TheGuv Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 43 minutes ago, Hovagod said: To be honest, when I saw him at a talk-in he just seemed like he had completely fallen out of love with football. Forest at home was the next day and I didn’t even get the impression he would be following it- he mentioned his grandkids. Just something that happens to some people I suppose. He didn’t strike me as somebody at all interested at being involved in any sort of way again. Would also love him to just pop along to a game so we can love him properly one last time but it’s his choice ultimately. Yes and no. I spoke to him at one in London and he said he’d be happy to be involved but you could tell he didn’t want it to be wheeled out as an after dinner speaker. If he could be involved with something commercial? Something meaningful? Then yes he would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Met the man last night, at a charity doo at the Stadium of Shite. Bought a signed shirt, and got a photo with him (with it). Was a sports quiz type event for a kids charity. where he was asking the questions (not a talk-in) but he seemed on good form, but didn't really talk about Newcastle or anything in particular.

He did, went to see him last Sunday at the playhouse. He was invited to the first game but didn’t want to take away from the occasion. He’s been invited back and would love to talk to the players about the city, the history etc just seems if not when. Was on good form, he’s 72, he probably has fell out of love with the game a bit, you can’t blame him , it’s changed massively from his day. But he was bubbly, seemed to be enjoying life and was on good form. Probably had enough stories to do a 10 hour stint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Keegan talks about the club would inspire anyone. Especially what’s seems to be a great United group of players. would love to be a fly on the wall for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Having him on the pitch, being serenaded by a full house with a stunning wor flags display in his honour would be the dream. We have to get a chance to show him what he means to us for one last time. Wouldn't take anything away from what Howe and the lads are doing. If anything it should encourage them to fight just that little bit harder Edited October 21, 2022 by pedro111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 It is a little sad that for a man who seemed to revel in the kind of adulation we have/would give him (not in a bad way, and I was 7 when his first management stint ended so happy to be corrected), he seems very hesitant to have the slightest involvement now. I guess it's a case of once bitten twice shy and I can't blame him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Sorry that post maybe seemed dismissive/rude. I was trying to be a bit vague but was half cut haha.
