Former England and Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan has been diagnosed with cancer, according to a statement from his family released on Wednesday.

The statement, shared by Newcastle, read: “Kevin Keegan was recently admitted to hospital for further evaluation of ongoing abdominal symptoms.

“These investigations have revealed a diagnosis of cancer, for which Kevin will undergo treatment.

“Kevin is grateful to the medical team for their intervention and ongoing care.

“During this difficult time, the family are requesting privacy, and will be making no further comment.”

Newcastle wished Keegan, 74, “a full and speedy recovery” on X, adding: “King Kev, we’re with you every step of the way.”

Keegan was signed for Liverpool by Bill Shankly in 1971, winning the English league title three times and the 1977 European Cup during his time at the club.

He signed for Hamburg in 1977 and was twice named European footballer of the year during his spell at the German club.

Keegan returned to England to play for Southampton and Newcastle.

He won 63 England caps, scoring 21 goals, and also captained the team.

In 1992, Keegan joined Newcastle as manager and they came close to winning the Premier League in 1995/96, only to miss out to Manchester United.

He then managed Fulham before becoming England boss in 1999, but he resigned the following year, a few months after a disappointing Euro 2000 campaign.

Keegan had a spell as Manchester City manager before making an emotional but short-lived return to Newcastle in 2008.

The search for Nancy Guthrie has moved from the streets of Arizona to the driveway of her own son-in-law. Authorities have seized Tommaso Cioni’s car for forensic processing after blood evidence at the home raised red flags that could no longer be ignored. Sources say the mood on the ground has shifted from ‘search and rescue’ to ‘homicide investigation.’ As the timeline tightens around the family, the 6th-grade teacher is now standing at the center of a storm. Is the truth hidden in the DNA of that impounded car?
The net is closing in on Tommaso Cioni. New reports suggest that Savannah Guthrie’s brother-in-law is now a prime suspect after a dark secret emerged—a massive, unpaid gambling debt that has been haunting his finances. Being the last person to have contact with the 84-year-old mother before she vanished, his ‘calm’ demeanor is now being viewed through a much darker lens. Law enforcement is ‘looking at everyone,’ but the trail of money leads straight to a potential motive for abduction.
BREAKING: 🚨 Investigators have found the missing link in the Sullivan case. A gas station surveillance video from May 1st has exposed a massive lie in Daniel Martell’s statement.
