EnglandCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Joseph Kevin Keegan was an English football player and manager who played as an attacking midfielder or forward. Nicknamed "King Kev" or "Mighty Mouse", Keegan was recognised for his dribbling ability, finishing and presence in the air, as much as he was for his distinct appearance and charismatic personality, and is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time and was also a widely recognised figure of English football during the 1970s, winning consecutive Ballon d'Ors in 1978 and 1979. — Wikipedia

In the line-ups
2 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1980The archive holds 2 team sheets naming Kevin Keegan in England's starting line-up, from 1980-06-12 to 1980-06-15.
2 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
