Summary

A true Liverpool FC legend is the special guest of our latest Blood Red spin-off podcast.Kevin Keegan was back in the city last week to promote his new autobiography, My Life in Football, and Paul Wheelock caught up him with him after a signing session.They talked Keegan’s six-year Liverpool career, which saw him win three First Division titles, two UEFA Cups, one FA Cup, and in his final game in a Red shirt, the European Cup, which was to prove to be the first of five for the club.Keegan gives an insight into the motivational magnificence of the manager who signed him at Anfield, the great Bill Shankly, and how the power of the Liverpool shirt inspired him to become a better player than he, and anyone else, had expected.Paul also asks the former England manager what Shankly would have made of current Reds boss Klopp – and the answer is worth listening to the podcast alone.Keegan also discusses the similarities between Klopp’s team and his own Newcastle United sides of the 90s and why lifting the first trophy – the First Division and UEFA Cup wins of ’73 kick-started a glorious, trophy-laden era for Liverpool – is the hardest thing to do.
