Greg Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Wasn't the 7-1 v Spurs during Robson's reign? Don't disagree with the general sentiment though. No. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 That was a brilliant night and it was an honour to speak to him. He's a gentleman with time for everybody, and a fantastic storyteller. You could've listened to him tell stories all night (and I think he wanted to!), and you feel like he's got a special anecdote for literally every player or person he's come across in the game. He was waffling-on to my Dad about Darren Huckerby ffs. Beardsley and Terry Mac were sat right behind us too, which was funny. So too George Caulkin, who I decided to approach and gush over before the show had started. He was unsurprisingly humble, like - get the feeling he's just a top, top man. But yeah, ace. Love the Sage too, first time I've been in there. Few forum faces, too - Rich & bro, LFEE to name a couple; pretty sure I clocked Midds on the stairs n'all. Top night.

Altamullan Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Wasn't the 7-1 v Spurs during Robson's reign? Don't disagree with the general sentiment though. No. It is, though, an odd example to pick to signify the joy of the Keegan era. If I recall correctly that game was the time he decided he had had enough. I remember seeing him at the game and thinking how miserable he looked (think he was wearing a black woolly hat). He said afterwards (not the full story I’m sure) that he just felt sorry for the Spurs manager (Francis?) rather than feeling the joy he felt he should have done. Must have been close to his final game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianovthetoon Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Loved it. Echo all the comments about him being a good storyteller. Just wish that this fella was around the club in some capacity. Sadly looks and sounds like it's highly unlikely in the short to medium term Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 So much love for King Kev. Can't wait for the day he is back at the club and the cunt owner is gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Just met KK in London for a book signing. What a man - had so much time for everyone and he'd been there for 2 hours already when I spoke to him. Just a great person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealios Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I was at the same book signing. What a guy. By the time I met him it was already 90 minutes after he was supposed to leave. Delay was all down to the fact he was talking about football and doing photos with every single person in the queue. If you could sum up everything that Is wrong about this club, and football in general to be honest, it’s that someone like that is not suited to it.

Sima Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 It’s a shame he hasn’t currently put his weight behind ‘Ashley Out’. Maybe he has a caveat in the successful court case that he won’t get involved in Newcastle matters? His involvement would be a massive lightning rod to the currently apathetic.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I love listening to Keegan talk. Hearing him say he would never drop Salah and would let him play through a bad patch, argh wish he'd have been manager of Ben Arfa Ah man, don't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
