My NUFC - Why I loved Kevin Keegan NUFC
My Newcastle United – Why I loved Kevin KeeganHere at The Mag we have introduced a new feature, asking a number of our regular / irregular contributors to write about a past Newcastle United player that they liked / loved for whatever reason, not necessarily the best player they have ever seen.
How on earth we’d pulled off such a transfer coup, goodness only knows… and I recall a sense of bewilderment as well as genuine excitement at the prospect of this pocket dynamo arriving. Signing from Southampton via SV Hamburg, Liverpool and England with two Ballon d’or titles and coming to NUFC to turn our fortunes round.
The atmosphere was electric and had been building from early morning. With thousands locked outside, including the author, the man we were to christenscored the winner at a packed Gallowgate End in the second half, throwing himself into the throng after the crowd had, in his words, “…sucked the ball into the net. I just wanted to stay there forever” exclaimed King Kev to the press corp afterwards.
In February 1984, I attended my first away game at a packed Maine Road and King Kev scored one of our goals in a huge 2-1 win.also scored a crucial goal in our 5-1 demolition of Carlisle on Easter Monday 1984, his header from a Chris Waddle centre coming literally seconds after Kevin Carr had saved a penalty at the Leazes End.
