My dad's uncle (ST holder for 50 plus years I believe) didn't like Keegan. He owned a pub on the outskirts of Morpeth so I just assumed he'd had a bad experience there, but really wish I'd have been old enough to ask when he was still around as he properly held something against him.
FWIW I've always thought of Keegan as nothing but an absolute legend for what did for this club.
Charver was just "right place, right time" which seems to be Ashley's go-to when he needs to plug a gap in an organisation.
It's genuinely baffling how he's done as well as he has outside of football.
