We had the priviledge of working with Kevin throughout the history of the company. To say he was a gentleman doesn't come close. Witty, engaging and someone who always gave everyone time.
I once told him he really didn't have to stay until the bitter end of an event to do selfies/autographs with people (it was gone midnight by this time) and he corrected me "...when I was an apprentice, one of my heroes was playing against he club I was at and he brushed me off when I asked for an autograph. I was crest fallen, and promised myself that if I ever became famous I would never leave a fan feeling like that".
As I say, a true gentleman and someone I felt proud to call a friend. I'll miss calls coming in on my phone, and flashing up "KK"...it always amused him I was JJ and he was KK. He always ended conversations with "God Bless".
RIP Mate, God Bless.

"Kevin Keegan was absolutely outstanding, and we are not saying this lightly! We are all still talking about him and will be for years to come... he blew us all away with his presence.... such an honour to have him as our guest speaker for the event."
"Thanks to Kevin for all of his hard work last night. The guests LOVED him and would not leave him alone. All night he was friendly and chatty with all of the guests, no matter how much they talked to him. He assisted with the awards, which there were many, and did not complain once! He was star, and I was hoping you would pass on my thanks to him for the night." DBMT/Rentokil Guild of Technicians Event - February 2016
"I must say pre booking I was a little nervous about booking Kevin as I am not a football fan! JJ assured me that he would be fantastic, and he wasn't wrong. Kevin was one of the best after dinner speakers that I have had the pleasure to watch. But not only that, he engaged with all my guests, was very happy for photos to be taken and there were lots of them! He was funny, charismatic, sociable, flexible and a damn good speaker. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him top guy and a great speaker!" In2Global Event Director on Kevin at the Intrarail Awards
"Kevin was a dream and a roaring success! He was a perfect choice of speaker for our guests. Kevin did a fantastic job and it was really special to have him mingling with all of the guests throughout dinner and also after dinner. You could tell how much our guests admired him. Kevin worked really hard and was a pleasure to work with he went above and beyond! He stayed for hours taking photos and signing photographs. We couldn't be happier with Kevin." DBMT's praise for Kevin at the Rentokil Guild of Technicians Event
"Feedback was tremendous. The service was slow and the running order affected and yet despite going on to close the evening, at 11.30pm, Kevin did not complain once and could hear a pin drop in the room. Very well received and in 20 years of running this event client put Kevin in his top 3 speakers of all time." After dinner speech at the Annual Make A Dream Fundraising Dinner
