"I came to Nantes two years ago and it's much the same today, except that it's totally different."
Same tournament, I also seem to recall prior to a penalty
"Batty won't miss"
I believe that was Ron Atkinson. Still funny though.
Nope.. definitely Keegan. Question was asked by Brian Moore "You know Batty better than most - will he score - yes or no?"
Keegan "Yes!"
Dammit

Rob Newman (from memory): "Kevin Keegan says he thinks his attackers didn't recognise who he was when they attacked him with baseball bats in his Land Rover.
Oh yeah? Oh chinny reckon. Those people knew exactly who you were Kevin, it's just that some people have very long memories. They remember that miss in the 1982 World Cup against Spain which meant the England didn't get to the semi-finals.
Trevor Brooking had just floated across the most sublime five 'O' Levels-and-no-bookings cross of his career, and all you had to do was just tap it in with your head, and it would have meant England would have progressed in the World Cup.
BUT YOU HAD TO BE FLASH, and give it the old 'wuurrggh' <flicks curly frizz hair>, and the ball went harmlessly wide.
Who did you think they were, Kevin? 'Oh, sorry Kevin, we thought you were a seal...' "
Not exactly the reason I heard about for him getting the kicking I must say.
I apologise to ATFC Seagull then. I dont know why but I was convinced it was big Ron. I stand corrected

Kevin Keegans last professional game was at the Goldstone - before KO I was standing near the front of the West Stand (behind the fences that were still there at that time) watching the players warm up. Alan Ball was running the touchline, some kids in front of me waved their Autograph books and called Alan Ball over.
Alan: "Yes kids what do you want" (trying hard not to seem too keen that these kids "obviously" wanted his Autograph)
Kids: "Can you get Kevin Keegans autograph for us please?"
Alan: (with all the stature that a World Cup Winner can muster) "F*ck off!!"
Funny though!!!
