In a personal account, writer Jeff Powell describes a moment involving former football manager and player Kevin Keegan during Keegan’s move to Hamburg. Powell writes that after lunch—featuring beefburgers and steins of pilsner—they mark the occasion before heading toward the airport. According to Powell, Keegan then drives quickly on the German autobahn, reaching speeds of about 100 mph, with the aim of ensuring Powell makes the flight on time. The piece presents Keegan’s character in energetic terms, describing him as competitive and ambitious, while also portrayed as eager to help others. The article frames the incident as part of a broader impression of Keegan’s drive and temperament during that period. The two versions provided are the same account, reproduced without substantive differences, and both attribute the recollection to Jeff Powell, focusing on the lunch, the airport timing, and the high-speed journey.
