Jack Shiel RIP
The death of Newcastle's oldest surviving first
team player has been reported by his family, aged 96.
Amble-born Jack Shiel passed away in hospital on November 30th and a
funeral service will be staged at Cowpen Crematorium on Saturday at 11.30am.
Shiel joined United from Seahouses in December 1936 for the princely sum of £10.
A reserve team regular, the centre forward debuted in a 0-3 loss at Barnsley
in September 1937, a game which proved to be the sole senior appearance of his
United career.
Released by United the following year, Jack joined North Shields before
returning to the Football League in 1938 with Huddersfield Town.
However he had only one senior game for the Terriers - against Middlesbough in
March 1939 - before being released with the onset of World War II
imminent.
Jack served on a Royal Navy minesweeper during the conflict, later skippering
a Seahouses fishing boat and running tourist boat trips to the Farne Islands
as part of the family business.
U21s:
Foxes visit scheduled
Having been reinstated into the U21 Premier League Cup
after Birmingham City fielded an ineligible player in their 2-1 win over
Newcastle, United's second string have a home tie against
Leicester City in the Round of 16.
That fixture is confirmed as a 7pm KO at Whitley Park on Monday December 30th.
A result must be achieved on the night, via extra time and penalties if
required.

Liberties
Swansea
City 3 Newcastle 0
Newcastle's four-game winning run came to an abrupt end at Swansea's Liberty Stadium on
Wednesday on a night to forget for Alan Pardew's below-par but luckless side.
Although the home side deservedly claimed the points, a three-goal deficit was
slightly harsh on United, several non-decisions
from referee, Howard Webb and sundry other misfortunes proving to be the
Magpies' undoing.
It was also a night to forget for Tim Krul who could look back at all three
City goals with regret. However, a trio of spot kick claims were waved away by
Webb, who also failed to dismiss goalscorer Jonjo Shelvey despite his intentional
effort to head-butt Mathieu Debuchy.
A fairly sterile first period had seen City retain possession for elongated
periods of play but Loic Remy go closest to an opener, when his well directed header was tipped wide by
Michel Vorm.
Fellow Dutch custodian Krul had barely seen service until the first minute of
added time when he made a mess of punching a cross and the ball fell straight to
substitute Nathan Dyer to volley home from eight yards.
Clad in their blue change kit, Newcastle began the second period with renewed intent,
but the turning point
of the game came when Remy had time and space in the box to fire goalward. Only for a clear handball
denied the French hitman his ninth goal of the season but Webb was indifferent
to loud pleas from Toon fans and players.
Debuchy's cross had also hit the arm of Ashley Williams but both offences were
missed, unlike the full back's frustrated late challenge seconds later that was
duly spotted
and punished with a booking.
And it was pretty much game over midway through the second period when Webb waved
away more penalty appeals from Yoan Gouffran after he was pushed in the back by
Williams and Swansea broke upfield.
Shelvey was put clean through and Debuchy almost got a last ditch tackle on the
City player, only for the ball to be blocked by Krul and cruelly bounce back off
the defender and into the goal.
Having escaped censure for his coming together with Debuchy, Shelvey had an effort saved by Krul
before curled an eye-catching first time shot over the 'keeper to round off a
miserable night for Newcastle.
United's worst defeat in Wales since a 0-4 pummelling at the Vetch Field in
1980 saw them drop one place down to seventh, Spurs climbing after their win at Fulham.
There was further bad news pre-match with Hatem Ben Arfa and Papiss Cisse missing
from the squad due to illness and a heel injury, respectively. Cisse had been
named among the substitutes initially before being stood down in favour of Paul
Dummett.
Following a fairly torrid evening, left back Davide Santon was withdrawn early
in the second half and replaced by fit-again Massadio Haidara.
And having substituted Ameobi in order to try and keep something in the tank
for Saturday's trip to Old Trafford, Pardew also gave Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa some
pitch time late on in place of Mike Williamson.
Full match report to follow.
Team: Krul, Debuchy, Williamson (Yanga-Mbiwa
77),
Coloccini, Santon (Haidara
56), Sissoko,
Tiote, Cabaye, Gouffran, Remy, Shola Ameobi (Obertan
67).
Subs n/u: Anita, Dummett, Elliot, Sammy Ameobi.
Booked: Debuchy, Haidara.

Pozuelo (Routledge 84), Shelvey, Hernandez (Lamah 71), Vazquez (Dyer

Subs n/u: Amat, Taylor, Britton, Tremmel.
Goals: Dyer 45+1, og(Debuchy) 66, Shelvey 81.
Crowd: 20,457 including around 1,000 Toon fans and former favourite
David Ginola on BT Sport pundit duty.
Referee:
Howard
Webb - first Toon appointment this season and hopefully his last.
England's most high profile official continued
his World Cup Final embarrassment of ducking major decisions; three penalty claims and a red card for Shelvey
avoided here.
If Webb was confectionery, it would be fudge.
On the flip side, Cabaye was fortunate to escape censure for a challenge from
behind, while Sissoko also avoided a possible yellow for dissent. Both players
remain a single booking away from a one-match suspension.
Alan Pardew:
"Two big decisions went against us and that was crucial in the
result. The first one was a penalty, no doubt in my mind about that. I felt
that at the time and my players' reaction told me everything I needed to know,
and that should have told Howard (Webb) as well.
"It hit his arm and it's going in the
back of the net. That's a penalty isn't it?
"Again the second was for a foul on
Gouffran. I thought Williams had no chance of winning that header, he has gone
into the back of Gouffran and he just played on.
"I was disappointed in those
decisions. I've told him that as well. He has given me his explanation and I
accept that, and I don't agree with it.
"Then there is the incident with
Jonjo, looking at video highlights I think that was disappointing for Jonjo as
I think he is a terrific lad and that's unlike him, but again maybe you could
argue he should not be on the pitch."

U18s:
Rovers
test
Currently enjoying their
best form of the season to date, Newcastle's U18 side are in action on Friday
when they travel to face Blackburn Rovers at their Brockhall base
(12.30pm).
Unbeaten in their last four outings, United go in search of a third successive
away win in the North West after claiming maximum points against Bolton and
Everton.
Their opponents Blackburn have the unwanted record of the poorest defence of
any U18 Premier League side, having conceded no less than 42 in their 14
games.
Despite winning just once in eleven matches however, Rovers have been rather
more potent at the other end of the pitch than Newcastle, scoring 30 times
compared to our 17 strikes.

Redevelopment:
Investment confirmed
United have published
plans for a proposed redevelopment of their Darsley Park training ground that
will drastically expand and improve facilities.
Subject to planning consent, work is scheduled to begin in 2015 and take up to
a year to complete, involving the demolition of the present structures on
site.
No precise figure for the cost of the redevelopment has been given other than
a vague "multi-million pound" one, but this represents a significant
investment in the club - something that's slightly surprising given
uncertainty over our long-term goals and ownership.

Man of the match: Sammy Ameobi - Showed a lot of intelligence in his
forward play and led the line well.

Born Or Died:
1915 Benny Craig born,
Leadgate, Durham. (1938-50)
As a player and coach, Benny served United for over 40 years after arriving
in a £4,000 move from Huddersfield Town.
Finding employment as a brickworker, he'd moved to the Terriers on amateur
forms in 1934 - also having trials at both Arsenal and the mackems.
Debuting in a 0-3 loss at Blackburn Rovers in November 1938, the full back
played in the abortive 1939/40 season before league football was suspended and
then joined the Royal Artillery - seeing service in Europe and winning the
Military Medal for his part in the Anzio landings.
Returning to the club after WW2, Craig was part of the side who clinched
promotion to Division One in 1948 and played on in the top flight until the
1949/50 season.
Benny then became assistant trainer and
also worked with the club's younger players - coaching the side who captured
the FA Youth Cup in 1962 and helping to develop players such as Bob Moncur and
David Craig.
His death was recorded in January 1982.
1951
David Mills born, Whitby.
(1982 & 1983-84)
Another player who served the Magpies in both onfield and
off-field roles, Mills hit the headlines in 1979 when he became the first
£500K footballer - the record transfer fee seeing him leave Boro for West Brom.
His career stalled at the Hawthorns however and a loan move brought him to SJP
for the second half of the 1980/81 season.
Despite impressing, no transfer deal was concluded and Mills ended up swapping
the Baggies for Sheffield Wednesday.
He was to get his transfer to Tyneside though in 1983, when a part-exchange
deal with Imre Varadi was concluded.
And his contribution to our promotion campaign is often overlooked, with vital
strikes against Fulham and Swansea, plus a goal on the day that a top-flight
return was confirmed, with a 2-2 draw at Huddersfield.
Departing from Newcastle, Mills returned to Middlesbrough and also appeared for
both Darlington and Whitby Town.
However the events of January 1988 proved to be life-changing for him, as he
survived a fatal car crash in the Tyne Tunnel but had to undergo extensive
facial surgery.
After working in the local sports media, Mills returned to SJP as a scout in
1995 and served seven managers in over a decade.
He was then recruited by Boro in a similar role in 2008.
1956
Peter Kelly born, East Kilbride, Scotland. (1973-81)
Right back who came through the junior ranks at SJP and seemed
destined for great things, debuting against
Chester City in a home League Cup tie in December 1974.
However, Kelly's time on Tyneside was blighted by a cruciate injury sustained in a
game at Luton Town in December 1978.
That injury ultimately forced him out of professional football, although he did
continue to play for Gateshead.
Peter also ran a newsagents in West Denton for a time, along with fellow
former Magpie and Tynesiders team mate, Terry Hibbitt.
1967
Ian Bogie born, Walker. (1986-89)
Initially
billed as the next 'Gazza', midfielder Bogie came to
United's attention playing for Wallsend Boys Club and showed promise in our
1985 FA Youth Cup winning side.
However his career at United was curtailed by manager Jim Smith in the 1988/89
season, with Bogie signing for Preston North End in order to secure regular
first team football - United taking Gary Brazil in exchange.
Later moves took him to Millwall, Leyton
Orient, Port Vale and Kidderminster Harriers, before a
back injury forced him to quit.
Bogie then finished his playing career at Bedlington Terriers before managing Walker Central
and coaching at Tyne Met College.
Moving on to become
assistant boss at Gateshead in 2006, he took charge of the Tynesiders a year later.
1970 Death of Ted
Robledo, 52, in mysterious circumstances while
serving on an oil tanker in the Persian Gulf. (1949-53)

Striker Paul Goddard netted the first goal of his
spell at Newcastle with a fine strike in front of a
substantial travelling support gathered on the Holmesdale Terrace at Selhurst Park.
Young midfielder Tony Nesbit came off the bench for his
first team debut, one of only three senior appearances he
made for United.

Wright(36)

Newcastle started well but couldn't force the ball
past the imposing figure of David Seaman in the Gunners
goal.
However, after Ian Wright ended his long goal famine (revealing
a T-shirt with the words "At Last" on it),
United became disheartened.
With Alan Shearer still missing and Tino Asprilla barely
contributing, the striking burden fell on veteran John
Barnes and youngster Jon Dahl Tomasson - with neither
impressing home fans.

An entertaining afternoon at the Riverside saw
Newcastle deservedly preserve their unbeaten record
against the smoggies in the Premiership.
Paul Gascoigne set up Boro's opener (before being pursued
across the pitch by a pair of scantily-clad lassies
dressed as Santa) before
Laurent Charvet's powerfully-struck volley.

Gazza
always had his
knockers at the Riverside... |
With Shay Given injured, Steve Harper made the
most of his start with a fine display, but unluckily conceded a second goal when
Colin Cooper's deflected off Aaron Hughes.
Nicos Dabizas levelled
within two minutes of arriving from the subs bench,
heading in a cross from Charvet.

Murphy(6)

For the
fourth season in a row, the visitors line-up failed to
include Michael Owen - an attendance record that he'd
maintain in later years, when on our payroll....
The atmosphere wasn't helped by a Saturday lunchtime
kickoff for TV transmission, and when Woodgate and Bramble
did their best Laurel and Hardy impression to all Murphy a
free shot at Given, things looked bleak.
However, a semblance of backbone was rediscovered after
the break and when Chris Kirkland made contact with
Laurent Robert in the area, Shearer slammed home the
penalty.
With the victory apparently within our grasp though - and
two efforts cleared off the visitor's line - we failed to
take advantage of Liverpool's dip in form, with Shola
Ameobi guilty of two late failures in front of goal.

Christmas came early for Glenn Roeder
when his Turkish midfielder Emre hit a stunning late winner to grab three priceless points in a topsy-turvy encounter at
SJP.Antoine Sibierski
had headed United in front, but back came The Royals with two
decent efforts from
James Harper before half-time.
But just as it looked like yet another
home lead was going to be thrown away, Martins went down
in the area and Rob Styles awarded a
slightly soft spot kick.
After prolonged negotiations with the allotted penalty
taker Nobby Solano, Martins stepped up to beat Hahnemann
for his first league goal on home soil.
Double goalscorer Harper then lost possession on the
halfway line to Emre, who advanced on goal and with
defenders back-pedalling, drove home a fine curling,
swerving effort
to win it.

Owen(8,24)

In a season of
self-inflected wounds and misadventures, this game saw
United at their profligate worst.
Future Potter Michael Owen netted twice as Joe Kinnear's side tied the
visitors in knots with fluent attacking moves and the three
points seemed to be in the bag by half time.
Danny Guthrie remained in the dressing room with a hip
problem however and with no midfielders on the bench,
United altered their formation and sat on their lead.
City eventually accepted the invitation to have a go at
us and after a route one goal, went in search of an
equaliser.
Their chance appeared to have gone when former Magpie
defender Abdoulaye Faye missed a good chance in the last
minute.
However, he made no mistake from close range when another
chance presented itself, with JFK sent to the stands for
protesting about the free-kick which led to Faye's goal.

2010
Chris Hughton followed Sam Allardyce, Kevin
Keegan and Alan Shearer out of the door as another manager
departed the Mike Ashley-led Magpies.
Despite gaining promotion back to the Premier League and
some notable victories on our return, two points from five
games had persuaded Ashley and Del Boy to hit the eject
button.
Meanwhile, in Holland, Ajax had parted company with Martin
Jol and people were already putting 2+2 together....

Newcastle's final Europa League group game ended in a deserved defeat in France, as
Bordeaux finished top of Group D courtesy of a 2-0 victory over a youthful and
inexperienced Magpies
side.
Lanky Mali striker, Cheick Diabate, scored a goal in each half for the French
side and had it not been for some outstanding saves from Rob Elliot, the
punishment could have been more severe for United.
