16/04/1994 v Liverpool (a) 2-0 Premiership

"An amazing day all round. We were warming up at the start of the game when a Newcastle fan came onto the pitch and laid a wreath in our penalty area. You could sense the emotion around the ground and both sets of fans were amazing that day. Rob Lee scored early on and Ruel Fox had a hand in the second. Didn't he play it through for Andy Cole to run on and score after we had cleared a corner?

"Even though they were losing 2-0 you could hear constant noise from both sets of fans and I think at one point the whole ground was singing "You'll Never Walk Alone". Although, you are concentrating fully on the game, you are aware of what the crowd are chanting and you feel it on the pitch. I remember feeling really proud to be a part of it all and Keegan was as happy after that game as I can ever recall seeing him. I think he was so pleased because he had seen his own side do what the great Liverpool sides of the 70's had done and to do it Anfield was a dream for him. He subbed Venners and Beardsley late in the game and as ex-Liverpool players they got a fantastic reception which capped a fantastic and emotional day."
