But that Newcastle-Liverpool game will be so emotional, won't it?
Because obviously the day after the World Cup final was the sad news of the passing of Kevin Keegan and two of his former clubs.
And the outpouring of emotion, particularly on Tyneside, the amount of shirts and flowers and scarves that were laid down, the wreaths.
outside St.
James' Park was quite astonishing, really, but not surprising, given the impact that he had there as both a player and as a manager.
And the fact that it's Liverpool as the first game where the Newcastle supporters inside St.
James' Park will be able to pay their respects, I think will be quite something to behold.
He was, yeah.
He was full of enthusiasm.
On the day after I told the story on Five Live, I won't go into it now, about the day that we went to Lapland with him, we think it was about 400 deprived kids from Tyneside, and how magical he was with all of those schoolchildren when he was still the Newcastle United manager.
In fact, that was probably weeks before he then resigned in the January of, that would have been 1997,
But my last dealings with him was when Mike Ingham was stepping down.
And what I'd done, Mike, I think, had worked under 11 different England managers and seven of them were still around.
And obviously I reached out to Kevin and said, could you sign this shirt?
Because I was going around getting them all to sign an England shirt to give it to Mike as a farewell gift.
And I contacted Kevin because he was coming up to the North East
to do a dinner.
And so we arranged to meet at Close House.
And I took my boy with me, who at the time would have been, I think, probably about eight or nine.
And Kevin said, you'll meet at this time.
