Keith Gillespie: Part 1 | Newcastle | Sticker No. 350 | 1997

Listen on

Episode notes

Christmas has come early for Ketch as we’ve managed to find a member of The Entertainers! Keith Gillespie was a major part of the iconic Newcastle United side of the 1990s. He was handed his debut for Manchester United under Alex Ferguson, came to the North East as part of the incredible Andy Cole deal and thrived under the attacking setup of Kevin Keegan. Naturally, Keith has been given the honour of a two-part episode, in part one we discuss Alex Ferguson acting as his agent, a sip-by-sip account of a typical night out on the Newcastle Quayside, and THAT 1995/96 season where Newcastle ran out of steam and blew a 12 point lead at the top of the Premier League.
