Our 2025 event was hosted by the incredibly passionate and renowned communicator Kevin Keegan, one of the most recognisable faces in British football.
An illustrious playing career included time at Liverpool, Hamburg, Southampton and Newcastle as well as the national side, captaining England for six years until his international retirement after the 1982 World Cup.
As a manager he held the reins at Newcastle, Fulham, Manchester City and England.
​
A highly respected and credible broadcaster, Keegan was signed by ESPN in 2009 to be the Lead Analyst for their Premier League coverage in the UK. He also travelled to the FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa to broadcast for ITV.
