Return of the King: Kenny Do It Again? P01 | @KingOfTheRooks
Seeing as I have stolen back the Sunday slot, here’s Andrew in his new home of Wednesday. What better way to spend your hump day? He’s got a brand new idea too…
Hello, and welcome back to another series of bringing a squad back to life for an unwise crack at the Premier League of 1997-98. This time, its Blackburn Rovers. Had Kenny Dalglish not resigned as manager following the title win, and the squad had been kept together, would things have been rosier? The only way to find out. Put them back in CM9798 and see what happens! Let’s take a look at the squad.
Playing All The Way – Leeds United P04: The Final Countdown | @KingOfTheRooks
Leeds, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds…in the aftermath of our climb to the top of the table (you can catch up here if you missed it) we’re left facing the fact that it might be temporary with Man Utd’s goal difference. All we can do is try to keep winning.

Welcome back to Yorkshire where real heroes keep playing into their 40’s. If you missed last week, you can catch up here. We’ve been chasing down Man Utd, but their unbelievable form continues.
Playing All The Way – Leeds United P02: Three F****** Goals | @KingOfTheRooks
Hello and welcome back to “your new favourite team is Leeds United”! If you missed the start of this ridiculous save, you can catch up here. We made a repeat start to the season of 1991/92 with a 10-game unbeaten run:
Playing All The Way – Leeds United P01: Dusting Off The Boots
I’m back again for your reading displeasure. Leeds United? Everyone’s favourites right…as ever after finding it a good laugh bringing Keegan’s Newcastle side of 92/93 together again, I’ve decided giving the unlikely lads a crack at the Premier League will be even more fun.
Now with Gordon Strachan and John McClelland now 41 years old, it might be more of a challenge than it was with Newcastle’s 92/93 side. Also, with John Lukic in the sticks, keeping the goals out will be another issue.
So, what have we got to compare to back in 1991/92? Won the league with 82 points. Managed to get to the quarterfinals of the League Cup and knocked out in the third round of the FA Cup.

Andrew and the Newcastle United side of 1992/93 are in their end game for this save. If you’ve bothered to get this far then read on…
“Have no fear, we’ll be back again next” … week? No this is the final part in our saga to take the castoffs of Newcastle’s 1992/93 promotion season back to the Premier League as they are now in 1997/98. If you missed last week, you can catch up, here!

Another week of this you ask? Yes. And here’s Andrew with the class of ’93. Let him entertain you?…
Welcome back champs! Last time out we we’re deprived of our superstar Franz Carr and fell out of the Champions League running and scored less goals. We’re running Man Utd close though. You can catch-up here.

Andrew is back again this week with your latest fix of Newcastle United, as if you haven’t had enough. It’s bat s*** crazy, so here he is to catch you up…
Wey hello there! Welcome back to our attempts to revive Keegan’s Newcastle team of 1992/93 and throw them into the depths of the Premier League. If you missed it, you can catch up with part one here. So far, things are going swimmingly.
It’s Coming Home Newcastle: One Last Shot P01 | @KingOfTheRooks
Ever wondered if Kevin Keegan was wrong to revamp the First Division winning side of 1992/93? No. Well, if there’s a question nobody has asked, then @KingOfTheRooks is willing to ask it. Here is is to explain…
Hello and welcome to another stupid idea that will be carried out in CM9798. That’s right, I’ve had time to think and that’s always trouble.
Kevin Keegan took Newcastle back to the topflight in his first full season at Newcastle with 4 early season signings and 3 late ones. He understandably went and dismantled the core of this squad and improved it over the next few years.
What if we got the band back together, to bring back the buzz of that glorious season for Toon fans, but 5 years later. Can a 37-year-old Kevin Sheedy or a 35-year-old Brian Kilcline cut it at the top table? Probably not. Hell, throw in Mick Quinn for good measure.
Here are your heroes:
