Wish he'd come back one final time to SJP so that we can all say thank you and goodbye if he wants to stay away from the club forever after that.

Yeah I wish he would. Our owners would welcome him with open arms.

He needs a statue outside of it as well as he helped build it.  Without Keegan there's no Shearer.

I still think the East stand should have been named after him.  Perhaps if we remain at SJP, the new East Stand could be named in his honour?

 

edit: the statue of Robson is still mystifying to me btw.

Without Keegan there’s potentially no Newcastle Utd…

I hope it's a very long time before Keegan gets a statue.

 

Statues are for dead people, once their legacy is finalised. 

Aye. Joe Harvey and Colin Veitch first please.

He knows an appearance at SJP would turn into 90 minutes of worship. Behind the childlike enthusiasm for life, the bike races, the helicopters and the smash hits, there's a charmingly modest man. In some ways, walking away quietly into the sunset like Mr Bergstrom is the perfect Kevin Keegan goodbye.

Nice little segment on ITV at the start of today's Euro's coverage. Unbelievable watching it how we had the privilege of having him as part of our history. 

It focused on his time at Hamburg and how he embraced the new culture, especially learning the language well enough to engage in conversation with the local community as well as media. 

Watching 5 minutes of him reminded me of Bruno being here, personality and engagement combined.

That's low - now I'm imagining Bruno being managed by Keegan

Remember Barry on auf wiedersehen pet saying something similar about Keegan

Literally the summer that changed of course of history for NUFC. Without KK’s arrival that summer the current era wouldn’t be happening. The most important person in the club’s history, no question.

 

I never tire of watching this goal. I was just slightly too young to have been there but I have stood on those Gallowgate terraces a lot. And even though there have been some packed in crowds on there in my time, I don’t think they were ever as jammed tight as they looked on the day of KK’s debut. I’d love to know how many were squashed into the Gallowgate that day.

Well I was, there and squashed. Strongest memory of the day (unfortunately) is being squashed against the wall beside the turnstiles as police horses tried to walk through the jam packed masses waiting to get in. Oh! And some arsehole trying to spit a mouthful of cider at one of the ‘Mounties’ and only succeeding in drenching my hair and face.
