I’ll never forget walking home from school and my Liverpool supporting friend saying he’d signed for us. Southampton. He met with Lawrie McMenemy at a local restaurant,the potters Heron, and was convinced to join us.

one of my biggest footballing heroes joined us. It was magical seeing him play for us week in,week out.
what side we had. 
And he was fantastic. Sad day to hear this.

I was ski-ing in Italy and received the news on a ski lift from a couple of Watford fans that Kevin Keegan had signed for Saints.
I thought it was a wind up until I was able to get hold of a Daily Mail the following day (no mobile phones in those days)
What a player!!
If we had been able to get hold of Peter Shilton a year earlier, I reckon we could have won the League and/or FA Cup.

I was at work at Vosper Thorneycroft when I heard Kevin had signed for Saints, I thought it was a wind up as well,

It was world news European footballer of the year joining Saints.

Sadly he left under a cloud. He was in the Echo asking for us to buy season tickets and was going to be here, but then moved to Newcastle.

I remember walking home from junior school in Portchester & the lollipop man telling us.

Hassled my Dad & got my first Saints season ticket that season.

I was on my evening paper-round delivering the Echo when I heard he signed. 

Hope he makes a complete recovery.

An amazing day when he signed for us. Totally unexpected. Everyone walking around in a daze and not believing it until it was the first item on the 6 o'clock news. He was a force of nature on the pitch and turned us into a big time club. I was there for the bicycle kick goal that never was.

I hope he can beat this awful disease that strikes at random.
