Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has compared himself to Kevin Keegan, telling his trial that he is so famous he will be forever associated with leading a banned terrorist group. Choudary, 57, from Ilford in east London, said he suffered from the 'Kevin Keegan effect', in a reference to the former England and Liverpool footballer.
