I once worked how much he cost per match, can't remember what it was now but it they were scary figures.
Quick wiki says 79 apps, 17million over 79 works out about £250,000 per appearance ish? No doubt it didn't work out how we hoped. The t**t running down his contract and stopping trying when we were heading down left a sour taste in the mouth too.
I can imagine. He'll always be a subject of ridicule in the north east, us lot piss taking and I'm sure you lot just plainly dislike him.
Yeah the local journos came out and said he was the worst NUFC captain they ever had to deal with, always refusing interviews and just being plain rude. You'll do well to find a Newcastle fan who doesn't hate him tbh. Not if you eat your fruit EDIT: So says wor lass anyway
****ing hell, I forgot he was made captain. What a strange thing to do. It's not like he was captain at Liverpool or Real.
Yeah that was Keegan's master stroke because Owen supposedly worked so hard...must have been a beast on the training ground cos even in his pomp you would never describe him as a hard working player.
