Former Newcastle United defender Steve Howey says Kevin Keegan showed everybody on Tyneside how "open, honest and beautiful" he was through his long-standing affiliation to the club. Howey played under Keegan throughout his entire first spell as Newcastle manager, with the pair taking the club back to the first division in 1992-93, and then reunited at Manchester City in May 2001. "He was a huge part of my career, particularly at the very start," Howey told BBC Radio Newcastle.
