"Keegan was in charge of Newcastle between 1992 and 1997. They were dubbed The Entertainers' due to their cavalier approach to defending, and his belief that the team had a duty to put on a show for the paying public. Arguably his most famous moment came in 1996 when, as Liverpool scored in the last minute to beat his side 4-3 to all but end their fading Premier League title hopes, he slumped over some advertising hoardings."
"On Wednesday, as the Gallowgate End routinely chanted his name, it was Newcastle's joy and Leeds' heartbreak. Harvey Barnes was the calmest man inside St James' Park as the clock ticked into the 12th minute of stoppage time; he slotted home the seventh goal, and his second, of a crazy, frenzied, euphoric game. That same score line, 30 years on, this time brought unbridled joy to Tyneside."
Kevin Keegan managed Newcastle between 1992 and 1997 and the team earned the nickname The Entertainers for a cavalier approach to defending and a commitment to entertaining supporters. Keegan's iconic 1996 reaction came after a last-minute Liverpool goal that ended Premier League title hopes and left him slumped over advertising hoardings. On Wednesday, chants of his name accompanied a rout in which Harvey Barnes scored twice, including a stoppage-time finish that completed a frenzied, euphoric game. Barnes has a reputation for reliability and big-match impact, and teammates emphasized belief, team spirit and never-give-up character.
