The nimble left-footed schoolboy from South London holds a special place in the history of the great English game, winning the hearts of Crystal Palace and Arsenal fans during a playing career which saw him captain successful teams at both clubs. The 1970s and '80s saw a youthful Kenny revelling in top flight football, under the management of some of the best names in the business. Kenny won a record-breaking 86 international caps and featured in many of the pivotal matches played by the Three Lions.
