This is it:

On 2 October 2008, Kinnear launched a verbal tirade at the Daily Mirror journalist Simon Bird, calling him a "cunt".[36][37] He swore over 50 times in the first five minutes of the interview.[38] The club's press officer tried to order the assembled journalists not to publish any extracts from the tirade, but Kinnear himself gave the journalists permission to write up whatever they wanted from his remarks. Later in the interview, he announced that he would no longer deal with the national media while he was Newcastle manager, and that he would only speak to local newspapers from then on, with first team coach Chris Hughton handling all other interviews.[36]

Following the rant, Kinnear was nicknamed 'JFK’ as in Joe 'Fucking' Kinnear.
