The third anniversary of the club's
takeover on Monday saw Newcastle confirm the appointment of Roger Thornton
as a Director.
Born in South Shields, Roger is
Head of Property at Motcomb Estates Limited, an asset management
company that focuses on a portfolio of global office, retail, hotel
and leisure assets for the family of Newcastle United co-owner,
Jamie Reuben.
Roger retains a keen interest in
his native North East and has played a key role in recent
developments in Newcastle city centre, including the transformative
Pilgrims Quarter project, as well as supporting property matters for
Newcastle Racecourse.
He also has strong family links
to the Magpies. His grandfather, Ben Sullivan, was an administrator
who moved from Lincoln City to re-launch the Newcastle United
Development Association in the mid-1960s.
Ben played a key role in
supporting ground improvements at St. James' Park over many years,
including securing funding to build the existing East Stand
structure which opened in 1973.

Update:
Eales bombshell
From Newcastle United, Friday Sep 27th:
Newcastle United CEO Darren Eales is to step down from his position
after being diagnosed with a chronic form of blood cancer.
Darren will continue to lead Newcastle
United's executive team until a successor is appointed.
Darren arrived at St. James' Park in
August 2022 - ten months after the club's change in ownership - and has
played a critical role in a significant period of progression on and off the
pitch.
During his tenure, as well as reaching a
first domestic cup final in 24 years in February 2023, the Magpies returned
to the UEFA Champions League last season after a fourth-place finish in the
Premier League.
Darren Eales said: "Being CEO of
Newcastle United is an extraordinary privilege and I am incredibly proud to
be part of the club's exciting journey.
"However, it has become apparent to
me that now is the right time to make this decision so that I can prioritise
my health and my family.
"In the short term, it will be
business as usual in terms of running the club's day-to-day operations, and
I will give my full support to a transitionary period that will enable the
board to carefully assess and appoint my successor.
"I want to extend my sincere thanks
to the club's supporters, ownership, players and staff. I'm proud of what we
have collectively achieved and I'm excited to see what's ahead for everyone
as the club builds towards a future of sustained success."
Newcastle United Chairman, Yasir Al-Rumayyan,
said: "All of us who are connected with Newcastle United are very
saddened by this news. Our thoughts are with Darren and his family and we
send him every good wish for a full recovery.
"On a personal level, Darren has
been a great partner to me and to our fans, players, ownership and staff.
"On behalf of the club and its
owners, I want to thank Darren for his service and dedication to Newcastle
United. He has made a significant contribution to the club's progress during
his time as CEO, helping to build a strong foundation for Newcastle United's
success. We fully understand the difficult decision he has made.
"We will work closely with Darren
to hand over the CEO role at the appropriate moment following a carefully
considered search process, and he will continue to have the full support of
the board and the Newcastle United family now and in the future."

On This Day in History |
15th October |
Born Or Died:
1877 Thomas Wills born, Newton-on-Ayr, Scotland.
(1903-06)
Left back secured from Ayr FC during
November 1903 who made his senior debut in a 3-2 home win
over Bury soon afterwards.
In competition with Jack Carr for a first team place, the
pair were displaced by the arrival of Andy McCombie and Tom
played just twice in the 1904/05 season.
Wills was one of three players moving from Newcastle to
Carlisle United in March 1906, but he signed for Crystal
Palace ahead of the following season.
Lasting less than a year in London, he returned to Carlisle
United and then back to Scotland with Ayr.
Tom migrated to South Africa in 1910, becoming player
coach of the Rangers club in Johannesburg.
Also employed in the mining industry while in South Africa,
his accidental death was recorded in February 1912.
1899 Henry Bedford born, Chesterfield.
(1930-32)
One of a select band of players who scored on their Newcastle
debuts (in a 5-2 home win over Leicester City in December 1930).
A former miner who scored goals at all of his previous clubs - Nottingham
Forest, Blackpool and Derby - England international Harry joined United in a £4,000
transfer.
However he remained at SJP for just over a year before switching to the mackems.
And
after barely six months at Roker, he moved on to Bradford Park Avenue.
He later appeared for both Chesterfield and Heanor Town before returning to
Gallowgate as club trainer in 1937.
1938 saw him take up a similar job at Derby and he was to remain in the East
Midlands for the rest of his life, having brief spells in charge of both Belper
Town and Heanor in the mid 1950s.
Working for Rolls Royce in their own fire service for many years, Harry also
acted as masseur to the Derbyshire cricket team for some time. He passed away
in 1976.
1909 Ehud Rogers born, Chirk, Wales.
(1936-39)
More commonly known by the nickname 'Tim', Rogers
played outside right for various local clubs in his native Wales before Wrexham
signed him on in 1934.
Within a year he'd signed for Arsenal where he scored five times in 16 first
team games, but was never a guaranteed starter.
1936 saw him join Newcastle, debuting in a season-opening 1-0 home loss to
Barnsley.
Sold to Swansea Town for £700 in May 1939, Tim's footballing career was
disrupted by the outbreak of war and consequent halting of Football League
fixtures.
Guesting for Wrexham, Everton and Lovells Athletic he also served in the Middle
East with the RAF. Post-war saw him rejoin Wrexham and he retired after a spell
at another of his former clubs, Oswestry Town.
Tim died in 1996, in his home town of Chirk, where he'd run a newsagents and
coached the local football club for a time.
1934 Joseph Cooper born, Gateshead.
(1952-59)
Half back signed from local side Winlaton Mill who made his
senior debut in a 2-2 draw at Preston North End in September 1953 - deputising
for Bob Stokoe after he fell down some stairs on the eve of the game!
That was the first of two outings that season and after matching that total in
the 1954/55 season, Joe's next first team callup wasn't until early 1957.
A sixth and final appearance came in the Tyne-wear derby of February 1958, when
Joe handled in the box and gave away a penalty in a game that ended in a 2-2
draw.
1971 Andrew Cole born, Nottingham.
(1993-95)
Striker who began his career as an Arsenal apprentice but
played just twice for the Gunners first team before moving on - also appearing
for Fulham on loan in 1991.
Sold to Bristol City for £500K, by 1993 Cole's goalscoring and pace had
attracted scouts to Ashton Gate and Kevin Keegan persuaded Newcastle to cough
up £1.75m for him.
Making his debut as a substitute in a 2-1 defeat at Swindon in March 1993, Cole
got off the mark for his new club the following week, at home to Notts County.
Ending the promotion season with twelve goals from as many games, the
"gets the ball, scores a goal" song echoed round SJP as he completed
a hat trick in a 7-1 victory over Leicester City and we bade farewell to the
old Division One.
A first Premiership goal came in a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford and he went on to
collect a club record 41 goals in all competitions, many of them created by
Peter Beardsley.
Equalling the 39 goal haul of Hughie Gallacher and George Robledo when netting
in a fine 2-0 win at Anfield, Cole then failed to find the target in front of
an expectant SJP in a 3-2 victory over Oldham Athletic.
However, he duly set the record during a 5-1 home win over Aston Villa the
following Wednesday, driving the ball past Nigel Spink.
The record was then extended on the final day of the season, when Cole notched
a 41st goal against his former employers, Arsenal.
Much was expected of Cole and United the following season and he didn't
disappoint, racking up a dozen goals by early October.
However, he was started to be troubled by an injury later diagnosed as shin
splints and was forced to rest, missing out on a pivotal week in which his side
lost at Old Trafford and then in Bilbao - the latter ending a UEFA Cup run.
A playing return in late November saw Cole score in a 1-1 home draw with
Ipswich - his 15th of the season and although nobody knew it at the time, his
last as a Magpie.
His final outing came in the FA Cup, as Blackburn drew 1-1 at SJP - a ninth
game without a goal for Cole.
By the next week he'd joined Manchester United for £6m (and winger Keith
Gillespie), Kevin Keegan had famously met furious fans on the steps of SJP to
justify his decision and the Red Devils were in Toon.
Neither Cole nor Gillespie played for their new clubs that day by agreement,
although the atmosphere was lively enough without the added charge of their
presence.
The trophies he craved came under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson and Cole
remained a red until a move to Blackburn Rovers in December 2001.
He later appeared for Fulham, Manchester City, Portsmouth and Birmingham City,
before signing for the mackems - although he never scored a first team goal for
Roy Keane's mob.
Loaned out to Burnley, Cole's final move took him back to his native
Nottingham, but a brief flirtation with Forest failed to inspire him and he
left by mutual consent in late 2008.
Aside from a brief spell as Huddersfield Town striking coach (helping out former
Magpie colleague Lee Clark), he worked as a media pundit and a club
ambassador for Manchester United.
Cole represented England U21s while at SJP and won the first of 15 full caps
two months after moving to Old Trafford. His only senior international strike
came away to Albania in March 2001.
Abused
by Newcastle supporters following his move - and not helping his cause when caught on camera singing the "cheer up Kevin Keegan" song -
Cole won over some of his former fans when he wore black & white again
in January 1999, for Peter Beardsley's testimonial.
And by the time he played in Steve Harper's testimonial in 2013, those present at SJP welcomed him without
reservation.
Cole suffered a major health scare three years later when it was revealed
that he was suffering from kidney failure and his weight ballooned due to his
medication.
He underwent a successful transplant operation in 2017,
following the donation of a healthy kidney by a family member.
Kevin Keegan subsequently claimed that his original plan was to pair Cole
with Les Ferdinand - but QPR wouldn't sell at that time. That would have been
worth seeing.
His post-Newcastle playing career may have brought him into conflict with us
(and he never struggled to find the net against us), but his time in a Toon
shirt was fairly remarkable - truly a modern day legend.
1988 Callum Little
born, Hexham.
(2004-07)
Reserve and Academy midfielder who was
released by United in 2007 and then briefly appeared as a trialist for the
mackems.
Signing a three year deal with the Dutch Division
Two side FC Emmen that September, a succession of injuries saw Callum released
in 2009 and he returned to the UK.
A career in non-league football followed, at Blyth Spartans, Ashington, Team
Northumbria and Dunston UTS.

Beardsley(89)

Our run of four successive away wins in the league
looked like ending in this Saturday afternoon snooze in
the Selhurst Park sunshine.
That was until Peter Beardsley gained possession some 30
yards out, jinked forward in familiar style and then
rifled home a fine effort in front of the building site
where the Holmesdale Stand was under construction.

A slightly crazy evening in Budapest saw United
concede an early goal, after John Beresford and Pavel
Srnicek left it to each other to clear the danger - and
were punished.
United then went further behind before Les Ferdinand
netted with a header and Alan Shearer then volleyed in to
restore parity.
Ferdinand then had a goal disallowed and Rob Lee hit a
post, before an uncharacteristic error from Peter
Beardsley allowed the home side to take the lead once
again.
Shearer then thought he'd earned his side a draw, only for
Swedish referee Leif Sundell to chalk off his added time
effort.
Normal service was resumed however when the teams met
at SJP, as United recorded a resounding 4-0 victory.

With the tie already beyond doubt after the first leg on

87 travelling fans were detained before the game, but
while some were undoubtedly involved in fighting, many
others were guilty of being English in the wrong place at
the wrong time, when rounded up by police.

Latics for the very first time in the League - their only

1954.
The hosts ended this Saturday lunchtime Sky
pay-per-view live game a man short after Lee
McCulloch was red-carded for a nasty foul on Emre

Aside from an Alan Shearer header that crossed the line
but wasn't given though, Graeme Souness's side offered

For a third successive home league

display.
Sam
Allardyce and the deeply unpleasant El Hadji Diouf
profited from our slackness in front of a live TV
audience, while former Magpie Gary Speed made a winning
return.
The

Appearing
at Newcastle Crown Court, Nile Ranger was found
guilty of two counts of assaulting a police officer but cleared of actual bodily harm on two passers-by.
Ranger had denied the ABH charges but admitted the

He was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered
to pay each police officer £750 in damages.
