Steve Harper admits life is 'never dull' at Newcastle United, but understands why they have moved to bring Joe Kinnear back.

Difficult

Asked what Kinnear is like to work with, Harper added: "He was very likeable. He was larger than life, bubbly on the training ground. "He came in at a difficult time at Newcastle, he came almost as a fire-fighter and was only there a few months. But that inside knowledge he has already of the club will stand him in good stead. "Sadly back then he was taken ill before a game away at West Brom but, as always as a Newcastle fan, there's never a dull moment."
