Honouring A Legend: Kevin Keegan Tribute Display
Sat 31 Oct & Sun 1 Nov
Free entry
Thousands of supporters paid tribute to the Magpies legend following his passing, leaving heartfelt messages, shirts, scarves and mementos outside St. James' Park. The club's opening Premier League fixture against Liverpool, another of Keegan's former clubs, also provided an emotional opportunity for supporters to come together in remembrance.
Now, those tributes will form a free public display at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art on Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November, offering visitors the chance to honour a figure whose influence on Newcastle United and the region spanned generations.
