Newcastle legend Ginola: Fergie left Keegan 'disturbed'

Former Newcastle United star David Ginola admits Kevin Keegan 'lost it' during their infamous title collapse against Manchester United in 1995/96.

The Frenchman admitted Keegan was left 'disturbed' by Alex Ferguson during the title run-in in the 1995/96 season when Newcastle blew a 12-point lead, resulting in the now infamous 'Love it' rant.

"Yes he was [disturbed] because we saw a change in his behaviour," Ginola recalled to the Daily Mail.

"On a daily basis in training he was nervous. He was a different guy. If I was Louis Van Gaal, with all the things he won in his career, I would smile because you always try to put the stick on someone you think can do great things.

"Try to disturb a guy like him? I think he needs more than that to be disturbed."
