Newcastle ended their post-season tour of Ireland having already played Linfield, Ballymena and Shelbourne.

They lost their 100% record at the fourth time of asking, but were hampered by an injury to goalkeeper Jack Fairbrother that forced him off the field for 20 minutes - during which time Cork scored past stand-in custodian Bobby Cowell.

Fellow Magpie Eric Garbutt then took a turn between the posts before Fairbrother was able to continue.

Cork fielded several guest players including representatives from West Ham and Everton.

After a succession of away losses at Wrexham, Sheffield Wednesday, Luton Town and Blackburn Rovers had ended a late promotion push, United rounded off their season with victory at Selhurst Park to finish ninth.

Central defensive duo David Barton and Bruce Halliday made what proved to be their final first team appearances for the club.

1995 Newcastle Reserves regained the Northumberland Senior Cup at St.James' Park, beating holders Blyth Spartans 6-2.

Mike Jeffrey and Paul Brayson both hit braces, while Stuart Elliott and Malcolm Allen grabbed one apiece.

2001 former Magpie Andy Hunt announced his retirement from football at the age of just 30 suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

He did attempt a comeback with the same club (Charlton Athletic) in 2003, but bowed to the inevitable after a handful of reserve games.

After a nerve-jangling finale the season ended positively with this vital away point.

In blazing sunshine at Anfield, we took the lead and held on after conceding to claim fifth place in the table and a UEFA Cup spot.

However, credit is due to Reds boss Gerard Houllier - in his final game - for seemingly standing his side down in the dying moments to ensure that the game ended in a draw.

Aston Villa were our nearest rivals for that position, but lost at home to nine-man Manchester United.

When future Mag Geremi  
put through his own goal 12 minutes before the break, United's scoreless run at SJP was finally ended after 323 minutes.

However, within 90 seconds the visitors were level, Frank Lampard netting a penalty after former Blue, Celestine Babayaro illegally impeded Eidur Gudjohnsen.

At full time, Newcastle fans were treated to the sight of Laurent Robert in his briefs having thrown the rest of his kit into the crowd. It was to be the last we saw of the Frenchman before leaving for Portsmouth.

Half-time hero for this match was a certain Glenn Roeder - 12 months on he was confirmed as permanent manager of Newcastle but a year later he had gone.

2006 Glenn Roeder was made permanent manager after three successful months as caretaker, securing 7th in the Premiership. Freddy Shepherd said of the appointment:

"In the end results are the most important thing in football and Glenn Roeder certainly did that for us. In fact managers stand and fall by results and you could say Glenn won the job.

"Glenn has done the job with dignity and decorum. He now has a two year contract and both of us are happy at that. I must say that Glenn Roeder was our captain and a great servant as a player and he has a great feel for this football club."

2007 Freddy Shepherd got his man with confirmation that Sam Allardyce would replace Glenn Roeder as Newcastle manager.

"There's a Mike someone on the phone,
saying don't unpack your bags...."

Steven Taylor's added time header gave United a deserved point in their final away game of the season - and something for the travelling fans charged £50 to celebrate. 

Alan Pardew's makeshift side - with Shane Ferguson and Ryan Taylor in midfield - twice came from behind in a physical contest while Sammy Ameobi made his first team debut as a second half substitute.

His arrival alongside elder brother Shola also meant that the Magpies had siblings playing in the same competitive game for the first time since the Robledos in 1952.

Relegated without kicking a ball in midweek, ten man United produced a performance and a scoreline that defied belief as they trounced the title-challengers

Three of the goals came after Aleksandar Mitrovic's dismissal and there should have been more, Andros Townsend hitting a post and Moussa Sissoko missed two sitters.

Rafa Benitez was left in absolutely no doubt about how much fans wanted him to stay on, with his name chanted for the duration of the match and at the final whistle as he joined the players in the centre circle.

He later admitted that show of affection influenced his decision to manage in the Championship for the very first time.

Newcastle's hopes of securing a second successive season of European football receded after a narrow defeat at Old Trafford saw them drop down into seventh.

Ahead at the break, Anthony Gordon soon levelled and the Magpies then missed a succession of chances while the hosts converted both of their opportunities.

Lewis Hall netted in added time as he had done in the Carabao Cup victory earlier in the season, but his side were unable to scramble an equaliser in the final seconds.
