'Higher than Kevin Keegan days' - Newcastle United legend predicts bright summer on Tyneside

Newcastle United legend John Beresford will spearhead an end of season party on Tyneside - and knows that the city will be jumping come the end of May, regardless of how the campaign ends.

The former left-back knows how the good times roll at St James' Park after helping the club climb from the bottom of the old Second Division and into Europe in the 1990s. Beresford actually found himself as the club's top scorer in the Champions League at one stage too.

But knows that with the type of investment being bandied around by the Saudi-backed Magpies, the club could eclipse the Keegan era in the years to come. For now, he is happy to marvel at what has been an amazing turnaround under Eddie Howe.
