๐ James Milner is the last player in the English top flight who played under Sir Bobby Robson.
This ends a streak where every top-flight season since 1957-58 had at least one Robson-managed player, thanks to overlapping long careers starting with players like Mark Pearson (debuted 1957-58, under Robson at Fulham in 1968) and continuing via his Ipswich and Newcastle squads.
Milner's record career kept it going until now.
2026-27 is the first without since 1956-57!
Wow. Sad fact ๐ค๐ค

๐ Newcastle United legend Kevin Keegan has confirmed his plans to return to St James' Park this upcoming season for the first time since 2008.
Our former manager and player intends to step onto the pitch to greet the Magpies faithful before kick-off, provided current manager Eddie Howe gives the green light to ensure it does not disrupt the team.
โSharing the deeply personal motivation behind his return, Keegan revealed:
โ"I've got stage four cancer. It's been a really tough time - I need to say goodbye to Newcastle United properly... just promise not to build a statue of me at St James' Park until I'm gone."
โHe added:
โ"I want to say goodbye. I didnโt get the chance when I left the club last timeโฆ"
โWhile Special K continues his ongoing treatment, the overwhelming wave of mutual love and adoration at his recent event with Pete Graves undoubtedly provided the best possible therapy.
โThe anticipation is already building for what promises to be an incredibly moving moment. It will be the perfect opportunity for the fans to show their immense gratitude for everything he has given to Newcastle United.
โWhat a man, what a fighter. Thank you, King Kev ๐
