Key Corrections in the Kevin Keegan Tribute
A tribute to football legend Kevin Keegan contained errors regarding Newcastle United's league positions during his time as a player. The original article placed the team seventh in his first season, but the correct finish was fifth in Division Two. Additionally, Newcastle's promotion in 1983-84 was incorrectly described as champions; they actually finished third and were promoted via the playoffs.
