Newcastle United (1995-1997)
Best memory…
My first memory is probably when I played my first game, my away game, we came back to Newcastle, we beat Sheffield Wednesday away then we came back to Newcastle and we had a drink in town with the boys and I had people throwing themselves to my feet and I didn’t understand I had never had that before and the boys, they were saying to me, welcome to Newcastle now David. .
Memories before he joined the club…
I just knew that Kevin Keegan was in charge because I was watching him at Liverpool when they beat St Etienne. This is when I said to my dad “this is what I want to do in life, I want to be a professional football player.” So, I was watching St Etienne against Liverpool and Kevin Keegan was there and Terry Mac and when I heard that they were manager and assistant coach I said, well, that would be nice.
