Daniel Pattinson was an outside left who took his only chance well, with a goal on his debut. However, he returned to the reserve team without ever being called upon again.

Victory left United third, six points behind the mackems who topped the table having played one game fewer.

In amongst the excitement of their FA Cup campaign, Newcastle recovered from being 0-2 down to claim their first point in four league games.

That game had a 3pm kick-off and at 7pm it was the turn of the Wolves and Newcastle junior sides to play under the Molineux lights, in the second leg of the Northern Intermediate League Cup Final.

2-0 ahead from the first leg at SJP, United trailed 1-3 after the opening 32 minutes.

With no further scoring despite extra time though, the Final ended in a 3-3 draw on aggregate. The trophy was shared, each club holding it for six months.

Former mackem favourite Billy Bingham netted twice but ended up on the losing side as the Magpies won for the fifth time in six games.

The winner was struck by George Eastham after some individual skill from Bobby Mitchell created the opportunity. 

1966 Chelsea (h)

Barrowclough(72)
Cunningham(46)
23,780
Laurie Cunningham put Albion ahead 30 seconds into the second half when Mick Mahoney was slow off his line to reach a cross from Bryan Robson.

Mahoney made a series of stops to keep the Baggies at bay though and Stewart Barrowclough's fine finish ensured a point.

The scorer said afterwards, "I was going to lob the 'keeper at first but saw him going back towards his line and just wellied it."

Donovan(83)

Newcastle's hopes of promotion faded as their six game unbeaten league run came to an end at Turf Moor.

The Clarets were en route to relegation but won it when a header by debutant Terry Donovan was helped in by Kevin Carr.

Victory at The Manor Ground on a Wednesday night saw Newcastle win five successive top-flight games for the first time since 1948.

Former Magpie John Trewick appeared for the hosts, while on-loan goalkeeper Dave McKellar was in good form for the visitors.

P30, 38pts, 13th/21
Goddard(77) 
Groves(29)
25,889 
Paul Gascoigne struck a first half penalty wide of the target after Darren Jackson was bundled over in the box.

And when a Perry Groves header was deemed to have crossed the line it looked like a blank afternoon at Highbury - in stark contrast to the previous season's 1-0 win.

However a fine second half strike from Paul Goddard levelled the scores before Michael O'Neill missed a golden chance to win it.

Gateshead-born midfielder and future Magpies coach Steve Stone scored for the third time against his boyhood favourites to deny Newcastle a record-breaking ninth win in a row.

After a dispiriting defeat at Old Trafford the previous Sunday, United were two behind and in need of a lift as half time approached. 

Shola Ameobi then headed in a Scott Parker centre to give Glenn Roeder's side some hope, before Jean-Alain Boumsong then contrived to spurn a great chance to head United level.

Any hopes of a second half revival were extinguished though, when the same player conceded a penalty and saw red after clumsily upending Peter Crouch.

That took our sending off tally for the season to six, match referee Mike Riley having waved three of those red cards.

2007 A 1-3 defeat at Anfield in the Second Leg of the FA Youth Cup Semi Final meant aggregate 3-7 loss.

Robert Cavener gave United some hope with the opener, but after Astrit Ajdarevic was dismissed for Liverpool for an assault on Andy Carroll, Kazenga LuaLua's red card for dissent made it ten-a-side.

A lazy display from Alan Pardew's Magpies was suitably punished at the Britannia Stadium.

A baffling 3-5-2 system left Sol Campbell way out of his depth and when Jose Enrique limped off early on, Shane Ferguson filled in. By the time Gutierrez replaced Campbell and United went 4-4-2, they were three down.

2014 Dan Gosling was fined £30K by an FA disciplinary body after he admitted breaching rules on football betting.

According to his family, the player placed wagers with an online bookie to combat boredom while recuperating from a knee injury on Tyneside.

2020 The FA and Premier League announced that there would be no resumption of the 2019/20 season until April 30th at earliest, as COVID cases started to escalate.

2021 Owen Bailey's 90th minute goal was enough to give Newcastle U21s all three PL2 points from their visit to Norwich City.

The defender took just three minutes of his comeback after 18 months out to due injury by scoring the only goal behind closed doors at City's training ground.
