Update:
More Dan

Newcastle confirmed on Friday that Dan Burn had triggered an extension to his existing contract that was due to expire in June 2025.

The 32 year-old defender has made 113 appearances in all competitions since arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2022. 

U18s:
Teens toppled at Toffees

Everton U18s  3  Newcastle U18s  2

3-2 victors at Liverpool in their last league outing, Saturday saw Newcastle's U18s beaten by the odd goal in five at Everton's Finch Farm training ground.

The Toffees built up a three goal lead: Justin Clarke's brace on six and 55th minutes, book-ending Braiden Graham's 32nd minute penalty conversion.

Newcastle were forced into a defensive reshuffle at 0-1, when ever-present defender Craig Bloomer was unable to continue beyond the 18th minute of play.

Top scorer Sean Neave pulled one back for United on 64 minutes with his fourth league goal of the season, Joe Brayson narrowing the deficit further on 90 minutes.

There was to be no added time leveller, although Everton added two more yellow cards during the additional five minutes to end up with a final tally of six cautions.

Team: Anderson, Johnson (Alabi 58), Craggs, Watts, Bloomer (Morgan 18), O'Donovan (Gilligan 79), M.Miley (Tika-Lemba 58), Wooster, Neave, Ferreira, Brayson.
Sub n/u: Jones.

Booked: Alabi

Chelsea (h) 

Following a Premier League meeting at Stamford Bridge the previous Sunday, The Magpies and The Blues face each other again in a Carabao Cup Fourth Round tie at Gallowgate on Wednesday week, 30th October.

It's a 7.45pm start and live on Sky Sports+.

A result must be achieved on the night - if the score is tied after 90 minutes a penalty shootout will ensue.

At stake is a place in the Quarter Finals of the competition, scheduled for w/c Monday December 16th.

The visitors were allocated a maximum of 4,883 places - just over 1,600 more than set aside for PL fixtures. It's unclear where those additional seats are located.

On This Day in History
21st October


Born Or Died:

1959 Kevin Sheedy born, Builth Wells, Wales. (1992-93)

Almost a forgotten man as far as his SJP career is concerned, but compared to some of the misfits he replaced (eg Terry Wilson) this free transfer was a wise move by KK. 

Having made his debut as a teenager for Hereford, Sheedy joined Liverpool in 1978, but made only five first team appearances in four years before moving across Stanley Park to Everton (the Reds had earlier tried to get him to join both Blackpool and Derby rather than the Toffees).

A tribunal set the fee at £100K and Kevin went on to win two Championships and a European Cup Winners Cup medal, although injury saw him miss out on an FA Cup Final success.

While a youngster at Edgar Street, Sheedy opted to play internationally for the Republic of Ireland rather than his native Wales.

That decision (based on the probability of appearing in the finals of major tournaments) was vindicated when Kevin made his full Eire debut in 1983 - and went on to win 46 caps.

Included in a record of 46 caps and nine goals in a decade of service were appearances at the 1988 European Championships and 1990 World Cup - the latter seeing him score against England. 

Four months short of ten years at Goodison came to an end when Kevin Keegan came calling, with Sheedy passing up the chance of a testimonial in order to move to SJP. 

Sheedy's debut came in a 1-1 home draw against Barnsley in February 1992 and he played 13 times as United successfully avoided relegation. His first goal for the club came in a 1-1 at Grimsby Town.

Things were much improved in the following season, with Sheedy scoring in away wins at Bristol Rovers, Peterborough and Notts County as United rose to the top of the table, en route to being crowned champions.

His final game came in a 3-0 victory at Tranmere Rovers in February 1993, after which new signing Scott Sellars took over down the left.

Leaving Newcastle, a free transfer took Sheedy to Blackpool before hanging up his boots at the end of the 1993/94 season.

Subsequent coaching roles at Blackburn Rovers and Tranmere Rovers were then followed by a stint at Hartlepool United as number two to Mike Newell.

Returning to Everton as an Academy coach in 2006, Kevin was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2012 but quickly returned to his post as Toffees U18 boss following treatment.

Following a spell coaching youngsters at Saudi Arabian side Al-Shabiab, the Sheedy/Newell managerial partnership was revived in 2020 at League of Ireland Waterford United.

However, that proved to be short lived and they lasted just nine games before departing.

2000 Jack Young born, Hexham.
(2017-22)

At Newcastle's Academy from the age of seven, central midfielder Jack's first taste of U18 football came from the bench against Manchester City in early 2017.

A regular starter over the following two seasons, 2018/19 saw Young's progress rewarded with an U23 debut in a Premier League Cup game versus Notts County.

The following season then brought  with a run of starts for the second string after putting pen to paper on a first professional deal.

That elongated campaign ended with a trio of unused first team substitute selections for Jack and October 2020 saw him agree a season-long loan with League Two side Tranmere Rovers.

However, that was anything but successful and he returned after just five appearances.

Making a senior team bow for Newcastle in a pre-season game at Doncaster Rovers the following July, Jack featured in the next three kickabouts but returned to the U23s after a rumoured loan move failed to materialise.

Loaned to Wycombe Wanderers in January 2022, Young converted that into a permanent three year deal with the Chairboys.

He was loaned out to Ayr United in August 2023, Wealdstone the following February and then Dorking Wanderers in October 2024.

The Mighty Wyn also struck the crossbar and had a goal dubiously ruled out as he went in search of his hat trick. 

Various penalty appeals were also ignored by the German referee, including a foul on Tommy Gibb that Magpies boss Joe Harvey called "the worst penalty decision I have ever seen."

Sir Bobby Robson's ongoing paranoia over Gustavo Poyet saw him resort to a central defensive trio, with Aaron Hughes shackling the dangerous Uruguayan.

However, Poyet was in plenty of space when he headed home a Darren Anderton cross at the Leazes End.

Before that, Anderton was initially credited with the opener, although his aimless centre was going nowhere until it struck Gary Speed and was deflected past Shay Given.

The PL Dubious Goals Panel later agreed and credited Speed with the own goal.

The kick-off at Fulham's temporary Loftus Road home was delayed for over 30 minutes due to a bomb scare, caused by a suspiciously parked car in a nearby street.

On the pitch, the main threat came in the shape of old boys Magpies Lee Clark and Louis Saha, both soon on target.

With Craig Bellamy in the USA for surgery,  Shola Ameobi partnered Alan Shearer and that pair soon set up Laurent Robert to blast the ball past Edwin Van der Sar.

Shearer levelled from spot after ex-Magpie Alain Goma fouled Shola before our number nine grabbed an unlikely winner as United got their second away win in four days.

2004 Craig Bellamy issued an apology after TV cameras caught him badmouthing manager Graeme Souness following his substitution at The Valley:

"My outburst wasn't really aimed at the manager on Sunday but more at the situation.

"Call me old fashioned if you want, but my view when a player is substituted is that he has been ineffective, and I didn't feel I was ineffective against Charlton Athletic.

"I know I will never get a better club than Newcastle United. There is no other club I want to play for and it would be a dream for me stay here for the rest of my career.

"I haven't any problems with what the manager is trying to do."

Minutes earlier Shola had tumbled in the box in fairly unconvincing fashion and his spot kick pleas were rightly waved away. 

However, the Italian referee gave the decision second time round and Alan Shearer bagged a 21st European goal for the club.

2009
Following the award of £2m to Kevin Keegan by a Premier League Tribunal, the former United boss won another financial battle, with confirmation that legal costs (plus interest) must also be met by NUFC.

No amount was given, but if the two parties were unable to agree, the tribunal had the power to impose a figure. Some media sources claimed that the figure could even be as high as £1.5m.

This judgment included the following:

"The Club should pay Mr Keegan’s costs on an indemnity basis given the manner in which it conducted this litigation: its defence on the primary liability issue was, in our view, wholly without merit and it chose to make entirely unfounded allegations against Mr Keegan."

2010 Press reports confirmed that Magpies striker Andy Carroll's Range Rover had been torched as it stood outside Kevin Nolan's Darras Hall home the previous night.

Living with team mate Nolan as part of his bail conditions for an ongoing court case for assault, Carroll had recently bought the car after signing a new contract.

The police appealed for information about the fire and some graffiti that was written on the adjacent garage door.
