Thanks psnz. I should have made my question more precise. What is he notorious for, especially in the football (soccer) world?

Kelvin MacKenzie's editorial style was aggressive and often criticised for its sensationalism and insensitivity. One of the most notorious incidents was the coverage of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, when "The Sun" published a front page story falsely accusing Liverpool fans of various wrongdoings, leading to a widespread boycott of the paper in Liverpool that continues to this day.
