A shrine to Kevin Keegan continues to grow outside the South West Corner of St.James' Park.
Statement from the Keegan family, Monday 20th July 2026:
"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."

The first four photos below feature a solitary Magpie watching over proceedings. I only had my cameraphone with me at the time so the shots are not great quality but you get the idea.
