We'll be paying tribute to the most important man in Newcastle United's history at our season opener against Liverpool on Sunday 23 August.

We have been deeply moved by the many tributes being paid to Kevin Keegan and know that many supporters will wish to honour his memory at St. James’ Park.
Those who would like to leave flowers, scarves or other tributes can do so at the South West Corner of the stadium. We kindly ask everyone to follow the directions of club staff when visiting.
While we understand that many people would like to enter the stadium, we are unfortunately unable to open the stadium bowl at this time due to ongoing works taking place within the bowl and overhead. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to ensure the safety of everyone.
We will be providing details shortly on where supporters can sign a book of condolence.
Please also note that the scheduled launch of the club's new away kit, due to be tomorrow, has been postponed until Friday.
We are devastated to learn of the passing of Kevin Keegan, one of the most iconic, influential and deeply loved figures in our club’s history.
Kevin was more than a legendary footballer and manager. He was the beating heart of Newcastle United for generations of supporters.
🤍 🕊️ A statement on behalf of Kevin Keegan’s family:
“It is with immense sadness that we announce that Kevin Keegan has passed away at the age of 75.
“Kevin had been battling cancer and was surrounded by his wife and daughters in his final moments.
“A double Ballon D’or winner, Kevin was a much loved husband, father and grandfather.
“The family would like to thank Kevin’s incredible medical team for all their support.
“This is a hugely difficult time and they are requesting space and privacy.”

Promised myself I'd keep my head down, but I can't.
If some of you can't see that 2 champions league campaigns and an actual trophy, the best day of our lives, doesn't buy you the time to put it right? Then I'm at a loss. I really am. 🖤🤍
All I'm saying we shouldn't be so reactionary in regards to dismissing Howe.
We sacked Sir Bobby after two Champions League qualifications, because we had a shit start to the season. Then ended up with no Europe for years and the likes of Souness, Allardyce, McClaren in charge.
An offside goal wrongly allowed to stand, a few good penalty shouts waved away and a blatant red card not given.
Apart from that, an excellent half from the officials.
