Kevin Keegan, the former Liverpool, Newcastle United and England footballer, has died aged 75. His stomach cancer diagnosis came about in an unusual way, only being discovered after he was involved in a serious car crash, which is a reminder of how incidental medical scans can sometimes uncover hidden illnesses.

Keegan, regarded as one of England's most celebrated players and managers, was known for his time at Liverpool, Hamburg and Newcastle, as well as his spells managing Newcastle, Fulham, Manchester City and England. The article does not provide further detail on the timeline of his diagnosis or treatment, but confirms his death was ultimately caused by the stomach tumour identified following the crash.
