If you believe in Harry Potter, fairies at the bottom of your garden, and the Da Vinci code ... you will believe new Newcastle owner Mike Ashley wants Kevin Keegan to return to the club as director of football.

"Keegan remains a hero among the Newcastle fans from his time at St James' Park both as a player and manager and Ashley is reported to think that his return would "strike a prestigious blow for the new men in charge".

"Former England manager Keegan has been heavily involved in his 'Soccer Circus' project since leaving Manchester City two years ago but is thought moves have already been made to sound out the 56-year-old in the hope the chance to return to Newcastle would be too tempting to turn down."

Do we need to say anything about Kevin Keegan that you don't know already? Started with Scunthorpe, became a superstar with Liverpool, moved abroad to Hamburg, back to Southampton and in 1982 became one of the greatest signings Newcastle ever made.

World class star, and we haven't had many of those. Retired in 1984 but came back to manage the side in 1992. Won promotion, and came so close to winning the Premiership 1n 1996.
