Honouring A Legend: Kevin Keegan Tribute Display

Honouring A Legend: Kevin Keegan Tribute Display

Sat 31 Oct & Sun 1 Nov
Free entry, booking essential 

Thousands of supporters paid tribute to the Magpies legend following his passing, leaving heartfelt messages, shirts, scarves and mementos outside St. James' Park. The club's opening Premier League fixture against Liverpool, another of Keegan's former clubs, also provided an emotional opportunity for supporters to come together in remembrance.

Now, those tributes will form a free public display at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art on Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November, offering visitors the chance to honour a figure whose influence on Newcastle United and the region spanned generations.

The display will feature tributes created by the club and supporters in memory of Kevin Keegan, including:

• The centre-circle banner: The 17.5-metre banner, designed by fan group Wor Flags, using over 500 football shirts and handwritten tributes left outside St. James’ Park.
• Feature Image: A statement photograph wall capturing the tributes shared by fans during the fixture against Liverpool in August.
• Memorial film projection: Screening of Newcastle United's commemorative film celebrating the legendary former player and manager.

Newcastle United staff and volunteers and Baltic Crew will be on hand throughout the weekend to assist visitors and facilitate the experience.
