I do not believe there should be a statue for Kevin Keegan at Scunthorpe united. A bar or a road perhaps, but not a statue and not a stand. This is not to belittle his achievements at Scunthorpe, but his great achievements happened elsewhere (Anfield, StJames Park or Wembley) and one of those locations is where it should be. I live in Doncaster and the local press and social media are talking about a memorial at the Keepmoat, when I would have thought a blue plaque on his childhood home in Armthorpe would have been enough ! I do not think the clubs supporters should be putting there fundraising efforts into this whilst the club itself is still on it’s uppers.
I’m also a Trust member and would also like to register my displeasure with the trust using funds other than what they have been raised for.
Please correct me if I’m wrong but the Trust stated on many occasions that members Fees and fund raising was to buy shares in the club.
Aso whilst I fully agree with either renaming the Iron bar or removing the name Botham from the exec lounge and replacing it with Keegan, I don’t believe the amount of money needed to pay for a statue will be raised by the trust, they’ve not thought this through.
Again bang on ..
Keegan Bar
Keegan Exec Lounge ..
after all what has Beffy ever done for the club especially when it was very close to going out of exsistence . Bothams last appearance in Scunny was at the crown court for a fight outside Tiffs 555555
