[]
BBC Sport - Sport
Newcastle United and Liverpool are in discussions over a tribute to Kevin Keegan before their Premier League opener at St James' Park.
Keegan, who died at the age of 75 this week, is revered at both clubs, having enjoyed legendary spells as a player with Liverpool and as both player and manager at Newcastle.
The club added they "will work closely with supporter groups... as well as the Premier League, to shape tributes".
Keegan spent two seasons as a Newcastle player from 1982 before returning as their manager in 1992 for the first of two spells in charge.
He won three league titles, the European Cup, two Uefa Cups and the FA Cup during a trophy-laden six years at Liverpool.
