'A bit of fear' - Newcastle may have pulled off Kevin Keegan masterstroke after 'thug' advice
It may be hard to imagine now, but Brian Kilcline was so nervous about joining Newcastle United that the fearsome centre-back was as 'white as a ghost' by the time he reached Washington Services. It was not the scale of the task that frightened Kilcline as Newcastle fought for their lives in the old First Division in 1992. Rather, it was the fact the veteran was going to be playing for Kevin Keegan in front of those fans in that stadium.
