Steven Taylor: "He's just got that aura about him.
"He's just a massive icon, simple as that. He cheers everyone up. He cracks jokes, mingles with everybody. He brings that bit of confidence.
No Change From Toon Defender!
"Results haven't helped, but if you've had a bad day or are feeling low, he puts an arm around you. He gets you up for it. He has that special something when he walks in the room. He's got so much respect from everybody.
"There could have been no better appointment. I think Alan Shearer was probably the only one who could compete. The fans are still singing Keegan's name and I think it was what they wanted.
"We're in a bad position at the moment. But we're confident we can get out of that and the players are 100 per cent behind Mr Keegan. One win and you'll see a massive change.
"The thing everyone keeps going on about is time.
"The gaffer has said that as well. It might take a couple of years to get things sorted, but it will be worth it in the end. You've got to be patient.
"We're going through that struggle now, but once we come through it we'll take off. Next season we will kick on."
