00:00I'm a massive fan of Kevin Keegan. He's the reason that I became a season ticket holder.
00:05I started watching them when he was in charge of the entertainers.
00:08We just had a bum. It's Keegan. He's the life. It's all of, not just Newcastle, the whole of the
00:15North East.
00:16He just, he brought up club club. He's just, he's amazing. We just had a comfort zone for hours down.
00:21If it wasn't for Kevin, we wouldn't have a football club.
00:23In 1992, on the verge of going to the third division, on the verge of bankruptcy.
00:30This guy was able to pull the players, get the board on side and bring the club forward.
00:37It's what it is now. It wasn't for King Kev. He probably wouldn't have a football club.
00:41So a big thanks to King Kevin.
00:43The 5-0 defeat of Manchester United was something that lives long in memory.
00:48I've got the recording of that, you know.
00:51Philippe Albert, chip in Schmeichel. Wow, what a moment that was.
00:55He was beautiful. He was lovely. He signed autographs for everybody.
00:59Nothing was, nothing was a problem. He was just a lovely, lovely man.
01:02I think the day that he brought Shearer back, for me, watching that on the telly,
01:08it's just, it was just amazing to have Shearer come home.
01:12And to play for this amazing club was just unbelievable.
01:16So I had to come down and pay my respects to a local hero,
01:20a Geordie God, a footballing icon, an institution.
01:25God, rest in peace, King Kev.
01:27Amen.
01:29Rest in peace.
