"We laugh at it now" - Kevin Keegan on his rant 

Never forget this man has not 1 but 2 Ballon d’or’s to his name.

Football misses him so bad......great player, great manager , great man.

Top bloke Kevin wish he was on TV more.

He's 70. He looks fantastic !

Kevin keegan is an absolute legend, as honest as they come

I am telling ya I WOULD LOVE IT IF HE DID THAT AGAIN!

Kevin wore his heart on his sleeve. Like the man. Great footballer and his teams played entertaining cavalier football.

-Multiple Balon dor winner -One of the best players to ever play the game -Won plenty of trophies -*Is remembered for a silly rant in 1996*

Newcastle United “should” have won the Premier League in 95/96. No question about it, the players let Kevin down when they went on a horrendous run of 8 games after being 12 points clear. The football they dished up that season was exciting, attacking and full of flair. Great player and manager, he’s the type of guy who any fan would love to have as their manager. Kevin’s the reason why I became a Liverpool fan in 1971 (50 years ago, wow I can’t believe it, where has the time gone?). Bill Shankly had just signed him and Liverpool were getting ready for the 1971 FA Cup Final against Arsenal, which they lost 1-2, and Kevin wasn’t selected. One of the most respected men in football, love you Kevin, keep well and stay in good health, Rob.

Need more men like Keegan in the game.

Kevin Keegan - Liverpool and Newcastle Legend.

Not only a great player but a likeable, genuine guy 👏

As a city fan I have great memories of our team with keegan as manager. Was great times.

Amazing player, amazing manager, amazing person. He made the players and supporters feel like they were 10 feet tall! He is and always will be the Messiah on Tyneside.... KINGKEV

Absolutely one of the best players I've ever seen, still loved in Hamburg and with reason 👍

Defences never got a moment rest with Kevin keegan he was brilliant

Good for him to laugh about it now 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 top man legend actually

This guy is a legend

Kevin Keegan is a proper decent man and btw what a footballer he was also. I have utter respect for him as a player and a manager. I would have loved it if he had won the league with Newcastle just as long as it didn't deprive MUFC. He deserves much more respect imo. One of the very, very few decent and honest man who have come through that despicable club LFC. Shanks, St John, Keegan all great men, despite their association with LFC!!!

The thing I remember most about the era with Newcastle was this old man who was a supporter of them and the camera would often pick him out in the crowd, he was in his 80's and you could see how much passion he still had for the team and seeing them win the title probably would have sent him to his grave a happy man and sadly it didn't happen.I can't find videos of the man anywhere but he definitely was picked out by the cameras in a number of matches.

Of course it was mind games and it worked because it made Keegan and Newcastle over think thing. The same thing happened when Rafa went on his fact rant although that was aimed at trying to make others give decisions in their favour and it worked in the wrong way as it put more pressure on the team. Things like that are amazing to see happen because regardless of you believe in it sometimes all you have to do is get in the head of one player on the pitch and that negativity spreads.

What a player, and a decent man aswell.

At least it showed that he actually cared. That Newcastle side played good football; such a shame that they didn't win the title that year.

Is that Steve Harmison doing the interview?

TOTAL LEGEND Kevin keegan thanks for the memories.

Kevin Keegan always will be a legend.

A truly, lovely man

Wonder what his initial reaction to getting that “I would love it” shirt was. “When you put that on football shirts like what you’ve printed on Man Utd’s, and when you say things like that about a man like Kevin Keegan?!”

1995/96 was a special year for Newcastle United fans, I only wish that it could happen again

Great days! 🎸🍻🤘😎

My man Liverpool legend is a legend of Sky Sports.I am telling ya I WOULD LOVE IT IF HE RANT AGAIN LOVE IT

It's shocking to someone of my sort of age to realise that there now exists a generation (possibly even two) of people that have no tangible idea of just how good a player this man was!

I’m a Newcastle supporter so biased, but imo it’s exactly like the interviewer says, I watch that interview and I feel as Keegan feels in it, I’m pissed off with him. I get fired up just typing about it. Hindsight is 20/20 and people say “mInD GaMeS” now, but if NUFC had won the title people wouldn’t be talking about how Ferguson is a genius for this. There’s nothing wrong with getting fired up for a cause and for your pride. People tend to laugh at anyone who goes on a ‘rant,’ but really those who laugh just don’t care the way that the ranter does. Read the ‘man in the arena’ excerpt from a Roosevelt speech, then tell me Kev is a clown for this.

Had a Kevin Keegan electronic football game, as a little girl. Happy memories of him ❤playing footie! ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⭐

I would have LOVED IT if Newcastle had won the League that season....... I would have LOVED IT

What a legend and a decent bloke. When he was manager of Newcastle builders did work on his house. He used to bring them cups of tea and trays of sandwiches and crack on with them about football. He needs a statue build up of him outside of ST James park or a stand named after him at least when the stadium gets expanded. Although we didn’t win anything the legacy he left behind with his attacking football, big name signings and rant and passion is worth more up in the north east then everything. Manchester City has won.

That season was one of the best ever, he might not have won but he gave us that and he was one hell of a player!

The son in law was a lad

What a great player and what a great manager during that period.

Wish he was back in the game I wud love it

At the time, everyone was pro Keegan and totally with him. The whole bit about him losing it and mocking him only really came about after it was confirmed Man Utd won the title.

I WOULD LUV IT IF WE WIN

King Kev. ❤

I would love it, love it

My nans cousin is old Kev. Never saw him play way before my time but I wrote to him when he was Newcastle manager and he sent me the squads autographs still got them somewhere.

just showing his passion for the club

Brilliant, sound man.

Legend. Top guy

What a legend is right and I'm a man utd fan

Desire, faith, integrity, emotional, Honest.

That Cantona goal at Newcastle broke the back. You could see it in NU fans faces, they knew the tide had turned. Happy days mid 90s.

Gotta love those accents! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I once had a wee next to him at Doncaster horse racing sales in 2000. He didn't rant at me though. Would have been quite strange if he did, considering we both had our nobs out.

Passion and Integrity. A true role model, the type generally lost in the modern game.

SUPER KEVIN KEEGAN,,

Looks like John Bercow

I love this video, love it! Lol

He won European Footballer of the Year which is different to the Balon D'or, as it excluded non European players.

I've never really seen what is wrong with this interview. He's literally just saying he wants to win the title.

One of the truly great Premier League moments. No shame in letting the psychological games of the legendary mind master Sir Alex Ferguson undo your Premier League title hopes. Classic.

DOESN'T GET THE RECOGNITION OR RESPECT HE DESERVES. HE WAS BEST PLAYER OF HIS GENERATION AND A GENTLEMAN.

People can laugh but what a team... 10 attacking players and Darren Peacock. Even Pav (RIP) wanted to play out of goal..

That he still doesn't understand that Ferguson wasn't serious is absolutely mental.

Scunthorpe United legend!

When did Keegan start to sound posh? I haven't heard him talk for a while and that was a surprise!!!

The media milked this issue to death

Notts Forest lol you mean Nottingham Forest who done a job on Hamburg

His son in law sounds like a good lad👍😂

Is the interviewer Steve Harmison? Uncanny similarity

Kevin was a great player... indeed top 3 England greatest player.,.behind Sir Bobby and Wayne Rooney.

BEST EVER PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON nuff said

Poetry in motion 🙂

Is Steve Harmison the host????? 🤔

Cant believe how long ago that season was, i dont mind united but did want Newcastle to win that season, shame they didnt but Kevin Keegans passion was absolutely immense, no one can fault that.

As a Man Utd supporter…I have so much respect for KK…what you see is what you get

He looks great for his age

Wish he was at newcastle now always good to watch instead of the dross thats being offered up now under cashley 😡

I'll love it, if we beat them!

Ledge.

Man utd can have there titles but they can never have our spirit. The way he cared about our football club was unrivaled. Wouldn’t trade him for the world

Hes still would up about it now 😂😂

Is that Steve hHarmison?

Ferguson. The mind games king

He's absolutely contradicted himself when he said teams in England don't throw games and then admits Ian Woan said he didn't know if he wanted that goal to go in. So Fergie was right all along 👍

Legitimately the best player in Europe at one point, but folk born in the '80s like me remember him as the poor sod who got played like a fiddle by Fergie.

Fergie was a master at getting under the skin and Wenger was next to taste his wrath more often than not.

Love the bloke and I'm a Sunderland fan!

BASED son-in-law

That must have hurt being smashed by your old club.

Well, you can have “if onlys in football”. So, if only Newcastle had not sold Andy Cole, still the club’s record goalscorer in a single season in the Prem - and unlike Shearer he never took penalties - Man United might never have won the Treble or some of their titles. And who knows, Newcastle might even have pipped them in one of those seasons. Sorry Kev, but selling Andy Cole to Man Utd, a powerful and direct rival - still ranks for me as one of the worst decisions ever made by a Newcastle manager.

Lockdown - retro is goated Now - 10 comments #reviveretro

Why isn't he seen as one of tge best players ever? He needed to big himself up more

When Ferguson made that suggestion about teams not trying as hard against Newcastle Keegan should have just shrugged and laughed and said to the camera, 'D'you know what? I wish that was true and teams DID lay down and let us beat them. But the simple truth is, they don't. Next question.' He could have seethed in private about it, but not in public. Keegan was my hero in football. I was a 10 year old on the Kop when he made his debut against Forest and he scored a goal in that game. His partnership with John Toshack was legendary.

Why do I see Henry cavill?

Sorry, what forest?

You'll never ever be able to live that I would love it remark down Kevin keegan the 1995/96 season still remains my most Favorite season as a Man Utd fan it holds so many great memories 4 me not just 4 the football tho

Gerrard ain't fit to lace Keegans boots end of debate! Saw Keegan score a brilliant goal v Republic of Ireland in 1978 at Wembley. Brilliant player and a gentleman

.

I'd love it if he sent me that man utd Jersey he got off his son in law

Ruv it
