Fan-led crowdfunder launched for statue to honour Kevin Keegan

FSA members the Iron Trust at Scunthorpe United have launched a crowd-funder for a statue of Kevin Keegan, who began his career at the North Lincolnshire club. The Iron Trust explain more…

We are raising funds to commemorate the great, late, Kevin Keegan, following the sad news of his passing on the 20th July, aged 75, with a people’s memorial and statue to be located in Scunthorpe, the home of the Iron, the club at which Kevin began his football career.

Kevin left Scunthorpe United for Liverpool in 1971, and went on to play for Hamburg SV, Southampton and his beloved Newcastle United.

Kevin’s career would reach even greater heights with 63 caps for England and two Ballon d’Or wins.

“People think that the club that made me was Liverpool, but the club that really made me was Scunthorpe United.” – Kevin Keegan

The Iron Trust invites fans of Scunthorpe United, Hamburg SV, Southampton and Newcastle, as well as football fans around the world, to donate towards a lasting memorial at the birthplace of King Kev’s extraordinary football career.
