"A marvellous tribute to one of the great characters of English football . This charming book, as light and delightful as a soufflé, is a supremely enjoyable portrait [.] Pleasingly erudite, Quinn has a liberal splattering of footnotes all of which are witty and sardonic." -Times "Anthony Quinn's slim, funny, beguiling biography is full of vignettes that illuminate Keegan." - FT Weekend "Fascinating.[Keegan] was the best footballer of his generation." - Observer "Quinn writes beautifully and effortlessly and this short little book is a pleasure to read. Pleasingly erudite, Quinn has a liberal splattering of footnotes all of which are witty and sardonic.

" - Sunday Times "Keegan had a career of two halves. Dripping in trophies and plaudits as a player, he wore a "halo of failure" in the dugout, missing out on a title that was his to win at Newcastle and leaving the England job with a whimper. Novelist Quinn digs into King Kev's steeliness and money-minded approach in this engaging biography." - Telegraph, 'Best Books of 2025' "A quirky, freewheeling and riotously entertaining yomp through the life of Kevin Keegan, one of the great forgotten figures of English football." - Irish Times, 'Best Books of 2025' Praise for Klopp : "An elegiac memoir [and] a love letter to the great man himself." - The Times "Delightful.perfectly captures the man's endearing likeability." - Mail on Sunday "A lively and highly engaging read, Quinn's warm, conversational prose digressing into comparisons with the pop star heroes of his youth (David Bowie, Marc Bolan) as well as classic film"- When Saturday Comes.
