Of course he was.
However Keegan was about the best we could've had at the time.

That certainly soured things a little and they turned out to be a desperate, failed attempt to get bargain basement style purchases but, in other respects, I always thought it a pity we couldn't scrape the cash together for Daniel van Buyten.
I'm sure it would have made a lot of difference to us longer term.

I can only remember Pearce against Wimbledon and Tiatto against Norwich for sending offs.

And Benarbia and Berkovic is successive home wins.

Milwall, I don't recall the Berkovic one though.

We've all got wonderfully nostalgic memories of him but I'd like to think he would have still stood out today as being a star, amongst all our other fine players.

Yes, sorry, it was Tiatto vs Norwich in the preceding home game that I was thinking of.
Also of course there was Joey's sending off that sparked the come back vs Spurs in the cup.

He was out of a job after the Euro in 2000, then one year later we got him. How? Why us?

Dennis Tueart wasn't it? May be wrong but I think he played the old pals act.

We didn't have Dolla dolla bill Ya'll at the time.
However you remember correctly. Keegan being Keegan he went with his heart over his head and Tueart and some other old timers gave him best pals act. If my memory serves me he had some (at the time) better offers and also from abroad. It was actually very good job by the club the lure him in.

Before we had money we did have a long history of splashing out money we never had. Perfected the art even!
