Day 42
12 may 1984
St. James Park,
Newcastle
One of only four Newcastle players ever to return to the club as manager, Kevin Keegan occupied a prime place in the affections of all Newcastle supporters in two dramatically successful playing years in the stripes from 1982 to 1984. Keegan galvanised the slumbering club and left with United a First Division side, but then was called on to return as manager after eight years out of the game to guide United away from the bottom of the Second Division and into the newly-formed Premier League.
