Early in November, we brought you news (see below) of a Kevin Keegan initiative from Wor Flags.
They revealed that they were planning a special tribute to the great man.
Wor Flags asking for donations to help make this Kevin Keegan tribute happen.
It was widely expected amongst the NUFC fanbase that this special KK display would be planned for the Liverpool game, as he had played for both clubs.
However, now Wor Flags have given an update, revealing that this will not be the case.
Whether that was the original plan or not, it isn’t happening for this Liverpool game.
Wor Flags now giving this Kevin Keegan/Liverpool match update via their social media:
‘Liverpool (H)
Thanks to your incredibly generous donations, we have all the makings of a display fit for King Kev. We’re excited to share this with you in the future.
This week however, we felt the timing called for something different.
Howay the Lads.’
The Mag report – 6 November 2024:
The departure of Mike Ashley meant the return of Wor Flags to matches, as they ended their boycott.
The pre-match flag displays once again becoming part of the matchday routine.
Ahead of the first home match of the 2022/23 season, Wor Flags invited all fans to consider helping them with future flag displays by setting up a regular monthly donation to assist in funding them. See below how to get involved.

‘2024 Kevin Keegan Display Donation’
I can’t see any mention of exactly when this Kevin Keegan special display is planned for BUT fair to assume I reckon, that we are looking at exactly four weeks today, when we have Newcastle v Liverpool at St James’ Park on Wednesday 4 December 2024.
The Wor Flags ‘goal’ explained:
‘Our Goal
Wor Flags goal is straightforward – to create displays at St James’ Park that are worthy of this great club. We will achieve this in the following ways:
Hundreds of black and white hand-held waver flags
Larger custom design one and two poler waver flags
Large text banners featuring messages of support
Foils, surfers and custom tifos’
On behalf of everybody who visits The Mag, we signed up in summer 2022 to make a modest regular monthly donation to help fund Wor Flags and that is ongoing.
