TheBrownBottle Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I still think the East Stand should have been renamed the Keegan Stand to mirror the Milburn. There is no-one as important to the modern club as KK - he’s our Frank Watt. This is the club that Kevin (re)built, ultimately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catenaccio reborn, except in the opposition’s half instead of your own Two cup finals between the second and third top teams, 240 minutes, with no goals. All utterly forgettable. Yesterday, Liverpool had zero shots in extra time. Heavy metal football my arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that Howe is really aware of how important the job is, what an honour it is and how the manager of NUFC is an ambassador to the city and region. Reckons Howe has completely fallen in love with the place and he’s a perfect leader for the club. Honestly the way KK talks about the club still gives me goosebumps after all these years.

Thanks for feeding back, love the man so much and am just pleased that even if he’s not getting more involved he can have a better relationship with the club from afar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Keegan is the most honest, sincere, genuine, all for football, his players, his team/club and fans than anyone to grace or disgrace the game. I’m glad he won’t be coming back in some one or another capacity, I hope he can enjoy the ride from the sidelines. And I agree with him, football is boring today.

But if good player comes to Keegan and says "Thank you Kevin for the opportunity and continued support in the football related arena, but I've done that. I want to better myself, I want to move on." then Keegan can make that dream come true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It would be an easy win for the club to appoint KK as club president or club ambassador - they may already have offered of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club have been in touch with him too from previous articles I've passed. Unless he indicates otherwise I think all they need to do (and I'm sure already have) is make sure he knows he's got a seat for life and is welcome any time, until the suitable time to properly honour him in some way with a statue or whatever they agree.

Sima Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I was 12-16 when Keegan was our manager and had a ST for it's entirety. What a fucking ride, man. Some of the best years of my life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the best years of my life. I was 20 - 25 for the KK era, and also wisely got one of the half-season tickets available in the 92/93 promotion season, otherwise I would have been locked out of SJP for those 5 amazing years. Literally could not have timed it better. It was a glorious time, not only to be a NUFC fan, but also being a young Geordie living on Tyneside. They were the days when the Bigg Market & Quayside were in their absolute pomp, rammed every night for 6 days out of 7. Even more luckily, my University years also ran concurrently with the KK era, and it's no exaggeration to say that the weekend started on a Wednesday and ended on the Monday, with Tuesday off to recover. The town is a woeful night out these days compared to the halcyon days of the 90s...only truly busy on a Saturday night, and the bars are just dull as fuck. I actually feel a bit sorry for the local kids of today, not seeing how or why Newcastle got it's party-town reputation.

He has been offered a role but he wants to actually do something meaningful and not just be wheeled out for events. He’s left it to the owners to offer him something worthwhile.
