1971 – Keegan Signs For Liverpool
WHEN you think of football in the seventies, big hair and Bill Shankly’s great Liverpool side are two of the abiding memories. It was on this day in 1971 that the two of these collided, as Kevin Keegan made his debut for the Reds. Read all about it here.
JASPER Carrot once famously said: “I hear Glenn Hoddle’s found God . . . that must have been one hell of a pass.”
It really is a pity footballer’s careers only last until their mid-thirties, especially in Hoddle’s case. Where once he simply let his football do the talking and was lauded as a genius, his body eventually forced him to give up playing, and he moved into management where suddenly he had to let his, umm, talking do the talking, and everyone realised any talk of genius was just barking.
Glenn was in trouble again today in 1998 after the serialisation of his ill-advised book Glenn Hoddle: My 1998 World Cup Story was published in The Sun, and he was forced to defend his tome on BBC Five Live. Click here for the whole story.
