Kevin Keegan's name rang around Wembley Stadium ahead of the UEFA Nations League clash with Spain on Saturday night, as the Football Association paid tribute to the former England player and manager, who died on July 20.
In the first Three Lions fixture played since his death, Keegan's image was displayed on the big screens at the venue of legends. Just before kick-off, Wembley fans rose to their feet to applaud, while the former England manager's name was also chanted in the build-up to the match.
Programme tribute and wreath laying
A poignant message in the official programme read: "Kevin Keegan was King Kev. He was Special K, Mighty Mouse and the Messiah all rolled into one."
FA Chair Debbie Hewitt laid a wreath in tribute to Keegan. The programme continued: "Tonight, when England play their first game since one of the nation's finest-ever footballers sadly passed away, it would be a fitting tribute to the man who only wanted to make fans happy, if supporters felt compelled to smile warmly at his memory."
Career remembered
Keegan won 63 caps and scored 21 goals during an international career that started in 1972 after Sir Alf Ramsey gave him his debut in a World Cup qualifier against Wales in Cardiff. The programme noted: "For most of the next decade he was one of the world's best players, a back-to-back Ballon d'Or winner who escaped factory life in his hometown of Doncaster to play for Scunthorpe United before embarking on an odyssey that felt straight out of a Roy of the Rovers comic strip. Liverpool, Hamburg, Southampton and Newcastle United will all testify to his magnificent legacy."
It added: "Keegan returned to serve his country again as the new millennium dawned, this time as manager, but still wearing his heart on his sleeve. In that respect, he never changed."
Tuchel's tribute
Current England boss Thomas Tuchel said earlier in the summer: "As a young football fan, he was the first England superstar I can remember watching growing up."
He added: "He won every honour possible and to be named the best player in the world two times was an unbelievable achievement. You only need to think how fondly he is remembered by supporters at his clubs to see what a man he was. Of course, he also had that special experience of playing, captaining and managing his country."
"My thoughts are with his family and friends today, and all the fans who loved to watch him play. I know we will pay him a full tribute when we welcome Spain to Wembley Stadium in September. We will be honouring a true hero of English football."
