I miss 90’s football. Newcastle became my (and plenty of others) favourite 2nd team. Happy days.
i'd forgotten how good Cole was in his prime
John Hall was such a likeable and passionate character. Loved the club. Those types of chairman are long gone in the premier league
brought here by Sky posting an interview with Andy Cole after his transfer.
It's amazing to look back on how massive a transfer this was, I guess the modern equivalant might be Torres going to Chelsea (although Cole was clearly better for United than Torres was for Chelsea). Agent/Player power was so different back in 1995.
2:45 - 3:10 - 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Never mind 20 years, it’s now 26 years and counting since John Hall said this and Newcastle have still won fuck all.
And Sunderland have spent 4 more years in the 3rd Division. Daft p@kì mackem poppadom 😁☻
TBF, 6 months later, Keegan brought in Ferdinand, at the time KK knew what he was doing.
nufcdazzla ideally he wanted to pair them together but I believe Cole and Keegans relationship was never the same following the fall out in Oct 93
It was a terrible decision from Keegan
@@Bluearmy76Cole was a nasty lad that needed weeded out.
big shock seing Cole leave
Twenty-six years later and no Premier League titles later and Newcastle are further away than they’ve ever been to winning a trophy.
Yet 28 years later....
Bet our takeover destroyed you? Lovely oil money 💰💰💰
Big shock at the time. Turned out well for Cole tho, he literally won every trophy at club level and Newcastle won fuck all as usual.
He had to win the League Cup with Blackburn though did not manage it with Man United..
King Cole should never ever have sold him biggest mistake Keegan made Sir John Hall great man
Nah, he was replaced by Ferdinand and we shot up the league next season. And then Shearer too.
Still won fuck all though...Cole meanwhile
Kevin didn’t sell him, Keegan was told he was being sold
@@Jack_The_LaddEnded up with a fkd liver and hated by everyone 😆
I am old enough to remember Newcastle winning THE Cup 3 times - and nothing since. Beating Oopsy Daisy in some 3rd rate competition does not count as a real success. Unfortunatley I have seen them lose 3 times at Wembley too.
There are simple reasons for this, and all down to the likes of Seymour, McKaig, Hall, Shepherd(s); Cashley, etc. They sell exceptionally good players for more than they cost and replace them (sometimes) with inferior players.
Just listen to Hall and Keegan. They claim Newcastle will go on to be successful. Since then they have been regularly relegated, regularly threatened with relegation. Even this season - started reasonably, given that they do not have anybody who can consistently hit the target, let alone score goals, but now dropping to the level of their real ability. I remember saying about 1960 Newcastle would not win the league in my lifetime. I expect to live a little while yet, but still have confidence in my prediction.
Great post.
At this point, Newcastle were still building to compete and win something. Between 1992 and 1997, Keegan continued to buy better players to try and win that elusive silverware. I was devastated when we sold Cole but you could say playing with out and out wingers and a target man WAS the improvement that was needed to do so. Alas, we fell short.
We've been relegated twice since this video - twice in 28 years. Thats not regular? And neither is being relegated only 4 times since 1978?
You could be right with your prediction on the league title but there is no way we're out of the champs lge race.
@@NewcastleUnited19801994VideosBut we did not win anything. As you say "Alas we fell short". ONLY relegated 4 times is indeed a regular occurrence. Better teams in the league do not have the same consistency. Agreed some are worse, but add in the near misses or half the season and more being in the danger zone and it is very regularly a concern for all supporters.
As you suggest, two wingers and a goalscorer has to be an improvement on other forms of attempting to score goals. At present a goalscorer is sadly lacking.
@@alanmcdonald4423 I'm more optimistic than you, thats fine. No-one "wins" but that era was brilliant.
And sorry, but getting relegated frequently? I think os Sunderland, Norwich, WBA, etc.....we're nowhere near that.
@@NewcastleUnited19801994Videos How can you say that era was brilliant? We won nothing.
There was a time when we were the highest in FA Cup wins. Allow for memory - maybe equal with Blackburn. Last time we won was 1955. 45 seconds in is the most exciting (not the most important) moment of my long life. Some folks were born and died since then. Even anybody below retirement age has not had the thrill of winning the cup.
I remember when Sunderland were the only team never to have been relegated. It was unthinkable that it might happen to us. How many seasons have you wondered that it might ? Sometimes it did.
@@alanmcdonald4423 Forgive me Alan, for someone brought up in the late 80s watching a relegated side followed by near relegation to the 3rd tier, the following 1992-93 season right up until Dalglish ripped Keegans good work apart - that WAS brilliant.
Factor in we haven't come anywhere near winning the title since...so yes, it was brilliant to anyone of my vintage who witnessed it.
The cup wins you mentioned were well before my time.
But back to the current day, we're in a good position and moving forward. Its your call if you can't see that.
All the best
If they would have said then in 23 years time that the most expensive player in Britain would be £90m they would have laughed. This shows just how much $ky and money has destroyed football now.
You just wait another 20 years when we will be talking about half a billion pound players
@@leonshaw84 The tv revenue has spiked now and ffp.. their wont be much more inreases
England not Britain
Binary Signals lets bliddy hope not. Transfers have gone mad and greedy scum agents have been raking it in and the market has been flooded with continental players
Which is why I don't watch it anymore. Football has become a joke nowadays.
Kevin keegan got it so wrong.. If Cole stayed with Newcastle then history might of been rewritten
Surprised Keegan didnt try for Stan Collymore. According to Collymore's book, his agent Paul Stretford was close to sealing a deal with Man Utd, but when Cole became a possibility they dropped it. Forest would have sold for a cheeky £7 million bid. And Collymore was so highly rated at the time, it would have been as big as the Cole deal.
Gascoigne was a surprise as well. He was available that summer. You'd have thought Keegan would have been well in there with a bid.
NoMoreHideTheBall. For me i believe this was the biggest and worst transfer of the season. In regards to collymore. I dont believe that man utd had any real intentions of signing him. I reckon he was just used as a diversion so the andy cole transfer could run smoothly without the press getting wind of what was going on. Dont get me wrong stan was a good player but from what i was reading in fergusons book for that season andy was their intended target
Newcastle got Keith Gillespie plus 6m for Cole (rated at 1m)
In 1995 summer bought Les Ferdinand for 6m (plus ginola 2.5, Hislop 1.5, Barton 4.5)
With these 5 players they went 12 clear in prem im 1995/1996
Asprilla & batty in jsn 1996
Shearer 15m summer 1996
They spent a lot 18 months following selling Cole
Fatso Gasoigne was'nt coming back to Newcastle. Playing against Hamilton Accies and Airdrieonions had become his level.
@@Bazooka183 Keegan was Newcastle manager 92-97 (during which time gszza was a great player
& 2008 by which time gazza had retired
He wasn’t talking about Keegan signing Gazza for Newcastle in 2003 when he went China. When Gazza went to to China Keegan was man city manager
@@reddevil6585What are you on about? Gascoigne was finished when he disregarded his knee in the Cup Final in 1991. He was a knacker and Lazio got him at a knockdown price. Ended up playing in the pub league for Rangers.
This worked out well... i remember Keegan justifying by saying he'd got £6m and Gillespie
Depends how you look at it. Nufc had a better chance of the title without him (2nd the following 2 seasons) and Gillespie turned into one of the best players in the country later that year.
However, I still think Keegan should never have sold him.
He said at the time if he couldn’t get Gillespie in part exchange, the deal would have been a definite no go.
Gillespie one of the best players in the country…???😂😂😂😂
Maybe he had to go but why to the best team in the league? Even he said he was shocked.
idc what anyone says. Selling your best player midseason to your rivals and title favorite is stupid. You want to reinvest?? Sell him In the summer.
Aye, its difficult to work out the true story as Cole has publicly said he didn't want to leave, but couldn't turn Man Utd down whilst Keegan said he (cole) didn't appear interested around that time so thought it best to cash in and move on. It backfired as we ended up 6th after such a great first few months. Losing Sellers to injury was a huge blow too.
Old king cole!
Andy Cole was a good striker but he did miss a lot of chances as well though, but when you’re getting four or five good chances a game and score once or maybe twice the missed chances are largely forgotten, as opposed to playing in an average side when you might get one good chance in a game and when you miss it’s remembered more but as Kevin Keegan says in his book he suspected that Cole had been tapped up and his attitude hadn’t been good in training for a couple of months, he’d only scored one league goal from late October to January, his relationship with Keegan had soured a bit and Keegan was offered £7 million and Keith Gillespie and that was a huge amount of money in 1995 so he went to John Hall and explained those reasons, that they should take it when Cole’s stock was still high and felt he could buy better players, he bought Les Ferdinand and David Ginola and the team was overall stronger going forward but I think he should have used some of it to buy a centre half and by the following season John Hall was trying to persuade Keegan to buy a defender when the title was within reach but they’re were leaking goals.
Great post. I read an old chronicle yesterday and it stated that Cole had already been sold before the Blackburn cup game (his final appearance). First i've heard of that but yeah, we trusted keegan and he almost got it right although I still think he should never have cashed in on Cole. Gillespie was brilliant mind, really loved his direct wing play and at one point was supplying more goals and assists than Ginola.
Newcastle are still waiting for that Premier League Trophy and European Cup for that then 3 year old fan who is now 28 years of age. (@2:30). Is the foundation right?
Foundations are in place now. We have got lots of loot, and the Saudis are going to take over football just like boxing and golf.
Next?
When that 3 year old grows up, in 20 years Newcastle Utd will still be a successful club 😂🤣
We are now considerably richer than you though 😆
wrong decision when newcastle sold andy cole
TRUE VISIONARY X
This is why Keegan was hopeless as a manager. Sells a striker who can't stop scoring goals to their greatest rivals and they go on to win the league, fa cup, eEuropean cup. Meanwhile Newcastle win nothing even after being 12 points clear.
As much as I loved Cole and was devestated when he left, Keegan had to change our way as we had become too predictable. He went and bought wingers and a target man and it nearly worked.
Hey, ho, no silverware but a very joyful time.
Hopeless? Certainly not.
Idiotic post. Cole was on a massive goal drought at the time. He was a moody soul too, who stank the place out.
6 million would get you a average championship player now, how times have changed. Also when mike ashley sells one of Newcastle’s best players hes a hated man but john hall could smooth things over by going on tv with all his spiel
Idiot
SIR JOHN HALL
This is were all started ...Downfall
Disagree 2003 when Roman bought Chelsea it went to pot
And they won nothing.
Wen did Newcastle win the premier league!!!
Alongside countless others, never.
Your point?
3:00 in your owner says weve won the premier league many times..... does he mean before it was rebranded ..... I know nothing about Newcastles history apart from a group of guys in a tunnel nr Wembley said you never let us win fcukall......1999
Newcastle did win the football league 5 times i think, but not yet the premier league, in 95/96 we thouht we where gonna win it
1926/27 can't believe it's been 100 years already
@@upupnaway5926Manchester United Never Intended Coming Home. MUNICH. Do you still respect it every February, or are you a cockney red who jumped on the bandwagon?
Still achieved nothing
Good times though. Memories last forever
Cole was sold because he was on the cocaine, All kept quiet. Snorting from the table with Ruel Fox in the company of prostitutes in his Darras hall pad.
so why would keegan keep Fox then?
@@NewcastleUnited19801994Videos Cole played 93-95 Fox was only at Newcastle for a year 94-95
I know that mate, my question being, if they were both doing it then why would KK sell Cole and not Fox?
@@NewcastleUnited19801994Videos Fox left for spurs 6-7 months later who knows mate. Cole & Fox were seen by a very good friend of mine whilst he worked as a taxi driver in Newcastle, The taxi driver had a friend in the car with him and told him "Have a look at this" they could see into Cole's place from around the back and they were both hammering the gear, Not long after that cole was shipped out. Great video 👍🏻
I'd heard rumours of Cole and allegedly Lee Clark. Clark knuckled down but Cole didn't and was jettisoned.Thats a shock about Fox!
Cheers mate
Back when the fans mattered
