Personal Life
On 1 May 2008, despite being told by manager Neil Warnock to keep a low profile, Kenny went for a night out in Halifax. He became involved in a drunken brawl outside a curry house with a former friend, who admitted to having an affair with Kenny's wife. Kenny ended up having his eyebrow bitten off and required 12 stitches.
In September 2009, Kenny was banned from all professional football for nine months after failing a drugs test.
In August 2012 Kenny's former club QPR wrote a formal letter of complaint to Leeds Utd over abusive texts allegedly sent by Kenny to their technical director Mike Rigg and chairman Tony Fernandes. The texts were reported to have mocked the club's poor first result of the 2012–2013 season and, in particular, the performance of goalkeeper Rob Green, brought in to replace Kenny over the summer. Kenny subsequently had his Twitter account deleted.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Wilson adventured for the whole of the human race. Not as a servant, but as a champion. So pure was this motive, so unflecked with anything that his worst enemies could find, except the mildest and most excusable, a personal vanity, practically the minimum to be human, that in a sense his adventure is that of humanity itself. In Wilson, the whole of mankind breaks camp, sets out from home and wrestles with the universe and its gods.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
“The novels are as useful as Bibles, if they teach you the secret, that the best of life is conversation, and the greatest success is confidence, or perfect understanding between sincere people.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
