andyc35i Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Same - I really miss the days when the cheeky smile of the man in charge of our club would make you think that everything would be alright Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie john Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Watching those video clips, listening to SBR. Oh, I cry when I realise those days are so long gone. What a joy it was, those times of hope, expectation, amazing achievements and glorious football. Managed by a true gentleman. A real Geordie. Real. Those days, and those with KK lifted me. It was, literally, the time of my life. NUFC made my life complete. And now.......Bruce? Ashley? I despair. One day...one day.....I hope to feel those days again. Please, God, please???

Yorkie Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Look at the pride in Sir Bobby :smitten: Wonderful that. That bit at the end particularly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 In fact, all of it's just great. The way he talks about football, it's just so honest and passionate and positive. And that glimmer of determination right at the very end too. The way he builds up the game, builds up his team, puts the opponent on a pedastal but not too highly; so visibly excited and proud. We didn't do badly that game either. Got let down by one lad switching off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 That clip of him showing Lineker around the place is literally one of my favourite bits of 'NUFC' ever put on film. Sounds a bit over the top but I don't think it is. A magnificent new stadium, a wonderful manager, at a brilliant time for the club, justifiably beaming with pride at how great a club it was. Obviously we weren't 12 points clear at the top of the league but for those, like me, who didn't live through the Keegan years with any real sentience, it's as great a peak as we're likely to experience - and that clip just summed it up. If the architraves were spectacular then you knew the team was brilliant. And it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Aye. He was proud of the club and gave everyone something to proud of. Dread to think of the state of some of those areas in the ground now. Oak doors replaced a shitty old curtain, no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abra Dubravka Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) "I just knew that you had to win. If you didn't win, well you're contract could be terminated very quickly - you live by the sword." Managed Ronaldo, World Player of the Year! After knowing he's being sacked for van Gaal just oozes respect and dignity. Barca give him a Technical role; he talks on signings of Dugarry, Sonny Anderson and Rivaldo. (Who signs three world class forwards in one transfer window?) Roll up sleeves can get fucked. Edited November 28, 2021 by Abra Dubravka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 A gentleman in the game and life. Was a pleasure to meet the man as a ballboy at St James'. At half time we were given a platter of sandwiches to scran and I shit you not, he walked past sloped a sandwich off on his way back down the tunnel. Like your cheeky granda.
