FORMER Saints star Kevin Keegan has been given a stamp of approval.

The ex-Saint, who scored 76 goals for the club from 1980 to 1982, will now be featured in a new set of stamps called Football Heroes which the Royal Mail are selling to mark the 150th anniversary of Association Football.

He is just one of 11 players to be chosen in the collection, which celebrates the most talented players in the UK to have graced football.

The football heroes (XI) 11 include Bobby Charlton, Gordon Banks and George Best.

The stamps, pictured, will be available from May 9 and fans can preorder the stamps by registering at royalmail.com/footballheroes.
