his last game as a player at Newcastle, he came round the pitch, I was about 8, in the family enclosure with me Dad, He came to us and held either end of my scarf and said, "i see you every week with your Dad, and he signed my autograph book, I still have it today.... King Kev, total legend of the Toon. when he went away in the Helicopter from the pitch i cried my eyes out! so did me Dad!
Your reminiscence is truly lovely, great story.
Aye I was 6 I think and my memory was the helicopter
@@iandixon7641 I remember everyone waving at him and I knew we were never going to get that feeling back, UNTIL he signed again as Manager!... The day he came back was a weird morning, Me Dad was dropping my Nana off at Our old Aunties and drove by The Brewery, Kev was getting out a big black car, Me Dad leaned out the window and shouted, "Alreet Kev, You coming back?" and Kevin just beamed and shrugged his shoulders.
@@SUSIEPIP Yes,you can hear he his still passionate about the club.
That's a lovely story, thanks!
King Kev understands us fans well. Absolutely love the man. Can't wait till he's back in the stands where he's meant to be. Legend!
In my lifetime it’s only been him and Asir Bobby who understood it properly. Hughton, Roeder, Rafa etc all got it too but you need to have been from here or played here to properly understand the club it’s so unique
@@karlm641 100% mate! Geordies understand geordies, others might get a rough idea, but at the end of the day no one understands us better than us 🤍🖤
There's no one that understands it all more than King Kev. I hope he gets some recognition in these new times.
Wish he’d won the league, wore his heart on his sleeve and when he left so abruptly, was a complete shock but he felt he’d taken the side as far as he could
Actually got goosebumps listening to Keegan here. He knows us so well it’s unreal. What other fans don’t understand at the moment is we didn’t care who owned our club , all we wanted was someone who had ambition and understood the fans.
No one understands our club. It has a different meaning to the community in the area than most other clubs.
@@glynhayes5930 That's so very true. People from outside the city really struggle to understand the emotion involved with it. Keegan got it 110%.
The passion newcastle have towards their club is the same as the passion other fans have towards their club. Liverpool fans think they're the most passionate about their club. Leeds fans think they are etc
@@deanhowell5936 Each club certainly does have their own unique support. No one can argue against the atmosphere at Anfield, especially on European nights, or Dortmund's yellow wall etc. I've been to a Milan derby for example and that exceeds anything I've ever seen in football. I do think though that Newcastle has more similarities to Scottish football support than England - the support is on a level with Celtic than any other English club for me.
@@deanhowell5936 I think the big difference is the misunderstanding and misconception that most people (and probably mostly pundits) have towards the toon and our supporters. The old misconception of unrealistic expectations is always trotted out, yet you never hear it mentioned for any other club. The only expectations we have is for every player to give 100% effort and to entertain, as football should be played. We don't work all week to sit bored, we want to enjoy the games. KK is right about getting beat too - I was at both Liverpool 4-3 away games and although it was gutting to be beaten both times it was a great spectacle and even talking to the Liverpool fans outside the ground on the way to the car was a class experience of both sets of supporters just enjoying the moment together of seeing an unbelievable game (and the amazement of it happening the following year)
He has ties to the North East through his coal mining grandfather, who not only survived the Stanley pit disaster, where 168 miners lost their lives, but went back down to help with saving other miners and pit ponies.
my great grandfather received a medal for rescuing fellow miners in the Stanley disaster my dad wrote to the club in the 80s as he has the 1952 cup ribbons won in a newspaper competition as a boy and wanted to donate them and also wanted to ask if Kevin had the same gold medal we have awarded to the miners who tried to rescue.Not even a reply, I hope the latest lot have higher standards
Kegan was a hero in the 70's when I lived in England. He was the Messi of the time, short and a great player.
Keegan and beardsley was special
@Garry Ellison He won Liverpool the European cup for the first time ever
@@CoolDude-jp1kj it was his last game for Liverpool.
@@CoolDude-jp1kj As a kid,I remember collecting stickers for WC Spain 82 and Keegan was the England captain with the bubble perm and Admiral England shirt.😄
What a wonderful man, legend. love him ❤
As a Newcastle fan, I am so excited about the takeover because it means the return of Kevin Keegan! He will no doubt be honoured with a statue, or naming of a stand as well as an ambassador type role. He is without doubt one of the most genuine guys in football. If you haven't already read his autobiography, then I highly recommend it, such a great bloke!
Emotional listening to him talking here, it’s been 14 years of having a black cloud over the club and now it’s gone
Keegan is just a classy guy! Can't wait for him to be involved in the club again!
As a Manchester United fan Congratulations 🎉👏🥳 Newcastle it is a sleeping giant with loyal fans and a great city with history I want to wish you good luck for the future Roma was not built in a day remember people definitely going to be very interesting watching this project over the years 🤔 take care Lee 👍
At this point, they can have VDB. Ole has ruined his career at United, so it would be great to see him as Newcastle next-gen hero
@@goldie8501 he will probably go Barcelona with Ronald Koeman to be honest in my opinion 🤔
@@user-eh6sm9nq1n Yeah, that's possible. But considering how horrible Koeman's doing in Barca, VDB's career isn't going to get any better. I'd rather have him go to Dortmund or another PL team
@@goldie8501 I am just thinking of the Netherlands connection
@@user-eh6sm9nq1n Understandable.
King Kev 👑
fergie turned him to jelly lol
Delighted that he's truly loved by the Geordies, when he's overlooked time and again by fans of LFC. The truth is that they (LFC fans) didn't deserve him and the Geordies made him feel at home. Even as a rival fan I loved what he did with Newcastle. Great player, good manager and decent bloke. Respect 👍 GGMU. #GlazersOutNow
I met Kevin Keegan once and he was so nice to everybody there. He made time to sign stuff for people and complimented people, just a lovely man. What he did for the team just spoiled me for life, I was 12 when he came in as Manager and I thought we were gonna be great forever. It's been up and down since he left but I feel as excited about games now as I did back then but I'll never forget his Entertainers era, it was magnificent. King Kev. Absolute legend.
Glad he mentioned that David Batty was a very very good player. For me, the most underrated footballer in my life time. Excellent,excellent footballer.
Kevin was the only manager I remember to put his hands up and say it needs a bigger man to manage England FC, everyone else waited to be sacked.
I respected his humility for that back then and still do.
Find a place for him on the Newcastle board please.
King kev my hero,
i love you Kevin xxxxxx NUFC Legend
Let's be honest, Newcastle fans kinda deserved this takeover
In that case why doesn’t Celtic, BVB, Frankfurt, Red Star, the big three in Turkey and the big two in Scotland, Liverpool, Dynamo Zagreb, Napoli, Olympiakos. They have better atmospheres muuuuuch better. And if your going to talk about the owners then every club that’s not in the first division of the country deserves it more
@@LoyalFan9383 newcastle were literally going through hell
Why? What have they done?
@@sebastienespeca8292 Literally?! They were "literally" going through hell? How so?
@@LoyalFan9383 my mum
I'll
Amanda Staveley, “I fell in love with this club!” after her first visit. A match made in heaven!
It took her 30 mins to fall in love with Newcastle and the city it was against liverpool when she first attended SJP good on the Geordies they deserve this TO proper fans with real passion respect to the TOOOON ARMY ⚫⚪
She's a Liverpool fan
Can’t believe you were taken in by that!
I was about 8 years old my dad traveled up from Salisbury to be there
Bless Kevin Keegan Good Man
KK deserves a statue at St James more than anyone.
A Newcastle fan here and I wouldn't have swapped Keagan for any other manager in the world. We didn't win anything but he loved Newcastle football club and nothing could beat the atmosphere at St James's during the Keagan years.
His grandfather, father and uncle were all from the North East's mining industry and I think he genuinely thought a lot for the people up here. I remember taking my kids to watch the team train at Maiden Castle and Keagan would stop back and talk to the kids and sign autographs, long after the training had finished. I also remember a story from someone who wrote a letter to Kevin asking if he could donate some NUFC memorabilia for a charity fund raising afternoon in a local village. Kevin turned at the event unannounced and spent a few hours there. He didn’t ask for anything or want any thanks, he just wanted to give something back.
in 2019 I had the pleasure of meeting my ultimate hero, Sir John Hall and I personally thanked him for bringing Alan Shearer to Newcastle United and all the things he did for the club. I walked him to his car and we talked about the Mike Ashley situation at the time, he was such a lovely man, a true gentleman. I floated home that night and celebrated with my 12 year old self, very humbled to have met him. I would love to meet Kevin and thank him too.
“The best day they will have is when he sells the club” what a party it was ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
You can’t not love Kevin Keegan such a likeable man
Too many Double Negatives....
Does this mean we do like him or not? :)
True geordie hero, my father once had dinner with the legend and recalls it as one of the greatest moments of his life. ❤
great times mate
There's only one KING and thats kev!!!!
We need you back bro!!!!! 👍
King Kev has managed both club Newcastle and City when they were sleeping giants and seen both taken over by Sheikhs. The first trophy and the last I saw us win before City went on a 36 years without a trophy run, was the League Cup final between City and Newcastle. Newcastle fans deserve this. I can't hate on them
I was in the Gallowgate when he made his debut v QPR...when he scored the winner it was amazing. What a Geordie legend
Up the toon army proper fans and great people so happy for Newcastle if any fans deserve happiness its them
Aye they are good fans but Celtic rangers on a different level
@@martinbeattie3108 Newcastle fans are the best in the UK 🇬🇧 win fu.. all and the fan are there every week win or lose if man United or Liverpool win fu all half full stadium every week
Give him the job!
I am a Manchester United fan and in the 1970's we went everywhere and the Geordies were loud in their place but just down the road was the only place you could feel power. It made the skin on my neck tingle. It was the Roker Roar and it was the most impressive I ever experienced and I went everywhere.
Haha, that'll go down well with all the Newcastle fans!
So you’re some dude at least in his 50’s trying to troll Newcastle fans on CZcams?
Weird man but okay 👌
@@therealone8458 I am 63. No not trolling Geordies at all. I am just commenting on Keegan saying the atmosphere in their place was GOAT. Just telling what I think is the truth.
@@JordanCarr44 Jordan, I said in the 1970's when I went to matches. BTW Roker Park was always full Jordan. I can remember we only had a 650 ticket allocation but the gate was always 40,000 ish.
No newcastle fan can deny the mackems have passion for their team
Was there for his debut travelled up from Cornwall some day on a scale with supermac debut and winning the Fairs Cup
Howay The Lads! Good Luck to all The Geordies for The Future, From a Liverpool FC fan!
King Kev man I still often think about the days he managed and as a child loving every moment of it :D
win, lose or draw all we care about at Newcastle is that when you put that shirt on, you give it your all.
Current squad does that, no?
@@tomace4898 some do, some don’t. You can tell who wants to be here and who doesn’t
So many players have stagnated and got worse under Bruce. Such poor management.
@@tomace4898 Rafa had them all drilled and they knew their jobs, it’s massively stagnated under Bruce and they’ve lost a lot of the shape and organisation in defence that we used to have
Love Keegan what a player,what a manager...... If he hadn't resigned we would have won league that year...... He deserves a statue.
He resigned because the Money had dried up and he had to sell players, Keegan could have been one of the great managers but unfortunately his downfall was quitting whenever he didn't get his own way
I love Kevin Keegan, he seemed so Glamorous when he went to Germany. An absolute class act always
Please give him a role at nufc the man has so much left to give !
Loved watching Newcastle when Keegan was in charge. Exciting times for Newcastle fans now.
I grew up watching newcastle as among the best club in PL . I bought the adidas round brownale jersey when i was 13
What a man.
The last time Newcastle won a major trophy was in 1955 when they won the FA cup by beating my team, Manchester City.. 66 years ago!!! I know their a one team city but to average over 50,000 fans every home game is still impressive.... Great fans, a great ground and I for one hope they enjoy every minute of becoming rich and potentially successful!
Thanks .....they actually won the fairs cup(eufa cup)in 1969....but I’ll forgive you.......;)
@@wendyhetherington7402, ooops! sorry about that but you know what I mean, their fans deserve some success.....
@@englanduk6131 the stadium is too small. We need to double the capacity
@@frankdux5693.. show off! 😂
@@englanduk6131 🤣. Seriously though, it's a major problem at the moment, and very annoying.
So many I like but out of all my favorite player is Kevin Keeganand always be.
TBH, the atmosphere at SJP has subsided over the last few years...
Having nothing to shout about being the No.1 factor!!
Now, hopefully the Toon Army can recreate those amazing days again in the coming months & years?!!
The spurs game is going to electric at SJP 🔥🔥🔥⚫⚪
It's because we've had 14 years of nowt to sing about!
@jimmy m are you making this a class thing? I love a prawn sandwich and my Dad was an open cast dragline operator lol - it doesn't matter where you are from mate, its how the football you are watching makes you feel, like Bobby once said “It's the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It's a small boy clambering up the stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father's hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him, and without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.”
It's not about a team that wins, its about a club that tries.
HOWAY THE LADS!
@@SparkyNwc yeah I remember something about that.
@jimmy m whats a prawn sandwich fan
Spot on from Kevin 🙂
The Cathedral on the Hill, when signed for Newcastle I travelled up from Cornwall where I lived at the time, when he scored it was lunacy... can't describe it you need to be there with 50,000 plus Geordies
you can hear St James crowd right over in Gateshead on match days...
this club wouldn't be the club we are now in our modern form if it wasnt or this man, took us from the brink of the 3rd tier, to nearly being crowned champions of England, playing mesmerising football on the way, if Sir Bobby has a statue outside SJP, then Keegan needs one or a stand named after him or something, with out a doubt one of the most important people if not the most in our recent history.... to see him back in SJP will be a special day indeed, would love to see him get an ambassador role or something like that, legend
انا من المملكة العربية السعودية و لاننا شعب نحب كرة نعلم جيدا ان Newcastle نادي يمتلك التاريخ وهو نادي لايشاركة في المدينة اي نادي اخر لذلك يبقى التاريخ هو مايجذبنا لهذا الصرح العظيم
Yesterday we were unrealistic and overly demanding. Today we're passionate. Sky Sports dirt bags.
Well put. Talk Sport radio even worse
You've got lots of money and influence now so they'll praise you 😂
@@pritapp788 I don't think so. They're nowhere near the vile Guardian who have been unspeakably spiteful and full of bile against Newcastle, fans and even the damn CITY. Even their most repugnant journalists doing essays ranting hatred of the PEOPLE in the area - disgracefully printed by the New Statesman, without a word of apology.
Thats not going to change any time, let alone soon. Yes, Sky and Talk Sport spend a disproportionate time attackling Newcastle fans - they're "not a big club" yet talk about them as much, and often more than the ones they CLAIM to be "big clubs" - there is a fear and horror that we may actually be on our way to challenge. And that upsets the media a LOT.
Why ?
@@PhilK114 it’s called talkshite for a reason. They even had Jason Cunty pretend that we have no history just to get the easily wound up sheep to call in
You are unrealistic and overly demanding. You are no more passionate than any other clubs supporters.
He managed the "The Entertainers".....an amazing squad the brought great results and a fun style of football to watch! He is the reason I am a Newcastle United Fan! Bring back the great players and connect with the generations of fans!
Newcastle's Number One Adopted Geordie without doubt. Took us so close to success..what days the Keegan era was.
A Newcastle fan here and I wouldn't have swapped Keagan for any other manager in the world. We didn't win anything but he loved Newcastle football club and nothing could beat the atmosphere at St James's during the Keagan years.
His grandfather, father and uncle were all from the North East's mining industry and I think he genuinely thought a lot for the people up here.

Newcastle have a lot to thank him for what a legend
we cant thank him enough... hes in the hearts of geordies
Legend that lad
King Kev been talking to Howe it would be amazing to see this guy back
I met KK in Bangkok around 1998, I had been playing badly for my employer Siemens and got friendly with a police man in Thonglor.
A total gent, an honest bloke, I was 30 years old at the time and watched him from the benches at Newcastle.
The real mighty mouse!
Legend
Hamburg Keegan never seen him play but heard he was class
Should be a Carlsberg advert that😂
Is there a full episode of this ??
NAHHHH... FOR ME PERSONALLY ETIHAD HAVE A GREAT ATMOSPHERE WITH 20K FANS ON THE STADIUM WAS INCREDIBLE
Kevin has always 100% understood us fans. Hope that he is given the role he deserves and is looked after by our new owners. After 14 years WE HAVE OUR CLUB BACK.
Love Wor Kev, black & white legend
🖤🤍🖤
Liverpool, newcastle, and celtic have best fans in britain in stadiums, especially since stadiums went all seater and so many big stands were lost.
Must be amazing to be a player playing for your fav club, running out to such amazing fans, especially when your playing towards there main home stand.
Liverpool aren’t even louder than Everton
KING OF THE NORTH 🤴
read his book makes you love this guy even more.
Hes special
He just gets it ....
Legend end of !!!
King kev ⚫⚪
❤️
Hope you come back as an ambassador Kevin and I hope the club provide some form of gratitude for all you have done for NUFC, maybe name a stand after you.
thank you Keegan you made me love nufc to this day
two words king kev bring him back in some sort of of roll true legend be great to see him walk on the pitch against forest he deserves that at least wor flags get ready
if any man who knows the club inside and out is kevin keegan he should be the man to lead newcastle as he was the only manager that got the club firing on all cylinders i think tho if he was manager again hed show us the glory years again dont need to look else were
Over the years there's only ever been 2 managers who understand what being a Newcastle supporter is all about...Sir Bobby , and Keegan .
Joe Harvey understood the Geordies as much as anyone , maybe before your time though.
Kev looking well.
Would love Keegan shearer and big Les having some role at the club
Les ferdinand?? Why
Keegan would have won the league if they had a world class GK!
Absolutely fantastic talk from Kevin. Our messiah. Our king. The best thing to happen at NUFC before our recent takeover. A superb man.
Newcastle fans are the greatest they deserve a trophy on their performance.
Loved KK when he Managed City from 2001 to 2005 his best signings was Silvain Distan and Nicolas Anelka. His biggest mistake in management in my humble opinion, was signing Fastino asprilla great player but wrong signing at that time cost the Geordies the league in 96 for me I'm glad Newcastle got the takeover. Great Club, Great City and people. MCFC
Legend isn’t he… He always tried to get the best players at his clubs because he’s a winner. Great to hear he’s thought of so highly at City too 🔵🔵⚫️⚪️
Nonsense
@@maggotdrowner2940 What is??
Now Ashley has been kicked out of Newcastle, King Kevin is definitely going to be welcomed back at St James's Park. Legendary manager who was disrespected by the Sports Direct tycoon.
KEEGAN KEEGAN
Good luck to Newcastle with there new owners you deserve it from a Watford supporter wish we could get new owners
The Keegan of 1992 would be the ideal manager for the future. Kev was my idol as a kid and the reason I wanted to play football. I was on the Kop when he scored on his debut in 1971.
Steve Harmison...what a bowler.
One word for keegan LEGEND. Be nice if he came back and managed the club again !!! Why not.
top manager
Can’t wait too see king kev back at James park the man deserves a statue!
What did he win with Newcastle?
@@blue_red_screen what do you mean nakka? It’s not all about trophies, what he did for the club/the fans made us believe again and very nearly won the title
@@DYL2020 ya choked a 12 point lead 🤣
@@blue_red_screen we did aye don’t remind is😂 but that team was called the entertainers for a reason, KKs mindset was if they score 1 we score 2 and I get the same vibe under Howe I think trophies will come but it will take time
Good job interview that ,,,,,,,your hired 😎
No manager has ever understood his city and his fans as well as Keegan understood us.
Hope they rename the east stand after him
King Kev, still a Geordie hero.
Premier league title is on the way to Newcastle within this decade now.
Bang on. Which is why I've fully supported wor current squad. They aren't the most talented bunch. And Steve Bruce is not a good manager. But this current group of players have worked their balls off for the club.
I look at the side who were relegated in 2009, who were a bunch of football mercenaries; simply showing up every week to collect their weekly wages... I hope those days don't return...
We have the finances now. And we'll get a good manager in. But it takes a special person and player to wear a Newcastle shirt.
if i woke tomorrow to find KK back in charge and Shearer in the mix i could die a happy man.
I remember on the kop watching Kevin.king o d kop
Kevin does a pretty good impersonation of Freddie Starr
Kevin Keegan had the last laugh over sir alex
Newcastle were giving away free season tickets to fill their ground a few months ago
