1921 There was a strong United presence at Aberdeen's Pittodrie in a benefit match for long-serving Don, Arthur Robertson.

Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Sandy Mutch (who would become a Magpie in 1922) named an English Select XI including no less than six black and whites: messrs Aitken, Curry, Hampson, Low, Macdonald and McCracken.

The match against an Aberdeen select attracted 10,000 spectators ended in a 2-2 draw with Wilf Low among the scorers.

United ended their home programme in front of the smallest SJP crowd of the season - hardly surprising as this was their fifth home game in ten days.

Stan Keery replaced Jackie Milburn in the forward line, while Alf McMichael continued in an unfamiliar left wing role. There was also a rare outing for Alan Monkhouse.

Just weeks before ex-Magpie Joe Harvey relinquished the role of Barrow boss, his old club visited Holker Street.

The occasion was a joint testimonial match for Peter Wilson and Jack Keen and Jackie Milburn entertained those present with what would be his last goals in a Newcastle shirt before concluding a transfer to Linfield.

Team: Mitchell, Tate, Hughes, Davies, Milburn, Redhead, Paterson, Franks, Batty, Whitehead, Harker.

A difficult day at Millmoor, as United's fading hopes of promotion were ended by the Millers.

With Ron McGarry joining fellow striker Barrie Thomas on the sidelines, John McGrath was handed the number nine shirt for a second time and scored his only goal of the season.

Two years before his transfer to Newcastle, Albert Bennett featured for the Millers while Rotherham's third goal was a shot by Jimmy Blain that deflected in off Jim Iley.

The low attendance was due in part to the inclement weather and also the staging of an FA Cup Semi-Final between Liverpool and Leicester City at nearby Hillsborough that attracted a crowd of 65,000.

After successive defeats at West Brom and Fulham, United had apparently blown their chances of European qualification as they surrendered a 26 game unbeaten home run. 

Spurs' second goal came from a massive kick from goalkeeper Pat Jennings that Martin Chivers forced in after one bounce.

Magpies boss Joe Harvey wasn't present, having elected to watch the Middlesbrough versus Derby County game to scout Rams prospect Kevin Hector.

With time running out and only a slender lead, Peter Beardsley and Chris Waddle frustrated the Saints with a passing move down the wing, to the delight of the crowd. 

After the final whistle though, an irate Jack Charlton gave the duo a very public dressing down on the pitch for not hoofing the ball out of play when they had the chance.

The episode was later blamed as a factor in the subsequent departure of both players in search of pastures new - and trophies.

Andy Peake scored the winner in what was to be Charlton's penultimate game at their temporary home of Selhurst Park. The following season saw them at Upton Park before a 1992 Valley return. 

United's five match unbeaten run was ended despite continuing the attractive style that had seen them force a 1-1 at West Ham the previous midweek. 

Steve Howey appeared as a substitute in place of Andy Hunt and was red-carded for a reckless two-footed challenge.

United ended a run of five  defeats in all competitions, kept a first clean sheet in six league games and secured the point which removed any slight chance of relegation places.

However, that was scant consolation for the crowd as a typical end-of-season affair was played out, while both Patrick Kluivert and Laurent Robert languished on the bench.

2006 Newcastle reserves completed a full season without a home defeat after a 0-0 draw with Birmingham City at Kingston Park.

We ended having won ten and drawn four of the fourteen league games at that venue - despite fielding less first team squad players than in recent seasons and having to play on the increasingly rutted pitch that also hosted the Newcastle Falcons Rugby side.

The scene was all set for a SJP finale against Pompey to rival David Kelly's fabled 1992 winner, but the 2009 Magpies proved incapable of finding a breakthrough in this pivotal midweek game.

It could have been a different story had a front trio of Obafemi Martins, Mark Viduka and Michael Owen not wasted chances.

Owen in particular missed our best opportunity when he only had the 'keeper to beat. David James blocked easily and Alan Shearer's side inched closer to oblivion.

Less than two weeks after a disastrous derby defeat, Newcastle hit rock bottom, suffering their heaviest home loss since 1925. 

0-5 down when Mathieu Debuchy looked to get himself deliberately dismissed, the margin of defeat confirmed that this was the leakiest Magpies defence in our Premier League history - with three games still remaining.

Perhaps the least interesting aspect of this memorable mauling was Anthony Gordon's first return to Goodison Park - although most of his former fans had left by the time he came off the bench.

Rather more memorable was an incredible dribble by Alexander Isak to set up the fourth goal for Jacob Murphy - a slight deflection off a defender meaning that the Swede tragically didn't even register an assist.
