Known affectionately in these parts as King Kev, Keegan was a Newcastle United legend as both player and manager. He has inspired generations in Newcastle and across the wider North East, and continues to be held in such deep esteem that a sea of floral tributes and football shirts has appeared this week outside St James' Park.

Earlier today we paid our own respects at what has become a very powerful and emotive shrine to a legend. I visited St James' Park with a wreath from all of us at the Chronicle, Journal and the Chronicle Sunshine Fund, which Keegan kindly supported during his time at Newcastle and afterwards. It is a very moving experience seeing all the tributes, with fans looking at them in reverent silence as a city comes together in grief.

Keegan died surrounded by his family at the age of 75, following a battle with cancer. In the hours and days following his passing, heartfelt tributes have poured in and we captured these in a dedicated tributes article here. Chronicle journalists also penned their own memories of and tributes to King Kev, with Lee Ryder commenting on how Kevin Keegan inspired a generation and etched his name into Newcastle folklore, and John Gibson writing that Kevin Keegan was ours - no-one loved Special K like Newcastle United.

It was important to us that the Chronicle's front page pay tribute the following day, so we created a special edition with an iconic front page showing him as player and manager of Newcastle United which we hope reflects the passion he brought to both roles and the respect he is held in with fans across the region, country and world.

Here is that front page in full:

Since then readers not living in Newcastle and those who missed Tuesday's special front page in the shops have been in touch to ask if they can order a copy. You can buy the Chronicle from Tuesday, 21st July including the tributes to KK from Gibbo and others in the Reach online shop here.
