Steve Watson knows how the good times roll at St James' Park after he spent a huge chapter of his career in Kevin Keegan's Entertainers side. Watson dovetailed perfectly into Keegan then Kenny Dalglish's team and gelled with stars like David Ginola, Les Ferdinand, Philippe Albert, Tino Asprilla and Alan Shearer as Newcastle finished in the Premier League's top two and had some great nights in Europe, beating the likes of Barcelona along the way.
