Kevin Keegan’s appointment as Newcastle manager brings back memories of his infamous rant during his first stint as the club’s manager.  In the 1995-6 season, as the title race reached a climax, a fuming Keegan hit back at taunts from Sir Alex Ferguson by saying: “We're still fighting for this title, and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something, and... and I'll tell you honestly, I will love it if we beat them – love it.”
It was perhaps his most memorable quote, but as you will see below, there’s no shortage of contenders.
