Absolutely briliant that! Loved this bit; We played Leeds away and Terry McDermott [Keegan’s assistant] was talking to Frank Worthington, they were having a good conversation. There were two main nightclubs in Newcastle at the time, Julie’s and Legends. As we walk up to them, Terry Mac looks at Tino and points at Frankie. He says: ‘Legend!’ Tino just says: ‘Me no Legends tonight, me Julie’s.’” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Great article, Tino IDK, just something in football you miss or don't see much anymore, but it's those away nights in the CL when our team was bloody crap tbh and we had a powerhouse Barcelona showing up and Asprilla goes out and destroys them in front of the home fans. Special stuff. I wonder how KK's team would have fared in the CL that following season if he stayed on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulous read that, especially for those of us who were around in those days. We didn't win the title but Tino was made for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 What could have been. whenever i hear that phrase, i always think of blackburn away and, years later, Partizan home. There can be no bigger what if than the Cantona 1 nil game. Even if we drew that night, in hindsight I think we’d have won it. It was like a cup final atmosphere that night, never heard the place bouncing like that half an hour before kick off. Perhaps us fans were just as guilty of thinking we needed to win that night.

Scoreboard82 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 ? What a day. Red hot. A perfect day. Couldn't script it better with him grabbing the winner. I watched while hanging on to the Gallowgate (scoreboard end) advertising hoardings at the back, hence my user name as it happens. Terraces were packed and the atmosphere electric. The club was resurrected, briefly anyway, that summer. God knows we need a similar lift nowadays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Can't help but wonder what Keegan could have done with that 11/12 squad man. If that absolute wallop Pardew could get them to 5th, I think Keegan would have had them playing way above themselves. Would genuinely have him managing us again today if Ashley was gone.

I didn't realise how far ahead the 2 Manchester clubs were at the end, reckon Keegan may have snuck 3rd though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise how far ahead the 2 Manchester clubs were at the end, reckon Keegan may have snuck 3rd though. Yeah I could definitely see that. We were only 5 points off 3rd, or 6 if you factor in our inferior goal difference. For all the great work Keegan did for this club it's such a shame that he never got to lead us out for a Champions League night at St. James'.

NEEJ Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 What's staggering to me is that Keegan was in the dugout just 3 years before that season started. It seems like much, much longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkeye Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I remember that from the TV show, was called The Superstars or something. Keegan was awesome in it. You just cannot imagine footballers, or really any prominent sportsmen / women of today being involved in that sort of competition. Unbelievable...
