Martins: "I didn't know a lot about him when he came. The rest of the lads were all telling me what he was like as a manager and a positive person.

"I went to Youtube because I wanted to see his goals when he was a player and get a good look at his team and how they played.

"He was a fantastic player and I would have to say he was better than me. The team which came so close to the title here (in 1995-96) was a great team. You can see from those clips and the way he is now that he is a manager who loves his strikers and loves scoring goals.

"He had to change a lot of things when he came in and now everybody loves him and wants him to stay.

"It is good fun playing in Kevin Keegan's side. Even on the training ground it is all about attack and playing football. I am enjoying my football, I am happy with my form, happy we are winning, happy I am scoring goals and happy Michael (Owen) and Mark (Viduka) are scoring as well."

"This season is just about trying to win our remaining games. I played in the Champions League for Inter and I believe in the future I can play in the Champions League for Newcastle.''
