killer keeley... legend

[Taggs82]

Tried to just chip it back to his keeper he got it all wrong.' Is this the understatement of the century. It is one of the worst own goals of all time. ITV sport at its best.

[sirtobyselfridge]

Roger Tames was a dreadful commentator - Ray Varadi indeed!

[pablotjob]

how many points per won matches????..

3 pts per won match? i think that's newer..in 1983 if you win a match, you have 2 pts more.and QPR played 35 and had 72 pts..really????

[ralphtheclaret]

Crowd was actually only 17,839 and it was 3 points for a win

[lifeonloop]

Actually the previous season average was the 8th highest in the country,at just under 20000.Thats despite finishing mid table in div2.Dont let those facts get in the way of a good myth eh?

[plhokko]

nice to see geordies had there usual 12,000 crowd in attendance! typical geordies of that  time! best supporters in the country?? yeah right!

[paulodnufc]

I was at the game and was around 30,000 there, 3rd highest average in the country that year and we were in (old) 2nd division,

Get your facts right you mackem twat!!!!!!!

[plhokko]

read the keegan comment below! well lets see how many you chaps get next year in the championship??? you,ll average around 25,000! if your lucky??

[lifeonloop]

ha ha, what were you saying? 25k if we are lucky? 5th highest in country mate, 43000 thats even with a big stay away till Ashley sells up.

[paulframe163]

averaging 40,000 at the back end of the season.good prediction there mate

[lifeonloop]

thick twat only man utd and Liverpool averaged higher that season....and we were in the old 2nd division, and the average was 29000!

[plhokko]

the only reason geordies averaged 29,000 that season is because keegan was there? otherwise it would have been half of that! you know it! and i know it!

[qpr60]

Terrific goal by the Blackburn defender, pity it was in the wrong net!

[WELLBRAN]

Varadi yeah he was a good player, remember him

[damobrfc1875]

What a great own goal! You cant teach it!
