Ten games into the season and defending Champions Newcastle sat on top of the table - ahead of Bury on goal difference.

To overcome the Owls though, the Magpies had to recover from a half time deficit - the first time they'd done so in the league since football returned after the end of WW1.

Newcastle's sixth win in as many home games came in part due to a hat-trick from Billy Cairns, but Tommy Mooney earned top billing in the local newspaper reports.

The left winger netted twice and laid on two goals for Cairns, in addition to several other crosses that weren't converted.

Magpies boss Tom Mather wasn't present, watching Chesterfield's reserve centre half Ken Booker in a Central League game against Liverpool. He wasn't impressed.

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.

United conceded an early goal in Budapest after John Beresford and Pavel Srnicek left it to each other to clear the danger - and were promptly punished.

They went further behind before Les Ferdinand netted with a header and Alan Shearer volleyed in to restore parity.

Ferdinand 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 in added time, only for Swedish referee Leif Sundell to chalk off his effort. 

Normal service was resumed when the teams met at SJP, United winning the second leg 4-0.

5-0 up after the first leg, antics off the pitch sadly overshadowed what was an instantly forgettable performance.

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.

United debuted at the JJB Stadium as they faced the Latics for the very first time in the League - their only previous visit for an FA Cup tie at Springfield Park in 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 near the end. 

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

Toon fans: "You only sing at the rugby."

For a third successive home league game, United went ahead but were unable to collect three points, after another sub-standard 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 gate was the lowest for a home league game at the rebuilt SJP since it re-opened in August 2000.

2012 Nile Ranger was found guilty of two counts of assaulting a police officer at Newcastle Crown Court, but cleared of actual bodily harm on two passers-by.

Ranger had denied the ABH charges but admitted the assault, claiming self-defence following an incident in Newcastle city centre during which he was racially abused. 

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

2019 A 2-0 victory over Ireland in Geneva maintained Switzerland's bid to qualify for Euro 2020. Newcastle's Fabian Schar was in the Swiss side with Jeff Hendrick lining up for the visitors - within a year they would be team mates at Gallowgate.

2022 A crowd of 43,119 were at SJP to witness the opening match of the men's Rugby League World Cup Finals.

The game finished in a resounding 60-6 victory for hosts England over Samoa.

2025 Penalty shootout success for the U21s came at Mansfield Town in the EFL Trophy, following a 2-2 draw.

Ahead through Cathal Heffernan, United fell behind and looked set for defeat until an own goal in second half added time dramatically took the tie to spot kicks.

Sean Neave, Sam Alabi, Joe Brayson, Park Seung-soo and Charlie McArthur all netted in a 5-3 victory.
