The former England and Liverpool footballer and manager of England, Kevin Keegan OBE, is to host the Meat Management Meat Industry Awards ceremony this year, which takes place on 9th September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole.
Keegan’s impressive career included time at Liverpool, Hamburg, Southampton and Newcastle. Kevin also captained England for six years until his international retirement after the 1982 World Cup. As a manager, Kevin Keegan was in charge at Newcastle, Fulham, Manchester City and of course, England.
He joined Liverpool in 1971 and went on to win three First Division titles, two UEFA Cups, the FA Cup and the European Cup during his six years at the club. From Liverpool, Kevin joined Hamburger SV and secured further honours, winning the Bundesliga title and reaching the European Cup final.
Voted European Footballer of the Year in both 1978 and 1979, his return to UK football came at Southampton where he spent two seasons before joining Newcastle United of the Second Division, helping them gain promotion and finally retiring as a player in 1984. He was capped 63 times for England, scoring 21 international goals.
Publisher of Meat Management magazine Graham Yandell commented: “I know that Kevin is a much sought after speaker and will be great value for our guests. Whether you are a football fan or not, I know everyone will enjoy hearing Kevin and for me, working with such an iconic figure, it is just brilliant.”
