United's youngsters proved to
be no more adept at beating the Toffees at Little Benton on Saturday
than their senior team colleagues had been on Merseyside last
Thursday.
The visitors made and missed four presentable chances during the
opening half hour, before the hosts shipped two goals within a
minute.
A succession of errors allowed striker Kai Hutchison to bear down on
goal and beat George Mair; Everton then doubling their lead from the
next attack as Freddie Murdock slid in to convert a pull back from
Amari Moses on the left flank.
The introduction of Ethan Ndiweni and Sam Alabi just before the hour
gave much-needed impetus to the home attack; the latter quickly
testing goalkeeper Seve Patrick.
It took until the 82nd minute for the black and whites to get on the
board; Ndiweni upended in the box by Patrick but referee Jamie Cann
allowing play to continue and Sammy Pinnington to finish into an
empty net.
United created a couple of half-chances as they sought to salvage a
barely-deserved point, only for the Toffees to seal victory in the
third minute of time added on, when Shea Pita fired decisively past
Mair from inside the area.
Team: Mair, Kyle-Matthews (Patterson 67), Skelton (Benjamin

Update:
More Metro misery
From Nexus:
Routine inspections during the
current closure between Monkseaton and St James have identified the
need for urgent repairs to a bridge in North Shields.
This means services between Tynemouth and Wallsend will remain
suspended until Thursday 5 November.
Metro services on the Yellow Line will operate at the normal
frequency between South Shields and Tynemouth via Whitley Bay,
although there may be some minor changes to the timing of some
journeys.
Services between St James and Wallsend will operate every 20
minutes.

Posh punished
Newcastle U21s 2 Peterborough U21s 0
It's four successive victories now for Newcastle U21s, who followed
up Monday's PL2 conquest of the mackems at St. James' Park with a
lower profile PL Cup win on Friday.
The hosts came close to opening the scoring in the 22nd minute when
Park Seung-soo pulled the ball back from the left side to Vakhtang
Salia.
However his shot cannoned off Bastian Smith and the visiting
custodian turned a 36th minute effort from Kyle Fitzgerald round the
post to keep the Magpies at bay.
Newcastle took the lead six minutes after the break when Johnny
Emerson's speculative cross from the right took
a slight deflection and dropped in the far side of the net.
Emerson then centred from the right in the 64th minute for
Jayden Kouossu to bury a header from inside the six yard box - a
first reserve goal for the 16 year-old midfielder.
Further goals from Alfie Seldon and Vakhtang Salia could have
followed, Smith denying Emerson in the closing stages after
substitute Matheos Ferreira had set him away.
Team: Dowell, Johnson, Fitzgerald (K.Thompson 73), Craggs, Watts, Bailey

Emerson, Kuoussu, Salia (Wooster 73), Seldon (Bloomer 75), Seung-soo

Freedom :
KK honoured
From NUFC, Tuesday:
Newcastle City Council is set to award its highest honour, the
Freedom of the City, posthumously to Newcastle United legend
Kevin Keegan.
Members will vote on the motion during a special council
meeting on Wednesday, 4 November. If approved, it will mark the
first time Newcastle City Council has awarded its highest civic
distinction posthumously. Following approval, Keegan’s name will be
permanently inscribed on the wall of the Civic Centre’s Banqueting
Hall alongside fellow honorary freemen.
Keegan will join an exclusive group of awardees, including
other Newcastle United figures Alan Shearer, Sir Bobby Robson,
Jackie Milburn and more recently Eddie Howe. The club itself was
awarded the Freedom of the City in the 1990s after celebrating its
centenary year.
Council Leader Cllr Colin Ferguson originally nominated Keegan
for the honour in June. Keegan and his family were informed the
following month of the decision to recognise his outstanding
contribution to the city. Sadly, he passed away in July before the
award could be considered in public and formally presented.
David Hopkinson, Newcastle United’s CEO, said: “Kevin Keegan
will always be, quite simply, one of the most important, influential
and beloved figures in the history of Newcastle United.
“His impact on our club, our city and generations of
supporters is immeasurable. As both a player and manager, he helped
shape some of the most memorable chapters in our history and created
a bond with Newcastle that leaves a true legacy.
“The proposal to make Kevin an Honorary Freeman of Newcastle,
the highest civic honour, is a fitting recognition for one of the
city’s greatest icons.”
Cllr Colin Ferguson, leader of Newcastle City Council, said:
“We were all deeply saddened to learn of Kevin Keegan’s death in
July, and you could see from the enormous amount of tributes left
outside St James’ Park what he meant to the city and the footballing
world. The stories that have been shared about Kevin and the impact
he made have been inspiring and show just how much he was loved not
only by our city, but across the world.
“You don’t have to be a football fan to understand the impact
that Kevin had on the city, on both occasions at a time when it was
needed the most.
“As a player, he helped put Newcastle United and the city back
in the spotlight, with a two-time Ballon d’Or winner joining a then
Second Division side. And then as a manager, he brought so much joy
to thousands of fans with his style of play, with people from around
the world falling in love with the team.
“Kevin will forever be a hero to Newcastle United supporters
for his achievements and the lasting legacy he leaves behind. The
proposal to posthumously bestow the Honorary Freedom of Newcastle on
Kevin is a fitting tribute to everything he gave to our city, and I
hope council members will support it when they consider the motion."
In a statement, the Keegan family said: “Kevin always shared
his love for Newcastle United, Geordies and the city, captivating us
with stories told with his infectious smile.
“Seeing the tributes brought those stories to life for Kevin’s
grandchildren, showing them how deeply their grandfather was loved
in return. It also allowed us a quiet moment to reflect on many fond
memories of Kevin’s incredible career and the incomparable bond he
shared with Newcastle.”
Update:
TA joins Toon Army
From NUFC, Tuesday:
Newcastle United is pleased to announce the appointment of
Tomás Amaral as the club's new Head of First Team Recruitment.
Tomás arrives with extensive experience across European
football, having built a reputation for talent identification,
market intelligence and strategic squad planning through roles in
Portugal, Spain and Russia.
The Portuguese was most recently Sporting Director at Spartak
Moscow. He previously held a scouting leadership position at Benfica,
where he played a key role during a period that culminated in the
club’s most recent Primeira Liga title in 2023.
Tomás’ appointment forms part of Newcastle United's ongoing
strengthening of its talent identification and recruitment
structure. Reporting to Sporting Director Ross Wilson, Tomás will
lead the club's first team scouting operation and will play an
important role in further expanding the club's market presence and
relationships across key territories.
As part of the department's evolution, Paul Midgley will also
report directly to Ross Wilson in overseeing Academy recruitment and
global emerging talent scouting.
Sporting Director Ross Wilson said: “Tomás' appointment is an
important step as we reshape and strengthen our recruitment
structure.
“It was important that we identified a leader who could
further enhance our capability and help drive our long-term
ambitions, and Tomás has established an excellent reputation for his
strategic approach to talent identification.
“He is highly respected across European football and brings
significant experience, outstanding market knowledge and a strong
network of relationships.
“I am delighted to welcome him to Newcastle United and look
forward to working closely with him.”
Tomás said: “It is with great pride and a strong sense of
responsibility that I join Newcastle United, a historic club with
passionate supporters who have high expectations and ambitions.
“From my very first conversations with Ross Wilson, I
immediately understood the vision and the direction the club wants
to take over the coming years.
“I strongly share the ideas and ambitions of the people at the
club, and I am determined to play my part in contributing to
Newcastle United’s success.
I am really looking forward to meeting
everyone and getting started at a club with such high standards.”

ST holders have 24
hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours for success to be determined, then 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 then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.
Only those within the new loyalty point total are
eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away ticket prices are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27
and 2027/28 seasons.

On This Day in History |

1st November |

Born Or Died:
1921 Norman Dodgin born, Gateshead. (1940-50)
Defender who was at SJP during WW2, but didn't make a
competitive debut until 1947, when appearing in place of the injured Joe
Harvey in a home defeat by Chesterfield.
Norman moved on to Reading in June 1950 in a £5,000 deal, but barely a year
later was transferred to Northampton Town.
A longer posting to Exeter City saw him arrive as a player, before going into
management with the Grecians.
Dodgin took charge of non-league Yeovil Town in the summer of 1957, but left
before the season started, after being poached by Barrow (at the time a
Football League side).
His final club was Oldham Athletic, taking charge at Boundary Park between 1958
and 1960. Norman passed away in 2000.
1929 George Brander born, Aberdeen, Scotland. (1952-54)
Left winger signed from Raith Rovers as an understudy to
Bobby Mitchell, marking his 23rd birthday by debuting in a 1-0 home victory
over Derby County in 1952.
A lack of first team opportunities however saw George return to his native Scotland with
Stirling Albion in January 1954 for a £1,000 fee.
He also played for Huntly and Fraserburgh - featuring for the latter in a
Scottish Cup giant-killing, defeating Dundee 1-0 in 1959.
Brander died in Aberdeen during June 1995.
1942 Preben Arentoft born, Copenhagen, Denmark.
(1969-71)
The Dashing Dane was signed from Scottish side Greenock Morton,
allowing United to evade a ban on signing overseas players who hadn't lived
in the UK and planned to remain there (marrying a Scottish lass also helped
his cause).
The midfielder known as "Benny" debuted in a 1-0 victory at
Spurs in April 1969 and marked his home debut a week later by scoring in a
3-2 home win against Sheffield Wednesday.
However, it was his goal in the second leg of the Fairs Cup Final in Budapest
two months later that placed him in United folklore.
Benny remained in Toon and appeared in our European campaigns in the following
two seasons before joining Blackburn Rovers, where he played full back.
His final club proved to be Swedish outfit Helsingborgs,
before he returned to settle in his home city, working for the local council
and also becoming known as an art dealer.
2009 saw Benny return to Tyneside for the 40th anniversary celebrations of the
Fairs Cup triumph, making the journey by sea due to an aversion to flying.
1977 Carl Cort born, Southwark, London. (2000-04)
Bought from Wimbledon for £7m during July 2000, Cort's senior
bow for The Wombles came at SJP in September 1997 - netting within two
minutes of the kick-off.
That came after he'd been loaned to Lincoln City, returning to The Dons and an England
U21 call-up.
Cort initially did well on Tyneside, scoring three goals in pre-season and
taking four minutes of his competitive debut to net.
However after just five competitive games, a hamstring injury put him out for
six months - a stop-start pattern that was to repeat itself throughout his
four year stay.
To general relief, Cort made a £2m switch to Wolves during January 2004, but
Bobby Robson reacted with fury when press reports called the striker a waste
of money:
"I wish him well. I bought Carl Cort, I'll stand up for my judgment on Carl
Cort, and I hope Carl Cort, if he goes, I hope he does really well.
"He will prove to be a Premiership player
and he might kick us in the teeth one day - and I hope he does.
"That boy has gone from one horrendous
injury to another - he was never Marcelino. He never gave me one moment -
not a minute, I said a moment - of problems.
"We tried to keep him going with one injury
on to another. He had a hazardous time, poor kid, went from one serious
injury to another. He's not a hypochondriac, they were genuine injuries.
"When we bought him, we thought 'what a
player we've got here'. We were delighted with him, and then sadly, he's
just had a terrible time."
Carl became a Molineux goal hero, at one time netting 30 times
in 70 appearances for Wolves.
However, he then reverted back to type, injury & suspension seeing him play
just ten times in 2006/07 - no goals but a red card.
Joining Leicester City, in June 2007, his first Foxes goal came
at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea in the League Cup.
Just over six months later though -
and having failed to score again for Leicester
- Cort signed for Spanish side UD Marbella.
That stay was again blighted by hamstring injuries
though and he left within months, belatedly
reappearing on trial at Norwich City in the final
weeks of 2008.
A short-term deal with the Canaries saw him net once
in a dozen outings, before leaving Carrow Road in
the close season.
Appearing on trial in pre-season at Peter Taylor's
Wycombe Wanderers, Cort then signed a permanent deal
with Brentford.
Playing 31 times for The Bees, Carl found the net
just six times and left Griffin Park in January
2011.
He then belatedly resurfaced in August 2012 with
NASL side Tampa Bay Rowdies, in the second tier of
US professional soccer.
Cort's goal helped his side to win the NASL Soccer
Bowl in October 2012, beating the Minnesota Stars on
penalties after the two legged final ended 3-3 on
aggregate - although he missed his shootout kick.
Remaining in the USA after hanging up his boots, 2022
found Cort working as an Uber driver in the city of
Las Vegas.
While Carl isn't remembered fondly on Tyneside,
his off-field activities raised a titter, in
particular with ex-wife Melissa.
In the run-up to Christmas 2001, the-then Mr and Mrs
Cort were ejected from Tesco at Kingston Park in a
"trolley rage" incident.
And relations had deteriorated within a year, with
Cort taking out a restraining order against his now
ex-wife, who attacked him when she found her former
husband with another woman.
Monuments to Cort sprang
up all over Tyneside
1982 Bradley Orr born, Liverpool. (1996-04)
With Everton as a bairn, central
midfielder Bradley joined United's academy aged 14
and came through the youth sides to make a reserve
team bow in September 2000.
Loaned to third tier side Burnley in January 2004, he
was on the bench for United's UEFA Cup Semi-Final at
home to Marseille three months later but released
soon after.
Joining Bristol City, six years at Ashton Gate saw him
convert to right back, be sent off for attempting to
headbutt a team mate and receive a 28 day prison
sentence following a fight outside a Bristol
nightclub.
Moving on to QPR in 2010, Orr was part of the side
that won promotion to the Premier League but then
found his pitch time limited and was sold to
Blackburn Rovers in 2012.
However he failed to win a regular starting place and
was loaned out to Ipswich Town, Blackpool and MLS
side Toronto.
Returning to England in 2015, Bradley chose to retire
from playing at the age of 32, following his release
by Blackburn.
He later worked as a player's agent and ran a sports
management company in Liverpool - representing
childhood pal Joey Barton at an FA hearing over
illegal betting in 2018.
1995 Macauley Booth born, Stockport.
(2012-14)
Full back who appeared as a trialist for United's U18s in the closing weeks of
the 2011/12 season following his release by Blackburn Rovers.
Doing enough to earn a place in the Magpies Academy, Macauley featured at both
U18 league and Youth Cup level during the following season and was also
named as an unused sub for the U21 side.
Debuting at reserve level in a 3-4 defeat to Boro in August 2013, Booth then
suffered knee ligament damge and celebrated his 18th birthday while still
sidelined.
Released by United in Summer 2014, Macauley later played for North West
Counties side Congleton Town.

Division One

Haywood(20,52),
Miller(57)
8,000
What were reportedly "vehement
protestations" came from United when referee Kirkham allowed the third
Wolves goal to stand, despite the ball not appearing to cross the line when it
bounced down off the crossbar.
And to complete Newcastle's miserable afternoon, Bob McColl blasted his 80th
minute penalty kick over the crossbar.
Sam Graham and Ord Richardson were both given their first taste of senior
football - the latter never selected again.

Jennings(13)
13,534

McGuigan(89)
Groves(6), Henderson(51,88)
62,801
It proved to be third time unlucky for
Newcastle against the league leader, after winning both of their last two visits to
Highbury.
Trailing 0-2, Tommy Docherty's foul on future Gunner George Eastham allowed Ivor
Allchurch to net his penalty - having indicated to Welsh international team mate
Jack Kelsey where he would put it.
England Manager Walter Winterbottom and the national team selectors were present
to watch United's Len White but had a quiet afternoon and was well
shackled.

P15, 15pts, 11th/22
Gowling(42), Nattrass(69)
34,968
Only 'keeper Jimmy Rimmer saved the Gunners from
a heavier defeat as Alan Gowling made it 12 goals in all competitions.
A spectacular 25 yard strike from Irving Nattrass then sealed victory - the
scorer revealing that he'd asked come off shortly before scoring, but coach
Richard Dinnis convinced him to play on after treatment.
 1980
Watford (h)
2-1 (2-1)
Division Two
P15, 16pts, 8th/22
Hibbitt(10), Shinton(22)

There was a winning debut for left back Peter Johnson, who
played what his probably his best game for the club.

was to be the sole (substitute) appearance of his brief
time at the Hawthorns.

1994 Athletic Bilbao (Spain) (a)
0-1 (0-0)
(3-3 on aggregate, lost on away goals)
UEFA Cup 2nd Round, 2nd Leg
Ciganda(67)
47,000
United's European return after a 17 year absence ended
at the second time of asking, two late goals conceded to
the Basque side in the first at SJP proving decisive.
United were without Andy Cole and kept the Basques at bay
until a shot from Jose Angel Ziganda deflected off Steve
Howey and slithered under the diving Pavel Srnicek.
Blibao then missed a late penalty after Bez was adjudged
to have fouled Suances in the box, the spot kick hitting
a post before the referee blew for an infringement
before the rebound was whacked home.
Kevin Keegan's side were unable to conjure up the goal
that would have taken us through however, with a late
Beardsley shimmy and shot blocked by Valencia.
Despite that disappointment, this trip to the San Mames
remains a favourite European memory for many, due to the
warmth of the reception from the home fans.
That was due in no small part to the positive experience
reported by Bilbao fans and media who had travelled to
Tyneside -the local newspaper making favourable
comparisons between Geordies and the Basques.
Scandalously, the
peaceful post-match pitch invasion by home fans was
reported as a riot involving Toon fans by The Sun
- total lies.

Barnes(4pen) Tomasson(45), Beresford(90)
Marshall(12,32), Elliott(54)
36,754
Jon Dahl Tomasson finally got off the mark on his
twelfth start for United, but few inside SJP were aware
of that until half time PA confirmation.
The Danish youngster was leading the attack in the absence
of Alan Shearer, Tino Asprilla, Ian Rush and Keith
Gillespie.
That goal decision appeared to have come from within the
dressing room and looked to be harsh on Tomasson's Toon
colleague Des Hamilton, whose effort was goalbound.
John Beresford blasted home to make it 3-3 in the final
seconds and there was still time for Emile Heskey to be
dismissed after clashing with Philippe Albert.

similar.

2004 Peter Ramage
finally ended a reserve goal famine after 443
minutes, putting Newcastle one up against Leeds at
Kingston Park.
Substitute Marc Walton then sealed a first victory in six
games - despite strong Leeds protests that the ball
hadn't crossed the line.

2008
Michael McCrudden's
fifth goal of the season made it four successive wins
for the U18s, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 to maintain
pole position.
2010 The club released this
statement:
"There has
been unfounded speculation today suggesting that Freddy
Shepherd intends to put a consortium together in a bid
to buy Newcastle United FC from its owner, Mike Ashley.
"The Club can confirm that it has not received any contact
from Freddy Shepherd expressing an interest in buying
the Club, nor is the Club for sale."
The story looked to have surfaced on the ESPN website,
with later claims that the ex Chairman had refused to
rule out such a move. That differed from Sky Sports, who
claimed to have received a denial from the Shepherd
camp.
2011
United reserves made it
six games unbeaten after registering a first win at
Wigan's Robin Park in six attempts.
A 2-0 success came thanks to goals in each half from Haris
Vuckic and Mehdi Abeid.

A fourth successive league and cup win had home fans waving placards with
"Alan Pardew - back from the dead" as United moved into the top half of
the table.
"I love the city and I enjoy the job," said Pards afterwards. Within
two months he'd been installed as Crystal Palace Manager.

Everton (h)
2-1 (0-0)
Premier League
Wilson(56pen,84)
Calvert-Lewin(90+1)
BCD
Callum Wilson's second half brace prevented Everton returning to the top of the
Premier League.
mackem 'keeper Jordan Pickford was dropped after previous
clangers in games against us, meaning
that he
was denied the chance to repeat his SJP penalty save two seasons earlier
when Wilson went down in the box.
That decision survived a lengthy VAR check before Wilson fired past debutant
custodian Robin Olsen for his third spot kick success of the season.
It looked to be game over when Wilson touched in a deflected cross, but
Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal at the start of six added minutes ensured a
nervy finale.

Newcastle charged into the last eight of the Carabao

fans.
Fabulous goals from Miggy Almiron and Lewis Hall in the first half were followed up with a superb strike from Joe Willock.
