Friday marks 20 years since Kevin Keegan's 'I will love it' rant and two decades on, it remains one of the Premier League's most unforgettable moments.
Back on April 29, 1996, Keegan's Newcastle side won 1-0 at Leeds to close to within three points of leaders Manchester United with a game in hand and two to play.
Keith Gillespie's goal gave them their third victory in a row and talk among supporters on their way home would likely have been about the exciting end to the campaign which lay ahead.
That was, of course, until Keegan gave his post-match thoughts to Sky Sports.
Before the game, Old Trafford manager Alex Ferguson had suggested the likes of Nottingham Forest might not try as hard against Keegan's men as they did against his side.
Newcastle were due at the City Ground three days later to play a team who, curiously, United had just beaten 5-0. Newcastle were also providing the opposition for Stuart Pearce's Forest testimonial later the same year.
Yet Keegan took the bait and if you ask football followers for their outstanding memory from that campaign, most will tell you of his remarkable reaction in the aftermath of that win at Elland Road.
Referring to Ferguson's comments, Keegan said: "When you do that with footballers like he said about Leeds - and when you do things like that about a man like Stuart Pearce...
"I've kept really quiet but I'll tell you something, he went down in my estimations when he said that. We have not resorted to that.
"You can tell him now, we're still fighting for this title and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something - and I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them. Love it.
"It really has got to me. I've voiced it live, not in front of the press or anywhere. I'm not even going to the press conference but the battle is still on and Man United have not won this yet."
Alas, that would soon change as, in the culmination of an apparently masterful bout of mind games, Newcastle were held to a 1-1 draw by Forest.
They recorded the same score against Tottenham and with United duly going to Middlesbrough and winning 3-0, they took the title by four points after Newcastle had led by 12 at one stage.
As you can see in the video at the top of the page, Keegan's rant is by no means the only one we have seen from English-based managers over the years.
This Saturday marks a year since former Leicester manager Nigel Pearson called reporter Ian Baker an ostrich in response to a question asking him to specify what criticism his team had taken.
Roy Keane was unamused when a journalist's phone began ringing during a news conference while he was in charge of Ipswich in 2009.
Ron Atkinson also wasn't happy when he was asked how Coventry could get out of relegation trouble in the same season as the Keegan flashpoint.
Who could forget Rafa Benitez's 'facts' rant - he only actually used the word 'fact' six times over several minutes - in response to Ferguson's claims Liverpool could choke in the 2008/09 season?
And then there was Jose Mourinho's 'minute 30, 33, 43, 69' interview, when he refused to discuss moments he felt aggrieved by following Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Burnley last season.
Mourinho's relationship with Arsene Wenger is a strained one and the Frenchman objected to Sky Sports News HQ reporter Andy Burton suggesting he was under more pressure than his rival.
Paolo Di Canio's outburst at his own fans when he was Swindon's manager was as extraordinary as anything.
He said he would give them their season ticket money back and said they should go to watch neighbours Oxford if they were unhappy following his row with goalkeeper Wes Foderingham.
Louis van Gaal, meanwhile, produced a dossier to dispel Sam Allardyce's assertion his Manchester United team were a long-ball side following a 1-1 draw with West Ham in February last year.
