| STAR PROFILE: Kevin Keegan unveils the Flybe plane renamed in his honour |
NEWCASTLE United
manager Kevin Keegan was
honoured yesterday when an
airline company renamed a
plane in recognition of his
legendary status on
Tyneside.
Flybe's regular flight from
Newcastle to Southampton
now bears the Magpies'
manager's name and a
picture of him during his
playing days.
The Bombardier Q400,
which will also be flying
from Newcastle to Gatwick,
has a new registration code
of KKEV.
The former England and
Manchester City manager is
the third football star to be
honoured by Flybe.
Former Southampton
striker Matt Le Tissier has
his name on the airline's
flight from the south coast
city to Jersey, and the flight
from Manchester to Belfast
is in honour of the late
George Best.
Keegan said: "I left
Southampton to come to
Newcastle as a player and
my daughter lives there, so
that's a fantastic link."
