A memorable score to mark the debut of a Newcastle legend - Frank Hudspeth. In nearly twenty years at United he was to make no fewer than 472 senior appearances. 

The game was also a benefit match for inside -forward Sandy (Alexander) Higgins, who even scored from the spot - presumably not prearranged on this occasion.

The visitors were beaten for the first time in 15 games but Magpies boss Andy Cunningham wasn't there to see it, having travelled to Scotland to be at his father's bedside for his final hours.

1932 Newcastle Reserves were also over the border, playing a friendly match in Stirling against the Kings Park club.

The Magpies ran out 2-1 winners thanks to goals from James Boyd and Joe Ford, 2,500 attended.

Two late Asprilla goals sent United through to the next round and he celebrated in original style, by uprooting the corner flag and hoisting his shirt from it. 

The unimpressed referee promptly booked him which meant he was suspended for the next round against Monaco.

Tino then contrived to injure himself and was withdrawn on a stretcher to thunderous applause, which he milked as he made slow progress around the perimeter of the pitch.

1996 The Cat crept in, as United revealed that their new goalkeeping coach was to be former Chelsea stopper Peter Bonetti.

2001 United's FA Youth Cup campaign was over before it had begun as the promising U18 side disappointingly lost 2-1 at Norwich City.

On a night when little went right in front of goal, Lewis Guy eventually got on the scoresheet on 97 minutes at Carrow Road.

2003 A scrambled goal from Danny Howe gave the U18 side an FA Youth Cup Fourth Round place, after a victory on the South coast at Portsmouth's Fratton Park.

Howe netted from close range after Matty Pattison had given United a first half lead, cancelled out by Liam Horsted's leveller.

This was the first meeting of the two sides in the Youth Cup since the successful 1961/62 campaign when the Magpies also won 1-0 in Hampshire at the semi-final stage.

After an appalling midweek Carling Cup defeat at Wigan, only a bungled late penalty by Villa's Gareth Barry kept Magpies boss Graeme Souness in a job. 

Had that 88th minute spot kick been converted, then calls for the manager's head would have been hard to resist.

Meanwhile, Alan Shearer closed in on the all-time club goalscoring record, with his penalty taking him on to 198 strikes.

2006 The draw for the FA Cup Third Round gave us an away trip to Championship league leaders Birmingham City, ensuring that those lucky travelling Toon fans wouldn't miss out on a trip to St.Andrews that season - despite the Magpies having relegated Steve Bruce's side the previous April.

2009 Asked about the club's transfer plans - and in particular Sol Campbell - United boss Chris Hughton commented that:

"Sol is a wonderful player and I’m quite sure come January he’ll be playing his football somewhere. We’re not prepared to rule it out, because he’s a player who would be available."

However, the player himself also spoke, to say that:

"I have a few clubs tabling offers at the moment, but one of them doesn’t seem to be Newcastle now.”

The late Gary Speed was given a dignified tribute on and off the pitch at an emotionally charged SJP.

However, referee Mike Dean soon took centre stage, failing to show David Luiz what was an indisputable red card after just four minutes.

That decision ultimately cost United, despite Tim Krul's early penalty save from Frank Lampard raising hopes that it was our day. 

Injuries to Fabricio Coloccini and Steven Taylor also contributed to the loss and the woodwork played a part in Newcastle's unbeaten home record ending at the seventh time of asking.

Ba(13pen,21), Bigirimana(71)

United ended a run of four defeats thanks to Demba Ba's double and Gael Bigirimana's first senior goal. 

A crucial decision went in United's favour, as Papiss Cisse was sent tumbling in the box by Maynor Figueroa and was red-carded before Ba tucked away the resultant penalty.

One became two when Davide Santon's shot was pushed out by Ali Al Habsi to Ba who knocked in the rebound. Substitute Bigi then sealed the win with a memorable strike.
