Sir Alex Ferguson says Kevin Keegan built Newcastle’s ‘best ever team’ as he pays tribute to great rival

Sir Alex Ferguson has paid tribute to his former rival Kevin Keegan, stating that Keegan built Newcastle United's greatest ever team. Ferguson and Keegan shared one of football's most memorable rivalries, famously culminating in Keegan's emotional 'I'd love it, absolutely love it' outburst directed at Ferguson during the 1995-96 Premier League title race. Newcastle ultimately lost that title to Ferguson's Manchester United despite holding a substantial points lead.
