Weakened by the exertions of a fine 3-1 victory at Manchester City the previous day, Newcastle won again - but only thanks to a large slice of good fortune. 

Colin Veitch saw his 18th minute penalty saved but atoned within five minutes.

England international forward Fred Blackburn then levelled and the game looked destined for a draw until referee AJ Barker deflected a pass from Jim Howie into the path of Ronald Orr, who netted into an open goal. 

Rovers played the second half with ten men after Adam Bowman broke a cheek bone in a collision with Tom Wills; also losing Jack Dewhurst, who limped off after the winner.

An insignificant scoreline, but one which saw inside forward John King keep a clean sheet after playing in goal for the whole 90 minutes. This followed an injury sustained by 'keeper Bill Mellor before kick-off.

A poor game was settled in the closing seconds of a play, "when the people were trooping away from the field" as The Athletic News reporter noted.

Derby's fifth win of the season would be their last and they were relegated alongside Bradford Park Avenue.

The Toffees went ahead when Wilf Chadwick shot past Sandy Mutch after Everton had twice hit the crossbar in the same move.

Willie Gibson then levelled from a free kick before Neil Harris gave United the lead. Visiting goalkeeper Alfie Harland was knocked out as he punched away Stan Seymour's header, colliding with him as Harris netted.

He was replaced by David Raitt for the last few minutes of the first half but recovered to return between the posts after half time.

However, the goalkeeper failed to cut out a long cross-shot from Seymour that was deflected into the net to seal United's first league win in four games.

Despite being without Hughie Gallacher due to international selection, league leaders United returned to winning ways after a 2-4 loss at West Bromwich Albion in their previous game.

1928 Gallacher drew a blank as his Scotland side were beaten 1-2 in front of over 111,000 spectators at Hampden Park.

The visitors were captained by Burnley's Jack Hill, who had joined Newcastle within six months.

Deprived of Hughie Gallacher due to injury, United were still able to avenge a 0-3 loss to the Gunners on Tyneside.

Ahead through Thomas Lang's close range finish, Newcastle conceded just seconds after the interval when David Jack headed past goalkeeper Mick Burns.

39 year-old Andy Cunningham netted then the second and final goal of his Magpies career to give the visitors a fifth Highbury victory in ten post WW1 visits.

Newcastle gave a debut to Gateshead goalkeeper George Wood and despite conceding three times, he was almost immediately secured on a professional contract at Gallowgate.

Having previously guested for United, Johnny Spuhler netted for his parent club. Within six months however, he'd made a permanent switch to Middlesbrough.

United stayed second in the table as Jackie Milburn eclipsed his England colleagues Stanley Matthews and Stan Mortensen with a well-taken brace.

However, any faint hopes of overhauling champions-elect Portsmouth ended when Pompey scored five goals without reply at Gallowgate four days later.

Magpies boss George Martin was absent, scouting an unidentified transfer target at the Lincoln City versus Blackburn Rovers game.

After a 0-0 draw five days earlier at Hillsborough, the teams met again at another neutral ground, this time Elland Road, Leeds.

With just minutes to play and a second replay looming, Newcastle were awarded a penalty following handball in the box. 

With the nominated spot kick taker Jackie Milburn injured and nobody else willing to take responsibility, Bobby Mitchell grabbed the ball, spotted it and converted the winner.

Danish-born winger Benny Arentoft made his United debut at White Hart Lane, following a transfer from Scottish side Greenock Morton.

A point from this rearranged Wednesday night game lifted Bill McGarry's side into fourth spot - but had they defended a 92nd minute corner more effectively then third place was theirs.

Sadly Steve Hardwick could only punch the ball out to Tristan Benjamin, who lobbed it straight back over his head to steal a point for the "other" Magpies.

Talk of promotion remained fanciful after this win, but four more victories in their next five games would put United on the fringe of the race.

1985 A 2-0 win over Birmingham City in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup semi-final put United in the driving seat. 

Inspiration at St.Andrew's came from Paul Gascoigne and the goals from Joe Allon and Paul Stephenson - a resounding 5-2 victory in the second leg at SJP confirming our place in the final.

Having been on the wrong end of a 0-4 away loss five months earlier, revenge was sweet for United, young striker Michael O'Neill going one better than the brace he'd bagged at SJP against Coventry City a week earlier.

The Hatters had extracted the urine down at Kenilworth Road and Toon midfielder Kenny Wharton repaid them in kind here.

"Kenny, Kenny sit on the ball" sang home fans and he did just that - much to the annoyance of the Hatters, particularly headband-wearing nugget Steve Foster. Happy days.

Newcastle's season imploded in an unbelievable 20 minute spell at St. James' Park in the second half of this game.

Not only did the wheels come off but the doors and the roof were also forcibly removed as three home players were red-carded, with Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer disgracefully grappling with each other in the middle of the pitch, continuing to clash in the tunnel.

United fell behind early on when Juan Pablo Angel put the visitors ahead with a low drive after some sloppy work from Jermaine Jenas.

Darius Vassell ran through on goal and his shot was saved by Steven Taylor's hand, although the defender deserved an Oscar for clutching his face in mock injury. 

Gareth Barry fired a fierce penalty past Shay Given and it was soon 0-3 when clueless whistler Barry Knight judged that Stephen Carr had fouled Vassell, Barry registering his second and Villa's third again from the spot.

Then came the Dyer and Bowyer spat that defied belief. By the time Nobby Solano appeared as a late Villa sub, home fans had either flounced out in disgust or were too numb to acknowledge the Peruvian.

2006 Comments from Chairman Freddy Shepherd as reported by the Sunday Mirror:

"Our aim is to have the new management structure in place before the last ball of the season is kicked.

"We don't want to have uncertainty lingering on through the close season and we want supporters and players to finish the season knowing who will be in charge next August.

"We have had a host of top names declaring their interest but we have kept them secret. When the time is right - and that isn't too far away - we will name the man to lead us into the future."

And that man...? Glenn Roeder. Another big decision Freddy got completely wrong.

2009 "We will give it a right good go" were the words of newly-installed Newcastle boss Alan Shearer at his press conference, having taken over for the remaining eight games of the season, assisted by Iain Dowie.

Shearer was introduced to the media before going outside to greet fans mustered in front of Old Milburn reception.

Somewhat prophetically he commented: "All I'm interested in is eight games and eight games only." He was to get his wish....

It wasn't as comfortable as it should have been but Mick Mcmackem's side left SJP with their tails between their legs after a sound beating.

Goals from Kevin Nolan and Shola Ameobi gave United a two-goal cushion at half-time and when Peter Lovenkrands made it 3-0 just after the break it looked to be game over.

After Sylvan Ebanks-Blake had reduced the arrears though, the jitters set in until Jonas Gutierrez belatedly struck in added time.

Two equalisers from substitute Aleksandar Mitrovic failed to stop United tumbling to an eighth successive away defeat after added-time agony. 

It was a tale of two handballs at Carrow Road: one decision in our favour, allowing Mitrovic to make it 2-2 from the spot before City similarly profited from the use of a hand to win it in added time.

2018 Premier League basement side West Bromwich Albion sacked Manager Alan Pardew and his assistant John Carver after just four months in charge.

Under Pardew's guidance, the Baggies won just once in 18 games, taking only eight points from a possible 54.

2022 Newcastle U18s won their league first game of 2022, James Huntley on target in a 1-0 home over Derby County.

Victory combined with results elsewhere lifted Peter Ramage's side off the bottom of the table.
