You can go on and we always talk about the greats and this fellow was good and this fellow.
Of course, Kevin Keegan had time for everybody.
He would spend hours.
He would go along to do something.
And if he was supposed to finish at 10 o'clock, he'd still be there at midnight.
He never refused a photograph.
He never refused a signature.
When we played for England, he was a superstar worldwide.
We could be in Romania or something.
There'd be scruffy kids standing at the front just wanting a scrap of paper to be signed.
He would sit on the front step of the bus.
And he would sign everything until Ron Green would have to go, Kev, we really need to go.
And he'd apologize to the kids in his, obviously, his way and say, look, I've got to go.
But he wouldn't let anybody down.
He was the most humble of people.
which pushed him to greatness.
But the other side is he knew, particularly with the England manager's role, that he didn't have what it takes to take a team forward.
And he was similar with Newcastle.
And that was the greatness, the honesty that this guy had within the game.
And yes, we'll all go, oh yeah, everybody.
