Keegan remembers the extinct Tigers (The Malay Mail)

NEWCASTLE manager Kevin Keegan still remembers fondly his time as player-
coach with the Tigers squad in the 1984 Merdeka tournament.
 Keegan, who is a guest of the Brunei royal family together with Peter
Beardsley and Darren Peacock, was at Stadium Negara Hassanal Bolkiah in
Bandar Seri Begawan last night where Brunei hosted Johor in a Malaysia Cup
match.
 Keegan, who wrote a column for the Malay Mail during his stay here, was
curious about the Tigers, the national back-up squad.
 "There were several talented players in the team. Did any of them make
the national team?" he asked.
 The Tigers are long extinct.
 Keegan said he would be in Brunei for several days and might conduct
coaching clinics for schoolchildren.
 "I will probably be back in Brunei with the full Newcastle team for a
few friendly matches.
 "Maybe, we will come to Malaysia. I would really like to go back there
again," said Keegan.
 On Newcastle's performance in the English Premier League where they are
table leaders, Keegan said it was good start but too early in the season
to mean very much.
 "We still have a long way to go in the season. We are doing well but I
will be happier if we are still doing this well towards the end of the
season," said the amiable Keegan.
