Guests enjoyed a truly special night of football, fine dining, and fundraising at An Evening with Kevin Keegan, held at the elegant Atlantic Hotel in Newquay. The event brought together fans, friends, and supporters of St Columb Major AFC for an unforgettable evening celebrating one of English football’s most charismatic figures, all while raising vital funds for the future of the local club.
The night began with a superb three-course dinner, expertly prepared and served in the hotel’s stunning surroundings. Guests then settled in for an entertaining and insightful Q&A session with former Liverpool, Newcastle, and England legend Kevin Keegan, hosted by Dave Fulton (Sky Sports).
Kevin captivated the room with his trademark humour and passion, sharing incredible stories from his glittering playing and managerial career — from his Ballon d’Or triumphs in the late 1970s to his unforgettable time leading Newcastle United and managing the England national team. Laughter, nostalgia, and admiration filled the room as he reflected on the highs, challenges, and characters that shaped his remarkable journey in football.
In addition to the star-studded football content, the evening featured a charity auction and raffle, offering guests the chance to win fantastic prizes. The fundraising element proved a huge success, helping to generate essential funds towards the club’s ongoing development.
It was a night that truly captured the spirit of grassroots football: community, camaraderie, and celebration — with a touch of star quality from one of the sport’s all-time greats.
