Rearranged due to FA Cup commitments, this game took place on a Wednesday afternoon.

Victory was more comfortable than the scoreline suggests, United winning 18 corners to City's one.

Several newspaper reports also noted the lack of "work" for home custodian Charlie Watts.

With the score at 2-1 to the hosts, Jock Rutherford saw his penalty saved by Villa keeper Bill George.

George then defied Colin Veitch from another spot kick with the Magpies 3-1 ahead.

Thankfully, neither miss proved costly as two more points were gathered in United's title-winning season.

Bobby Mitchell then looped home a shot at the Leazes End in the first period of extra time, before a close range finish from Vic Keeble in front of the Gallowgate confirmed United's progress to the semi-final stage.

1966 SJP played host to a friendly meeting between English and Scottish League representative sides. 

Almost 33,000 fans saw the Scots win 3-1, despite England leading at half time through Jimmy Greaves.

Dundee's Andy Penman equalised within seconds of the restart, before a brace from Celtic's Joe McBride made it a day to forget for England's Northumbrian-born duo of Jack and Bobby Charlton.

Also in the line-up that day was ex-Magpie George Eastham - by then with Arsenal.

1992 Barely 48 hours after he'd left Tyneside during a 3-1 victory over Swindon Town, Magpies boss Kevin Keegan played 90 minutes for the club's reserve side.

The occasion was a friendly at West Auckland Town to christen new floodlights at Darlington Road.

David Robinson, Keegan, Archie Gourlay and Andy Hunt (2) gave the Magpies a 5-0 victory.

Responding to one fan calling out "welcome back Kev", KK said "I haven't been away long, have I?"

Team: Srnicek, Keavney, Heron, Appleby (J.Watson), Cole, Keegan, Gallacher (Makel), Kristensen (Clark), Robinson (Hunt), Gourlay, Carr.

2001 Interviewed for The Mag, Newcastle's then Chief Executive, David Stonehouse, was asked about NUFC-related websites. His reply?

Up stepped the number 9, to drag a dreadful spot kick wide of Matteo Sereni's goal at the Gallowgate End with the very last kick of the game. We remained in fourth position.

Newcastle celebrated their 100th game in Europe by devouring the cream of Greek football, 7-1 on aggregate, to reach the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.

And there was certainly nothing ambrosial about the Olympiakos display as they were pounded from the first whistle to the last by an exuberant United, determined to finish the job started in Athens the previous week.

Kieron Dyer revelled in his forward role, supporting two-goal Alan Shearer and was behind much of the first half dominance.

2008 Newcastle completed the signing of free agent defender Lamine Diatta following extended talks with the 32 year-old after passing his medical.

Diatta told French media sources he had agreed to join United initially until the end of the season, with a possible contract extension available at that point.

However he would exit SJP after two substitute outings amounting to just nine minutes.

2009 Mark Doninger netted his sixth goal in four reserve games during a 2-1 win over Everton at Whitley Park.

He levelled the scores before Nile Ranger's late winner for Richard Money's side.

"It's Wor Cup!"
The headline we'd waited a lifetime to write finally became reality, as the Magpies ended their 70-year wait for domestic silverware. 

A jubilant Toon support inside Wembley and across the planet saw Eddie Howe's side take the game to the reigning Carabao Cup holders and soon-to-be PL Champions, from the off and gain reward in the closing seconds of the first half.  

Dan Burn rose highest to head in Kieran Trippier's corner and put his side ahead amid total mayhem at one end of the national stadium.

A first victory over the Reds in 18 attempts since 2015 then moved a step closer five minutes after the restart with what most now refer to as an own goal putting us two ahead - Jacob Murphy's knock-down taking a heavy deflection off a (future) Liverpool player.

It wouldn't have been Newcastle without some added peril and after failing to net a third goal despite several chances, Arne Slot's side pulled a goal back during added time following a prolonged and agonising VAR offside check.

But that was as a good as it got for a Liverpool side as jaded as their support and following some playing into corners that the watching Alan Shearer would have approved of, the final whistle sounded to send several generations of Mag watchers into uncharted territory. 

To the list of United's successful Wembley captains - Jimmy Nelson, Joe Harvey and Jimmy Scoular - was added the trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier and Jamaal Lascelles - Bruno sportingly calling forward two of his predecessors for the lift of the three-handled trophy.

And for Eddie Howe, it was a personal vindication after having vowed to learn lessons from 2023's meek loss to Manchester United at the same venue.

All in all, a day none of us will ever forget and a trophy success won the hard way; deservedly defeating the league's form side after Nottingham Forest, AFC Wimbledon, Chelsea, Brentford and Arsenal (twice). Magnificent.
