Episode notes

Keith has been afforded the ultimate honour: a 'part two’ episode on Searching For Shineys. The ultimate recognition that he was a legendary player and an extremely likeable interviewee. In this second 45 minute (plus added time) podcast we discuss the 1996-97 season at Newcastle specifically, including the arrival of Alan Shearer for a then World Record fee. Keith then talks us through the trauma of almost signing for Middlesbrough and relegations suffered at Blackburn and Sheffield United. He also touches upon his time playing for Northern Ireland and discusses the issue of gambling in football.
