Naming a stand after gim mighr seem.a bit much, and perhaps Newcastle might like to be the only club to do so anyway.

But he led us back to the PL, we've remained there ever since, and won loads of trophies.

I don't know whether it should be a statue, a mural, a street sign - i think that there does need to be something.


As you say, a statue/stand is a bit OTT. But he should be recognised in some way, a nod to our appreciation of his efforts. I am sure the club will do something

Yep.. I like a street sign idea... then you can have a picture taken by the Kevin Keegan Way

Maybe a friendly with Newcastle and the winner lifts the Kevin Keegan Cup

Ive a feeling that the scouse2s and Newcastle will do that.

I am looking forward to the Geordies coming to Ehad, both fans belting out Walking in a Keegan Wonderland.

Maresca mentioned him in his press conference, that's enough. Statue and signs etc is OTT. Top top guy, one of my favourite managers, but he was with us for 2.5 seasons.

I think the external wall displays outside Etihad include the 2001 - 2002 season.

If not, I'm sure it includes 2003, the year we moved from Moss Side to Eastlands.

Perhaps something there, on those wall displays. Something to stamp that 2001 - 2005 was The Keegan Era.
