After a scoreless draw on Tyneside, the sides met again at the Dell in a 2.15pm kick-off the following Wednesday.  

Despite going ahead in the opening seconds, top-flight United were well beaten in the end by Second Division Saints, whose success earned them a trip to Chelsea.

The visitors arrived bottom of the league and would remain there at the end of the season.

There was a debut for centre half James Robinson, signed from Scarborough just before the game. However, he never played competitively for the club again.

The visitors meanwhile attempted to sign Newcastle forward Joe Devine following the game, but no deal was struck and he moved to wearside days later.

The Magpies gave a debut to new signing Willie McCall, at outside left.

Without the injured Jackie Milburn, the hosts deployed Bob Stokoe in a forward role.

The Burnley Express reporter was in unforgiving mood, describing the visitors as providing "an inept display of negative football."

Former York City forward Dave Dunmore proved to be the difference between the two sides, the winning goal coming straight from the second half kickoff, without a Newcastle player touching the ball.

George Eastham sent over a corner for Len White to head home, but United were unable to find an equaliser despite pressing strongly.

United were aggrieved that Villa's opener stood, home striker Andy Gray barging into goalkeeper Mick Mahoney and causing him to spill a cross from Frank Carrodus into his own net.

Undaunted, the Magpies levelled when Alan Gowling registered his eleventh league goal of the season, heading Tommy Cassidy's cross beyond goalkeeper John Burridge.

Kevin Carr then saved a David Moss penalty midway through the second half to give his side their first win in eight attempts and frustrate the table-topping Hatters.

It proved to be unlucky 13 for Newcastle, as their quest to equal a club-record 14 game winning home run in all competitions was thwarted by a combination of former and future Magpies employees.

Darren Peacock was dismissed following a tackle on Dennis Wise - who recovered to beat Pavel Srnicek from the penalty spot. 

With the visitors seemingly heading out of the competition, veteran Ruud Gullit marked his debut in the FA Cup by turning home a late leveller to force extra time.

Magpies debutant Darren Huckerby came on to replace Les Ferdinand and almost notched a fine goal following a mazy run and shot. 

The tie then proceeded to a shootout, with Peter Beardsley hitting the bar and Steve Watson denied by Kevin Hitchcock.

John Beresford and Philippe Albert netted, but a flawless set of penalties from David Lee, Dennis Wise, old boy Gavin Peacock and Eddie Newton saw Chelsea advance.

When Nathan Blake equalised for the visitors, celebrations from the away section were drowned out by the ovation that greeted Alan Shearer's comeback as a substitute, Trotter Peter Beardsley leading the applause.

Shearer then headed the ball down for Temuri Ketsbaia to net a late winner, the Georgian celebrating as if possessed by demons, tossing his shirt into the Gallowgate end and kicking seven bells out of an advertising hoarding.

Bemused team mates eventually calmed him down long enough to finish an amazing game, Bolton fielding a possibly sleep-deprived Jamie Pollock in their midfield.

Ex-smoggy Pollock had become a father days earlier when his wife gave birth to a son, Ben. By 2014 Ben was with Newcastle's Academy.

A major disappointment for Ruud Gullit, after his side deservedly scored twice and missed several chances to increase their advantage.

Mark Bright then halved the deficit with his first touch after arriving from the bench, before Nicos Dabizas picked up a second booking and was dismissed by Peter Jones.

United looked to have held on for the win only for on-loan Addick Martin Pringle to mark his home debut with an equaliser.

After a forgettable draw on Tyneside, an equally poor replay at Villa Park was settled when Paul Merson sent over a hopeful cross that looked easy for Warren Barton to clear.

Unfortunately the ball bounced off Barton's shoulder, deflecting off the lurking Darius Vassell and past Steve Harper. Old boy David Ginola was an unused substitute for Villa.

2003 It's not often that we get the chance to write the words "twelve goal thriller", but that was our headline after Newcastle's U19 side won 7-5 away at Sheffield Wednesday.

The Magpies - 1-2 down at half time - scored through Andy Ferrell, Lewis Guy, Kris Gate, Calvin Zola (2), Guy Bates & Martin Brittain.

2005 Newspapers reported that Pompey striker Yakubu would replace Alan Shearer at Newcastle, with our current number nine still insistent that he would retire in May 2005.

2005 The reserves drew 3-3 with their West Brom counterparts at the Aggborough home of Kidderminster Harriers.

James Milner, Martin Brittain and Guy Bates were all on target for Tommy Craig's side.

With an hour played and away fans mocking ex-Toon boss Sam Allardyce and his side, referee Rob Styles harshly decided that David Edgar had fouled Benni McCarthy.

The Rovers striker then beat Ewood old boy Shay Given from the spot, before Jason Roberts finished off a route one move.

With Newcastle then visibly crumbling and fans in open revolt against JFK, he opted to bring on Joey Barton in place of the awful Charles N'Zogbia - despite having warmed up Jonas Gutierrez all afternoon. 

The closing stages then saw Nicky Butt walk after a rash challenge brought a second yellow - and he unwisely hammered the ball at the referee as he stormed off the field.

After conceding a third goal, Given had to intervene and prevent Joey Barton from re-enacting the infamous Lee Bowyer/Kieron Dyer scuffle with team mate Jose Enrique.

As we commented about Shay: "If he'd finally reached the point of no return with this bloody cowboy outfit, then we couldn't blame him." His next game was for Manchester City.

2012 Newcastle entered the transfer market by concluding the transfer of striker Papiss Demba Cissé from Bundesliga side Freiburg.

A fee of around £7.5m plus add-ons was claimed (but officially "undisclosed") and the Senegal-born 26 year-old took the number 9 squad number that he wore in Germany.

2012 The reserves faced Leeds United behind closed doors at Elland Road after wintry conditions rendered pitches at their Thorp Arch training ground too dangerous to use.

And like our first team's pre-season visit, the orange-clad Magpies left empty-handed, losing 0-2. SJP old boy Matty Pattison was on target for the hosts during a trial period.

It was expected that on-trial Bognor Regis striker Jason Prior would feature, but in the event he didn't appear.

2022 FA Youth Cup Fourth Round success for Newcastle at Gallowgate, 3-2 winners over a spirited Colchester United side, who came back from 0-3 down to press for an equaliser in the closing stages of the tie.

2023 The U18s exited the FA Youth Cup at the Fourth Round stage, beaten 2-3 by Arsenal at a freezing Gallowgate.
