10 Biggest Radge Packets Ever To Play For Newcastle

3. Brian Kilcline

Brian Kilcline is remembered for a lot of things - his beard, his hair and his temperament being the main ones - but being Kevin Keegan's best signing, and doing more than most to save Newcastle from relegation in 1992 should be top of the list. Unfortunately for him - or fortunately, if you believe more in the value of cult than actual history - Killer, as he was affectionately (and fearfully) known is remembered as a warrior and a very tough customer, who took scalps and asked questions later. He's a gentle giant away from football, so the image of him baying for blood on the pitch is a jarring indication of the two sides of his coin, as so is the affection in his words when he admits he "got up to a few naughty things on the field and (the fans) lapped that up."
