He never got a chance with England really, Vassell shinned a sitter in with SKP waiting behind him to mop up if he fked up and that was that. Vassell got a run and SuperKev written off.
Although not convinced that Shearer might not have had a hand in that, what with SKP playing for us...
Agreed, used to piss me right off that players who could and should have made it were shafted by being put in makeshift teams just so the manager could say he gave them a chance.Skp never played in a "full" England side. Always seemed to be a B side or players. He would've done well in a full strength team.
Aye it was, I was thinking might be one to watch if we go up and have some investment.
He scored -but not one of his best. Cut in from left hand side of box and fired low into far corner. Result 1-1Absolutely hopeless at remembering goals.
I just manage to remember that he scored a good goal in certain games.
That said, perhaps someone with a better memory than me can help.
After we won at Swindon with, it seemed, half of the North East there and didn't go up, we then played them first game of the season, or first away game of the season at their place.
Am I right in thinking that he scored another absolute cracker in that game as well?
Maybe some sort of volley or scissor kick?
Must mean that he’s coming home.He was with 4 of his mates just visiting, don't start that he is coming home.
He scored 30 PL goals, went to the Euro's & didn't get a single minutes game time iirc.
Cheers for that.He scored -but not one of his best. Cut in from left hand side of box and fired low into far corner. Result 1-1
He scored a very similar goal against Watford at home, a curler from outside the box, into the top corner of the goal.That goal was incredible and you can add Barnsley away, Chelsea home, Everton home and many more to a list of quality goals along with instinctive strikes which proves he was a natural goalscorer.
I think the system and the delivery from wide players and Quinn helped him massively but thats the sign of a quality team we had back then.
As for the coaching and/or manager he’s still got it all to prove but cant see why he wouldn’t be a success would love him to be involved in some capacity here
Best goal scorer I have ever seen. Wish we could find one like him now. My fav goal was the one at Swindon away, f***ing brilliant.
However, was he just a natural goalscorer or was it down to hard work. Can he transfer his skills into coaching?
Goal against the mags, in the rainThat goal was incredible and you can add Barnsley away, Chelsea home, Everton home and many more to a list of quality goals along with instinctive strikes which proves he was a natural goalscorer.

Cheers for that.
Obviously mixing it up with the other one at Swindon.
Also thought we'd won that one as well.
Wtf do I know.
Over 20 years ago now
He was fantastic while Quinn was alongside him and he was still motivated to play for us. His final season with us after Quinn retired and he'd decided he wanted away to improve his chances of playing for England he was pretty poor for the most part.
I haven't seen anything in his personality in interviews that would translate into him being a good manager, but perhaps under a good manager he could make a good strikers' coach.
I loved his one against Liverpool away, got it in his own half, took it on 30yards with the defenders back tracking then buried it from 25 yards.....he could literally score any type of goal.
Brilliant marra.May 1998 SKP scores a brilliant goal v Swindon. Camera almost misses original effort but action replay shows it perfectly. Stick with it because he scores a second 30 seconds into the 98 second video.
August 1998 - the beginning of the 105 point season. We drew 1-1 at Swindon. SKP's goal is just after 4 minutes of this 6 minuter video. Enjoy!
Remember my uncle talking about Cloughie, saying that he could " score from anywhere".I loved his one against Liverpool away, got it in his own half, took it on 30yards with the defenders back tracking then buried it from 25 yards.....he could literally score any type of goal.
