Johan joins:
official
From NUFC, Tuesday:
Newcastle United have
completed a deal to sign Ecuadorian winger Johan Martinez
from Independiente del Valle.
The 16-year-old will officially
join the Magpies after his 18th birthday in the summer of 2027
(on May 10th) and will remain with Independiente del Valle in the
meantime.
Johan was part of the
Independiente del Valle youth team who won the Ecuadorian U17 title
in December 2025.
Internationally, he is currently
starring for Ecuador in the South American U17 Championships and was
on target in Sunday’s victory over Chile as they reached the
semi-finals.

Ross Wilson, Newcastle United
Sporting Director, said:
"We’re delighted to beat off serious competition from leading clubs
across Europe to bring Johan to Newcastle United.
"Identifying and recruiting
promising young players is a key part of how we build for the
future, and our scouting and recruitment teams have worked
diligently to secure Johan’s signature.
"Independiente del Valle have a
strong reputation for developing young players and Johan has
undoubtedly benefited from that environment.
"He will continue his progress there while we maintain a close
connection with his development, and we look forward to welcoming
him to Newcastle next year.”
Ecuador's progress to the last four of the South American U17
Championships means that they have qualified for the U17 World Cup
Finals, staged this November in Qatar.

Sean's show
Newcastle U21s 1 Wolves U21s 1
Newcastle U21s concluded their PL2 campaign with a rearranged home
game on Monday evening, sharing the points with Wolves at Whitley
Park.
The match burst into life in the 12th minute when United's Matheos
Ferreira saw his first-time shot palmed onto the post by visiting
goalkeeper Alfie Brooks.
Wolves went ahead three minutes later, Conor McLeod flighting the
ball into the top corner of the net after two shots by team mates
were blocked but not fully cleared.
United levelled on 33 minutes after Rory Finneran's ball fell to
Sean Neave on the edge of the Wolves box and he claimed his 15th U21
goal of the season with a clinical finish.
The visitors came close to restoring their lead just past the hour
when Wes Okoduwa's shot struck the crossbar.
Neave then met a tempting Alex Murphy cross after 66 minutes but was
unable to keep his header under the bar.
The home forward was denied a winner from inside the area with
seconds left when Brooks blocked his shot, substitute Michael Mills
unable to connect with the rebound.
Team: Harris, Watts
(Johnson 60), A.Murphy, Pivas, Thompson, Finneran,
Ferreira (Mills 76), M.Miley (Fitzgerald 65), Neave, Munda, Seung-soo.
Subs n/u: Harrison, Yildiz.
WWFC: Brooks, Okoduwa, Lochhead, Olagunju, Lembikisa,

Booked: McLeod, Dayman.
Referee: Gareth Thomas.
Crowd: 284
Failing to
secure a top 16 finish meant that United missed out on the PL2 playoffs but are one of eight PL2 sides
involved in a new competition also featuring
the top eight Professional
Development League clubs.
Their first opponent in that knockout competition is tbc.
Premier League:
Bad all over
Crystal Palace 2 Newcastle 1
Newcastle returned to Premier League action on Sunday almost
three weeks after their last game, but rather than exorcising
the ghost of that derby loss, slumped to a loss that followed an
unpleasantly familiar pattern.
Will Osula gave United an interval lead that they just about
deserved after an anodyne first half during which neither side
showed any appreciable appetite for the fight.
Palace at least had the excuse of a European game last Thursday and
some consequent squad rotation, but the green-clad Magpies looked
anything but a side who had benefited from an extended period in
which to regroup.
Aside from one opportunity by Osula to double their lead, Eddie
Howe's side never looked in control once the Eagles made a triple
substitution and
proved unable to shake off their season-long habit of throwing away
leads, allowing Crystal Palace to score twice late on.
That all-too familiar capitulation followed the introduction of Jean-Philippe Mateta,
whose physical presence was akin to that of mackem forward Brian
Brobbey - and who managed to similarly unsettle
Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman.
Thiaw conceded a free-kick that Jefferson Lerma headed against the
bar before
an 80th minute leveller came when Daniel Munoz centred from the
right and Tyrick
Mitchell hooked the ball back Mateta to head in.
Mateta had replaced the unimpressive Jorgen Strand Larsen - close to a move to Tyneside last Summer - but in response the only
Newcastle substitution while they led was when Harvey Barnes was
swapped for the out-of-sorts Anthony Gordon, restored to a left wing
berth today.
Jacob Ramsey and Nick Woltemade came off the bench at 1-1 but any
notions of regaining the lead disappeared when Botman - clad in a
protective mask - conceded a spot-kick, grabbing Lerma's shirt as a
long throw reached the box.
Ramsdale came close to saving that, having made a fine double
stop in an otherwise turgid first half before Osula's 43rd minute
goal followed a great move down the right.
The returning Lewis Miley sent over the telling cross and Osula did
well to adjust after a touch from a defender, to turn the ball past
Dean Henderson from close range.
Miley was one of six changes to the side that started the derby
defeat, with Sandro Tonali, Tino Livramento, Jacob Murphy, Osula and Thiaw
the others.
The names may have changed, but the flaws were evident - and
exploited once again. Murphy wore the armband but was anything but
inspirational, losing the ball on countless occasions.
As damaging as the Tyne-wear loss was for Howe, this felt like a
more significant defeat - a lack of organisation and fight
reflecting badly on the management after the reset that the
international break had apparently offered.
The lukewarm post match applause from the emptying away end - with
as many boos as claps - summed up the trust in the player and their
manager that is steadily ebbing away.
Also bizarrely symbolic was substitute Yoane Wissa's ill-judged decision to
swap shirts with the home goalscorer, leaving Mateta to milk the
home applause while clad in a Newcastle no.9 the wrong way round....
Defeat left Newcastle languishing in 14th place; pre-match
talk of starting the push for Europe now very hollow.
The club may have sought to dismiss media headlines that Howe had
seven games to save his job after the CEO's recent comments,
but this careless, lack-lustre display didn't aid the manager's
cause one iota.
Full match report to follow.
Team: Ramsdale, Livramento, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, L.Miley,

After the game Eddie Howe said:
"I understand there's anger and frustration. I’m
not blind to anything. I always have to look at myself first. I
always say that. I'm number one accountable.
"I don't pick the team based on transfer fees. I pick the team based
on what I see.
"It's probably the story of our season: getting into winning
positions and not being able to hold on. I can't really put my
finger on it."
"A couple of games ago we beat Chelsea away and beat Manchester
United and you sit here off the back of a disappointing run and the
outside noise is to change everything.
"Sometimes you have got to believe in what you do but, of course, we
have to execute it better."
On losing 25 points from winning positions this season:
"I mean, those numbers are incredible, really. It's blighted our
season.
"The fact that we haven't been able to not just consolidate really
good passages of the game, but go on and score more goals and
continue to attack.
"I've said many times that's not the tactical instruction we give
the players. We don't want to go 1-0 up and change to a mentality of
defending, but we've done it, so I can't say it hasn't happened.
"But then if you are going to defend, we have to defend better than
we did and we gave a few chances, but we're still vulnerable towards
the end of the game and that's hugely disappointing.
"We were in total control of the game with 60 minutes gone. Then
their substitutes made the difference, Mateta in particular. He
proved to be a difficult customer for us to deal with.
"A defeat is really harsh on us because we controlled the first half
and phases of the second half."
Referee: Andy Madley - third Magpie posting of the season for
the West Yorkshire official, following the 2-2 home draw with
Chelsea and 2-3 loss to Brentford at Gallowgate.
VAR: Craig Pawson.

Bournemouth (h)
Saturday sees the Cherries in Toon, as
Eddie Howe makes another attempt to record a first Premier League
success for the Magpies against his former club.
Although Newcastle have beaten Bournemouth at SJP in both Carabao
Cup and FA Cup ties under Howe, they are winless in all seven home
or away PL meetings to date - drawing five and losing the other two.
Since our FA Cup success at SJP on penalties in January, Andoni
Iraola's side are unbeaten in all 11 fixtures.
Saturday will be Bournemouth's first game since their Spanish coach
confirmed that he won't be renewing his contract at the end of the
season.
It's an old-fashioned, non-televised 3pm
start.
The visitors have taken an allocation of 1,726 tickets.

Ahead of their visit to Tyneside, Bournemouth ended a run of five
successive Premier League draws with a 2-1 victory at Arsenal.
That extended their unbeaten PL run to 12 games home and away and
seven on the road (four draws and three wins).
Referee: Tom Bramall - third PL game involving Newcastle this
season for the Sheffield whistler, after the 2-2 home draw with
Spurs and 1-2 loss at Manchester City.
Bramall was also in charge of the FA Cup meeting between United and
Bournemouth in January.

Match report
U18s:
Clarets uncorked
Newcastle U18s 2 Burnley U18s 1
Newcastle's U18 side were back in league action at Little Benton on
Saturday, defeating a ten man Burnley side to maintain third place
in the league.
Goals in either half from Matt Taylor and Alfie Seldon won it for
the young Magpies, although Warren Taylor equalised from the spot
for the Clarets five minutes after the break.
Newcastle took the lead in the 14th minute, eight minutes before Diandro Fletchman
was red-carded for the visitors.
The ten man visitors drew level when Jude Cogdon fouled Tambwe
Leonard in the box and Taylor beat Roman Dowell from 12 yards out.
United almost immediately regained the lead, but the crossbar denied
Jayden Koussou from distance.
Seldon's sixth goal of the season then came in the 66th minute after being set up by Matt
Taylor.
That was enough for Chris Moore's side to claim victory and extend
their points tally to 37 with three games of their season remaining.
That's two points more than the U18s managed in the whole 2024/25
campaign.
Team: Dowell, trialist (Patterson 77), Bloomer, Epia, Yeutembip
(Gilligan 62),
Cogdon, Hutchison, Koussou (Ghanem 62), Wooster, Taylor (Callaghan
77), Seldon.
Sub n/u: Holland
Booked: Taylor, Cogdon
United's trialist defender was reported to be 18 year-old
Will McPartland, most
recently at Middlesbrough.
2025/26:
Moving the
goalposts
Two of Newcastle's remaining Premier League fixtures are still subject to
possible change - Friday bringing further frustration to the West Ham
home game.
Although PL's guidance stated that the live TV selections for that
weekend would be available on April 8th, the FSA (Football
Supporters Association) spotted that this section of the PL
website was sneakily amended to read:
Post-FA Cup semi-finals.
FA Cup semi-finals take place on 25-26 April. This is to avoid
further amendments to Premier League matches scheduled for the same
weekend.
So, with no prior warning, the PL have reduced the time period
to make plans involving that game by almost three weeks: further
proof if it were needed that match-going supporters are the very
least of their concerns.
Sun 17.05.2026
tbc West Ham (h) 3pm tbc
All PL fixtures
that weekend are provisionally listed as Sun 17.05.2026, with Sat
16.05.2026 set aside exclusively for the FA Cup Final to be played
at Wembley.
West Ham's FA Cup quarter-final defeat means that our fixture can
take place over that weekend, but depending on the live TV
selections could be played on Fri 15.05.2026, Sun
17.05.2026 or Mon 18.05.2026.
PL games are also set to be played on Tue 19.05.2026, but it's
expected that those only will be the ones postponed due to teams
involved playing in the FA Cup Final.
Sat 25.04.2026 Arsenal (a) 5.30pm Sky
PL advice
regarding this game is that the rescheduled slot remains
"subject to participation in UEFA competitions."
Should Arsenal win their Champions League quarter-final tie against
Sporting Lisbon, they'd be in Semi-final first leg action on Tue
28.04.2026 or Wed 29.04.2026.
Following the first leg in Portugal, the Gunners lead 1-0 going into
the second leg this coming Wed, 15.04.2026.
Our visit to Arsenal remains at risk of further rescheduling at very short notice,
although their exit from the CL rather than progression in it looks
to be the deciding factor for the PL.
The lack of any PL games on Sun 26.04.2026 had prompted speculation
that our game could be moved were Arsenal to be eliminated by
Sporting - and then have a free midweek following our visit.
However, Arsenal have now confirmed that their Women's Champions
League Semi-final against Lyon will be played at the Emirates on Sun
26.04.2026.
That removes the Sunday option and whether the Arsenal men are still
in the CL or not, there seems no reason for a further amendment to
our rescheduled fixture at 5.30pm on Sat 25.04.2026. Hopefully.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are offered to applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total. Only those within the new loyalty point total are
then eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.

Born Or Died:
1885 Jimmy Soye born, Govan,
Scotland.
(1906-09)
Right winger who came to
prominence playing for Distillery in Northern Ireland and after one full season
joined Southampton in the summer of 1905.
A year later he was on the move again, this time signing for Newcastle along
with fellow Saint Harry Brown.
However, Jimmy was never able to claim a regular starting place in the side and
was moved on to Aberdeen at the end of the 1908/09 campaign - Wilf Low going
the opposite way in a part-exchange deal.
He went on to make over 200 appearances in six seasons at Pittodrie, before his
playing career came to an end when normal league football was suspended during
WW1.
1926 Jorge Oliver
"George" Robledo born, Iquique, Chile. (1949-53)
Chilean-born with an English
mother, George and his family relocated to England in 1932 and worked as a
miner, appearing for Huddersfield Town as an amateur.
Signing for Barnsley in 1943 (along with his younger brother, Eduardo), the
goalscoring form of George brought him to Newcastle's attention and he and
Eduardo joined United in a joint £26,500 deal early in 1949.
Debuting in a 2-0 home win over Charlton in February 1949, his first senior
goal for the Magpies came a month later, hitting the winner in a 2-1 derby win
at SJP.
George became the first South American to appear in an FA Cup Final when United
beat Blackpool in 1951 and a year later, headed the only goal of the game as
Arsenal were beaten and the trophy was retained.
Both he and his brother returned to Chile in 1953, signing for the Colo-Colo club
and winning two league titles. George later played for O'Higgins before finally
hanging up his boots in 1961.
Capped 31 times for Chile between 1950 and 1957 and netting eight goals, George
later worked as a sports teacher and made a return visit to Tyneside during the
1980s.
He succumbed to a heart attack in April 1989 and is buried in Santiago.
1941 Matthew Hogg born,
Dinnington.
(19??-61)
Full back who failed to make the grade at SJP, moving on to Darlington.
Matty later appeared for South Shields.
1944 George Watkin born, Chopwell.
(1960-63)
Centre forward George joined Newcastle in 1960 and played in
the FA Youth Cup winning side two years later, scoring six times.
His sole senior competitive game for United was a 0-0 draw at Bury in December
1962 deputising for the indisposed Barrie Thomas.
Leaving SJP in 1963, George appeared for Kings Lynn, Cambridge City and
Chesterfield before returning to his native North East with Gateshead in 1965.
Living near Consett, he was sadly diagnosed as suffering from Parkinson's
Disease during 2002. He passed away in July 2018.
1974 John Watson born,
South Shields. (1990-93)
Forward who joined from Wallsend Boys Club and came through
United's junior
and reserve ranks to earn a professional deal.
Appearing mostly as a right back while at Newcastle, John made his debut off
the bench in 1-2 loss to already-relegated Hull City at St. James' Park in May
1991.
A second senior outing then came as a substitute during United's 0-3 defeat at
Bari in the Anglo-Italian Cup in December 1992.
Following an unsuccessful trial at West Bromwich Albion, Watson joined Scunthorpe United
ahead of the 1993/94 season.
However, things failed to work out at the Iron and he returned to the region to join Gateshead - playing at the
International Stadium in three different spells.
After some time in the USA he returned to play for Durham City, taking
temporary command there in 2005.
Two spells with Whitley Bay, one with Newcastle Benfield and a stint with Bedlington Terriers
(including taking caretaker charge) followed, before John ended his playing
days with Annfield Plain.
Watson worked for Gateshead Council and continued his playing career in local
veteran's football - with 2016 finding him in the Wallsend Winstons Over 40s
side.
1997 Callum Roberts born, Newcastle. (2013-19)
A pupil at Churchill Community College in Wallsend,
striker/winger Callum first linked up with Newcastle aged eight, before joining the
club's Academy as a scholar in 2013.
Debuting at U18 level in a home win over Aston Villa the previous October,
Roberts then netted twice against Stoke City in only his second competitive
appearance.
Rewarded with an U21 debut against West Ham at Whitley Park in September 2013,
a fine display against Liverpool at Anfield six months later saw Callum net in
a 2-5 loss.
January 2015 saw Roberts make his senior bow for the club, arriving as a second
half substitute during the 0-1 away defeat at Leicester City in the FA Cup.
Callum then signed a deal running until 2019 before a loan to Gateshead soon
after. However he made just three
appearances before returning.
Continuing to play for Newcastle reserves, he was loaned to Kilmarnock in January 2017 but failed to find the net
in 11 appearances (five starts).
A rare Magpie first team outing then came in a pre-season
friendly at Preston North End during July 2018, before resuming for the
second string XI and bagging 12 league and cup goals that season.
There was an unexpected return to senior service in January 2019, in a FA Cup Third Round Replay at Blackburn Rovers.
Both he and fellow reserve Sean Longstaff netted in a 4-2 victory at Ewood
Park, but while Longstaff retained his place in the first team, Roberts wasn't
so fortunate.
A loan move to fourth tier side Colchester United followed,
but after just three
substitute appearances totalling less than 40 minutes he was recalled.
Failing to win a new deal at SJP, Callum began pre-season on trial at
Southend United but was almost immediately injured.
Featuring for Boro U23s in the early weeks of the 2019/20 season, Roberts turned up at Lee Clark's Blyth Spartans side.
After bagging a hatful of goals for them, Callum signed
for National League side Notts County during January 2020.
Helping them to the promotion playoff final at Wembley, he
netted against Harrogate Town but ended up on the losing
side.
Two further seasons at Meadow followed during which he overcame fitness issues
and regained his goal touch before leaving in July 2022, when signing for Aberdeen.
Callum's next move took him South of the border, signing for
National League North Scunthorpe United in June 2023.
He scored an impressive 21 times in 41 appearances in
his first season and has followed that up with 19 from
40 this season so far as the Iron push for promotion
back to League Two.
 1999 Tyrique Bartlett born, Zurich, Switzerland. (2016-19)
The
son of South African international striker Shaun, Tyrique
was born in Switzerland while his father played for FC Zurich, but raised in
South Africa and London.
First spotted appearing
for Newcastle's
U23 side in a training ground kickabout against Burnley in December 2016, the
striker scored in a similar game with Kilmarnock soon after.
Following receipt of his FIFA clearance, Tyrique made his
competitive Magpies debut in a Northumberland Senior Cup victory over Northern
League Blyth FC in late 2017.
A handful of other appearances followed for the U23s that season, Bartlett
also making an international debut when representing South Africa at U20
level.
However, ankle ligament problems sidelined Tyrique during the following season
and he was missing until after the turn of the year, marking his comeback with
goals against Reading and Wolves.
That wasn't enough to win an extended deal on Tyneside though and he left that
summer.
Bartlett's next port of call was Cape Umoya United in South
Africa, signing for them during February 2020. However he
had departed by the end of the year and joined Cape Town
Spurs - remaining there until released in 2022.

What Else?
1894 Grimsby Town
(a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division Two
36pts,
4th/15
2,000
Having hauled themselves up from the lower reaches
of the table by winning ten of the final 13 games,
this point saw United end their first league season
in fourth position.
This meeting with the Mariners was staged at their
Abbey Park ground in Grimsby.
1900 Glossop (a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P31, 32pts, 6th/18
2,000
There was a debut for right back Jimmy Lindsay
as United travelled to Derbyshire for this fixture
at North Road.
Dropping the North End suffix from their name for
what proved to be their sole season of top flight
football, Glossop were relegated and dropped out of
the Football League following the outbreak of World
War One.
1904 Shaddongate
United (a)
4-1 (1-1)
Friendly
Fraser 3, Finlay
Spottiswood
3,000
One of the last games Shaddongate played before
changing their name to Carlisle United, this was
staged at Milholme Bank, Carlisle.
Some newspaper reports credit Harrison of Newcastle with the second goal and
Fraser as having netting twice, not three times.
1906 Notts
County (a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P33, 36pts, 9th/20
Green(70)
18,000
24 hours after winning 4-1 at Bury, Newcastle
moved on to Nottingham where they took to the field
at The City Ground - Notts unable to use their usual
home venue of Trent Bridge due to a cricket match.
A debutant for United in a much-changed lineup
(with one eye on their forthcoming FA Cup Final
appearance) was Sid Blake - who then converted from
an outfield player to a goalkeeper for the rest
of his career.
The visitors were forced to play 80 minutes a man
short, after Tony Whitson broke his finger in the
opening exchanges.
1911 Sheffield
Wednesday (h)
0-2 (0-0)
Division One
P36, 38pts, 6th/20
Wilson(60), Robertson(75)
30,000
This Good
Friday home defeat was perhaps inevitable, given
that "Newcastle played in a half-hearted
fashion and were never dangerous" according
to one reporter.
1913 Sheffield
Wednesday (a)
2-1 (2-0)
Division One
P36, 34pts, 13th/20
Cooper(10), Hibbert(2-0)
Mclean(77pen)
14,000
Newcastle's victory at Hillsborough ended realistic
hopes that the Owls had of winning the title while
strengthening the chances that the mackems would
become champions.
Trailing 0-2 at the interval, the hosts got back
into the game via a penalty conversion for handball
but couldn't force an equaliser - home fans
barracking United for their offside tactics
perpetuated by Bill McCracken.
1915 Burnley (h)
1-2 (0-1)
Division One
P35, 28pts, 16th/20
Hibbert(56)
Boyle(20), Kelly(67)
6,000
One of those days for the black and whites,
denied a penalty in the second half with the score
at 0-1 when the referee over-ruled his linesman
after he indicated a handball.
After levelling and going 1-2 down, United then
reportedly struck the Burnley crossbar on no less than four
occasions.
1922 Bradford
City (h)
1-2 (1-1)
Division One
P37, 38pts, 11th/22
Harris(30)
Chalmers(23), Winn(56)
20,000
Some contemporary reports name the scorer of
Bradford's winning goal as former Magpie William
Hibbert.
1923 Stoke (a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P38, 41pts, 8th/22
Watkin(86)
20,000
Many home fans had already left the Victoria
Ground before Stoke summoned up the late winner that
kept their chances of remaining in the top flight
alive.
Despite this
victory however, they would still suffer relegation.
1926 Manchester
United (h)
4-1 (3-1)
Division One
P39, 38pts, 11th/22
Hudspeth(17pen), Clark(35), McDonald(45),
Urwin(61)
Hanson(5)
15,000
The Magpies won convincingly despite being
without Hughie Gallacher and the margin of victory
would have been more but for the heroics of visiting
custodian Alf Steward.
1928 Liverpool
(a)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P37, 37pts, 13th/22
25,000
 1932 Chelsea (a)
1-4 (1-4)
Division One
P37, 38pts, 10th/22
MacKenzie(40)
Gallacher(20,26,31),
Jackson(21)
12,605
A month
after losing the FA Cup Semi Final to the Magpies at
Leeds Road, the Blues gained revenge on home soil.
And in a mirror image of the result at SJP,
former Magpie favourite and programme cover
star Hughie Gallacher hit a lightning treble.
1934
Huddersfield Town (a)
1-4 (0-1)
Division One
P40, 32pts, 21st/22
Williams(72)
J.Smith(44), Williams(48), Bott(0-3,58)
10,356
A disastrous defeat
by the title-challenging
Terriers that left United on the brink of demotion
with just two games remaining.
Huddersfield's first scorer Jack Smith became a
Newcastle player the following September, while
fellow Town scorer Wilf Bott was also in Magpie colours
by the start of 1935.
 1945
Bradford City (a)
1-0 (0-0)
Wartime
Hair
10,000
A second half strike from George Hair completed
an aggregate 7-2 victory for United in this Football
League War Cup Second Round tie.
 1948
Fulham (h)
1-0 (0-0)

A fifth successive win for Jim Smith's side and
a first Magpie victory at Molineux since 1959.

Ferdinand(63)

The pressure was mounting on title-chasing
United and Kevin Keegan in particular, who took left
back Beresford off after 25 minutes following an
argument between player and home bench.
Sir Les netted with a wonderful header to grab three
vital points against a Villa side who seemed almost
as pleased as the home crowd - especially
local lad Tommy Johnson, who contrived to miss a
chance that looked easier to score.

crashing out on aggregate.
Despite being without Laurent Robert after pre-game
press comments resulting in his omission from the
squad, Kieron Dyer fired United into a 2-0 aggregate
lead, leaving Sporting the
daunting task of scoring three.
This they did,
getting one five minutes before half-time and then two
more in six second half minutes.
As United searched for a late
Feyenoord -type "winner" Stephen Carr's awful blunder allow
Sporting to make it 4-1.

An ankle injury sustained

However, he missed the next eight

There were widespread reports that Mike Ashley had agreed to sell Newcastle United for a claimed £300m. According to Sky, the
prospective new ownership was:
"The Saudi fund (PIF), controlled by Prince Mohammed bin Salman
will hold 80% of the club shares, while Amanda Staveley will
hold 10% of the shares and it is expected that she will play
a key role in the running of the club.
"The final 10 per cent will be controlled by billionaire
brothers, David and Simon Reuben."
However, the takeover was still 18 months from being completed.
2025 48 hours after announcing that Eddie
Howe had been hospitalised due to illness, United
confirmed that the Magpies boss was suffering from
pneumonia.
