Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan is convinced Nicky Butt is primed for a big season ahead.
"I like that type of skipper. He's not one of those who shakes his fist at everybody - he just does his job and says: 'Work as hard as I do'.
"That's why I also like Michael as captain. They're the type of people who are good as captains.
"There's Geremi as well - he was captain against Doncaster. They're good round the group - they care and they help the young players."
