I'm Kevin Keegan

Cycled past the local football playing kids today and got a super happy flashback. They appeared when one of the kids shouted " I’m  Ronaldo" It is not long since I shouted "I’m Kevin Keegan, that is taken" There are few years ago and there were the days where we talked about how few hours it was before they called from Anfield Road. Rune said that Old Trafford called. Terje waited for Highbury and the Gunner's, while Snorri had his West Ham from Upton Park. Everyone had faith, and all had football cards with chewing gum in the package. A few years ago and to be exactly; 1975. That’s the one year's Hammer’s was a bit good.

 

1975 was nine years before the father of Ronaldo said, "I want to make Ronaldo 'and 10 years before his mother said "Cristiano is now out and ready to take sit ups”

1975 and the time where the best football pictures were created inside the young boys heads. Football and cold Coke when we could afford. He who stole the ice from the co-op, I guess I can not mention by name, but (Terje) we thought it was beautiful during the breaks. Two teams. Was playing  on until we heard the mothers shout, "coooooome hoooooooome for beeeeedtime” 

We pretend we have not heard ... Could not hear because it was 5-5 and the first goal to win. Besides, did not do anything if we were shouted at. Soon Liverpool, Manchester, Arsenal and West Ham will call. Then it would probably be less shouting and more money for cold Coka Cola.

Im still waiting for Liverpool to call. But they will. Guaranteed! And on the first training I’m going to shout ”I’m Kevin Keegan, that’s taken”. If it's taken already, then I’m going for Tommy Smith.

Bjorn, love the soul of fooball

* I took the picture in the Netherlands, or perhaps it was in Holland ... ;-) (it’s a old story..)
