martoon Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) KK guested for Hearts in Alex McDonald's testimonial in May 1984. What a player. He was superb that night and stood out like a 1970 Pele in a Sunday league game. He brought his Newcastle team up for John Robertson's testimonial in 1992, too. An absolute gentleman. Best wishes, Kevin. Edited January 7 by martoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Awful news about the one man who's a hero to all of us who support the club, hope he pulls through and in the meantime is as comfortable as possible. He was always one of football's romantics and that crazy, entertaining, relentless match occurring tonight, the same night his name was sung around St James' for the first time in many years, had some beautiful poetry to it.

Wolfcastle Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Even though I was a kid I didn't even dream about having the future he gave us. Thought midtable in the first division with Beardsley's, Waddle's and Gazza's passing through was the pinnacle and envied those that got to experience that instead what I was getting. In less than a year and a half he took us from our lowest ebb to blowing that ambition out the water. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I never understood how any football fan couldn’t love the man - regardless if he was associated with your club or not. He always believed in the right values - that football is a working class game for the entertainment of people who work hard for a living. He played and managed with that ethos in mind - everything is about that release at the end of a long working week. He was always right that any fan can accept defeat if the manner of the defeat is the right one. Absolutely love the man - his emotive nature made me love him all the more. It is hard for anyone who wasn’t ‘there’ to grasp exactly what the club was in Feb 1992, and where we were a short time later, and the way we played to get there. KK’s NUFC changed English football - not through winning trophies, but through exciting play in a way that is rarely acknowledged today (there is no ‘PL is most exciting in the world’ without it - trust me, I saw Graham’s Arsenal and Kinnear’s Wimbledon). Greatest tribute the team could play is winning a fucking crazy game 4-3 - which means Howe has won more 4-3s than KK. Speedy recovery, King Kev.

We were 6-0 up at half time playing incredible football. Lost my dad at a similar age the same way so praying for Kev. I know my dad would have been. Andy Cole song lasted about half an hour. Only blot on the day was SJH murdering We are the Champions from the scaffolding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Fans of Still not worthy of a thread will know I'm in a 1995 VHS bunker. The news hit me hard as I've watched so much of this recently. Imagine a manager being this nice to the opposition now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look at those specific matches, I don't want to upload them to YT in case they get pulled for copyright but I can share them via other means.

Would love to get my hands on Sheff Wed away, Boro home and probably a few others. I've got links for West Ham at home and Coventry away but you've probably already seen the former per pre match threads. I don't think Middlesbrough at home was televised that season? Was a Wednesday night midweek match. I think the below are the televised games from 95-96; Sheff Wed (a) Chelsea (h) Everton (a) Spurs (a) Liverpool (a) (League Cup) Wimbledon (a) Man Utd (a) Chelsea (a) (FA Cup) Arsenal (a) (League Cup) Coventry (a) Man Utd (h) West Ham (h) Liverpool (a) Blackburn (a) Villa (h) Leeds (a) Forest (a) Spurs (h) You can tell on the old season reviews; if Roger Tames isn't commentating then that game was on TV as they have the Sky commentary on instead of the proverbial exocet merchant.
