Steve Watson knows how the good times roll at St James' Park after he spent a huge chapter of his career in Kevin Keegan's Entertainers side. Watson dovetailed perfectly into Keegan then Kenny Dalglish's team and gelled with stars like David Ginola, Les Ferdinand, Philippe Albert, Tino Asprilla and Alan Shearer as Newcastle finished in the Premier League's top two and had some great nights in Europe, beating the likes of Barcelona along the way.
Watson, now manager Chester City and calmly guiding them to safety in the National League, is delighted to see the Magpies thinking big again. The former Toon star has been one of a host of former players that the new board have invited to games and offered them VIP treatment, something that had disappeared under previous management.
Now Watson is excited as a Newcastle fan to see the club pulling away from danger and already rebuilding for next season.
