United went ahead through Hughie Gallacher who as the Daily Courier reporter wrote, "took Lang's centre in delectable style and whipped it into the net long before (goalkeeper) Davies could shape for the shot."

Future Newcastle manager George Martin netted twice to give Everton a 2-1 half time lead, before the Toffees forged ahead.

Gallacher's second rounded off the scoring, with the Courier concluding that, "Gallacher was the pillar on which the United building stood. He is a marvel, cunning, quick, an opportunist and a thinker."

1929 Meanwhile, United's reserve side were facing Spennymoor United in a North Eastern League fixture at Gallowgate.

Debuting for the Magpies was inside forward Alfred Jones, who had been signed from Lancaster City days earlier. 

The 21 year-old proceeded to score three goals as the home side won 9-0.

Terrible weather conditions saw the SJP crowd reduced from 35,000 in the previous home game - and those that did brave the elements had little to entertain them, with Peter Shilton in the Foxes goal equal to anything we created.

1968 no such problems for the reserves, who scored three times without reply en route to winning their fourth consecutive game.

Alan Duffy, Gordon Hindson and an OG netted in an emphatic 3-0 success at Blackpool.

Referee Trelford Mills returned to a chorus of boo's from the Gallowgate faithful, and as usual controversy followed close behind. 

Ex-mackem Colin West opened the scoring and then Mills gave United a dubious penalty that Peter Beardsley sent wide. Gazza then hit a curling shot past Tony Coton in the Hornets goal with three minutes left. 

George Reilly headed home in the last minute but Mills ruled he had pushed his way to the ball and the goal didn't stand. Cue the final whistle and another round of booing for the man in black.

1988 Former United favourite Bobby Moncur was confirmed as boss of Hartlepool, having been caretaker manager.

This defeat at the County Ground marked a debut for Alan Thompson, as substitute. 

Once future Magpies coach Colin Calderwood had netted the result was never in doubt, and Gavin Peacock hit an undeserved consolation in the last minute, immediately after Town had gone two up. 

Heavy-handed policing broke up a conga on the away terrace as the travelling contingent organised entertainment to compensate for the lack of any from the players.

1998 In an address to the Oxford Union, Newcastle's John Barnes spoke about his hope to become a top-class manager following his imminent retirement as a player. However, he made no reference to becoming a fifth-rate TV anchorman....  

2003 Another entry for the Sir Bobby Robson quotes book: in the aftermath of a home game against Aston Villa the previous day, the then-Newcastle boss commented:

"We've just lost a match we should have just won, but there's nothing wrong with our football, nothing wrong with our enthusiasm, nothing wrong with our commitment, we're just missing chances."

The final score? 1-1.

Luque(37)

In the midst of a shocking season, the biggest shock of all came in Sicily when an under strength United beat the Serie A joint leaders on their own ground.

Albert Luque scored the goal, but the hero was undoubtedly 18-year old debutant keeper Tim Krul, who made several outstanding saves to keep a memorable clean sheet.

Although the Italians missed a few decent chances, another makeshift defence shut out the free-scoring hosts to make qualification from the group stages a near certainty.

The goal was a memorable header for our Spanish flop but in truth, the quality of the cross from James Milner was such that even Luque couldn't miss.

Andy Carroll made his first team bow as a 90th minute replacement for Nobby Solano.

Alan Pardew's side then sealed only for their second home win in five attempts when Loic Remy fired home his sixth goal in as many appearances.

After an unexpected win at Spurs, Newcastle returned to the capital to register a second away success.

Defensive pair Ciaran Clark and Federico Fernandez headed them into a deserved two-goal lead and Jonjo Shelvey's free kick looked to have wrapped up victory.

However, late goals from Fabien Balbuena and Robert Snodgrass made for a nervous finale, Magpie substitute Andy Carroll facing his old team as an extra defender.
