QUOTES OF THE WEEK

I feel I have taken the club as far as I can and that it would be in the best interests of all concerned if I resigned. Kevin Keegan, Newcastle United manager.

He will never be forgotten. I am stunned. Terry McDermott, caretaker manager at Newcastle.

People are saying it's like the Queen dying. I think it's worse. John Regan, secretary of the Independent Newcastle United Supporters' Club.

It has all happened rather quickly but the club has to go on. Kevin would want that. Sir John Hall, Newcastle's chairman.

If I had any doubts about whether I'd made the right decision they were banished after this. Liam Botham, who decided on a rugby career instead of cricket, after his successful debut for West Hartlepool.

I misjudged it and nearly wore it in the gob. Emily Drumm who caught England captain Mike Atherton in a friendly match in Auckland.
