[LooneyToonArmy]

not a Keegan quote but this was a comical one from Chris Kamara at the weekend for his live appraisal of Benjani Mwaruwari's performance against Derby.

 

"It's back to the old Benjani, shooting from 35-yards and hitting the corner flag," surmised Kamara - before the striker slotted an ice-cool hat-trick to see off Derby to the tune of 3-1.
