1981: KEVIN KEEGAN DOLL - Will He Love It? | Blue Peter | Weird and Wonderful | BBC Archive

Описание: "I'm not too happy with the legs - I think she's borrowed them from Phil Thompson at Liverpool."

Simon Groom introduces Kevin Keegan to a lifelike three-dimensional fabric portrait of himself made by Sylvia Gardner. Sylvia has made several fabric portraits of notable figures in the past, including Prince Charles, the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister, and Viscount Montgomery, but Kevin Keegan is the first time a sportsperson has been the subject of her work.

The twice former European Footballer of the Year shares his thoughts on his likeness, before chatting to Simon and Peter Duncan about football. What are England's chances in the forthcoming game against Romania, and how likely is he to be fit for the match? Why did Kevin chose to return to English football with Southampton after his successful spell playing for Hamburg in Germany? What are the main differences between German football and English football? Do English clubs play too many games?

Kevin then gamely risks aggravating his knee injury in order to run the boys through a few training drills. Finally, he turns his attention to the pressing matter of helping Sarah Greene name Goldie the Blue Peter dog's puppies.
