From Childhood Memories to a Legendary Reunion – Don’t Miss Kevin Keegan at the Empress Building
Kevin Keegan to Reunite with Lifelong Fan at the Empress Building – A Journey Through Time and Friendship
Mexborough, South Yorkshire –
A moment from the past will come to life on October 18, 2024, at the Empress Building, when football icon Kevin Keegan reunites with a lifelong fan who’s carried the memory of their first encounter for decades. This highly anticipated event, An Evening with Kevin Keegan, promises not only to relive golden football moments but also to touch on the deeply personal connections that only sport can create.
In the 1970s, young Gary Lockwood was like many other boys in South Yorkshire—football was life, and Kevin Keegan, his hero. When word spread that Keegan had moved nearby, Gary and his friend couldn’t resist the urge to see if they could catch a glimpse of their football idol. Little did they know that this would be the beginning of a memory they’d treasure forever.
Gary recalls: “We found the street but didn’t know the house number. We walked up, hoping, and suddenly there he was—Kevin Keegan himself. He invited us in, gave us a drink, signed cards for us, and even promised to get us a bigger kit the following week. I was over the moon, just chatting with my football hero. The next Sunday, true to his word, he gave us signed pictures. It was that one-to-one interaction I’ll never forget—he remembered us, and that meant everything.”
The reunion at the Empress Building will be an emotional moment, as Gary Lockwood steps back in time to relive this unforgettable encounter in front of a live audience, with Kevin Keegan by his side. Fans of Keegan, football lovers, and anyone who’s ever experienced the joy of meeting their idol will find themselves deeply moved by this incredible story.
The Empress Building continues to attract stars and memorable events to its historic venue.

We’re thrilled to host Kevin Keegan’s return to Mexborough and to give our audience a chance to witness this special reunion.”
