🖤🤍… 😢

To Newcastle, Kevin Keegan was the man who not only transformed a football cub, but the mood, culture & perception of an entire city. With that, he shaped childhoods, lives. You cannot underestimate the power of one person in a relatively short space of time. His enthusiasm, energy & charisma made everyone want to go with him. He represented hope. Your dreams were in his hands, and that's exactly where you wanted them to be. The trophy didn't happen in the end, but it didn't matter. Wow, it was fun to be around. That was because of Keegan. Thank you for the memories. RIP King Kev.

⚫️⚪️ MICHAEL OWEN: I was nervous about Kevin Keegan's arrival at Newcastle in 2008 after our spell with England, but I was so happy to be so wrong

🤍 He was warm, kind & genuine - and a head tennis master!

Statement on behalf of Terry McDermott and his family

We are heartbroken by the loss of our dear friend, Kevin Keegan.

Kevin was so much more than a teammate. He was a lifelong friend whose warmth, loyalty, humour and passion for football touched so many lives. The memories they shared, both on and off the pitch, will be treasured forever.

Although Terry’s dementia means he is no longer able to express his feelings publicly, we know how much Kevin meant to him and how deeply this loss would have affected him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jean, Laura, Sarah and all of Kevin’s family at this incredibly sad time. We hope they find comfort in the love and respect being shown for Kevin by so many people.

Kevin was one of football’s true greats, but to Terry he was, above all, a cherished friend.

He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. #nufc #lfc

📺 Reflections from the World Cup Final…

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

🥊 The Fight

🇦🇷 Leandro Paredes sent off post match for… yeah, loads of stuff

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

🇪🇸 Spain take centre stage. Donald Trump presents the trophy but shuffles stage left for the lift.

🇪🇸 WORLD CUP FINAL PLAYER RATINGS 🇦🇷

⬇️ Messi 5, Fernandez 3... but two Spain subs score highest

https://t.co/EJZbEcuKYj

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

🇪🇸 Spain made hard work of that, given how superior they were to Argentina from the off. Still, the right team won this match & the tournament. Introduction of Williams & Torres was the inspiration they needed.

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

Not sure there was anything wrong with that goal from the replays we've seen here.

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

We'd had seven goals by the second ad break last night.

Bieber with more penalty-box entries than Messi so far

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

This game needs a half-time show.

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

The tournament is not getting the final it deserved so far.
3pm beneath a belting New York sun might have something to do with that.

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

@leighralphuae It's playing very slow.

[Craig Hope @CraigHope_DM]

🇦🇷🇪🇸 Ready for kick-off… I suspect Spain will show England how you beat Argentina over 90 minutes… but I do hope Messi proves me wrong.
