Keegan’s career highlights and legacy, and lists Liverpool, Newcastle United, England Men’s Football Team and football more broadly as related topics.

The supplied BBC text also includes a link headed “Newcastle, Liverpool and England legend Keegan dies,” though it does not provide further details in the excerpt about the circumstances, timing or official announcements connected to that report. The available article text is therefore mainly a pointer to an archival interview rather than a full written obituary.

Keegan is widely associated with several major roles in English football: as a celebrated Liverpool forward, a transformative figure at Newcastle and later as manager of both Newcastle and England. The BBC’s use of the 2018 interview offers viewers a first-person look at how he assessed his achievements, public image and lasting place in the game.
