Champions League:
Thunderstruck
Newcastle 1 Barcelona 2
As he had done at Wembley two years earlier - and not for the first
time at the Leazes End of St.J ames' Park - Marcus Rashford broke
Geordie hearts on Thursday evening.
Banished from Old Trafford, the England international twice served
up precision finishes within ten second half minutes to get off the
mark in style for his latest club.
Heading in on 58 minutes, Rashford's stunning shot nine minutes
later looked to have ended the game as a contest until Anthony
Gordon halved the deficit in the closing seconds of normal time with
his first European goal.
Gordon began the night leading a front three with Anthony Elanga on
the right and Harvey Barnes on the left, but had moved out to the
left by the time he met Jacob Murphy's low centre and clipped the
ball home from 12 yards.
Last season's Champions League semi-finalists withstood early
pressure on and off the field; every tackle and block from a home
player greeted with roars from the stands.
However the nearest that United came to scoring during that period
was a tempting cross from Elanga that Barnes reached but could only
ping off 'keeper Joan Garcia.
The visitors began to dominate possession more and more before half
time and continued after the interval without creating clear scoring
chances until Rashford's brace.
Attempting to find a way back into the tie after falling behind,
Eddie Howe made a quartet of replacements that brought Nick
Woltemade on at centre forward - Fabian Schar also coming off after
being struck in the face.
That saw Malick Thiaw appear for only his second outing as a Magpie
and the defender instantly looked at home with timely touches at
both ends of the field.
Rashford's superb second goal looked decisive and the Magpies
continued to struggle getting hold of the ball; the time they spent
out of possession leading to a lack of composure when belatedly
regaining it.
There's no disgrace in defeat to such prestigious opposition and the
nature of this competition means that the result wasn't
catastrophic, but on a night when United needed to make the most of
whatever chances came their way, their current issues with creating
and scoring goals were evident.
Gordon's strike will hopefully boost his confidence, but the injury
to Yoane Wissa puts pressure on the rest of the side to compensate
for his absence. It's not quite happened yet.
Team:
Pope, Trippier (Botman 76), Livramento, Schar (Thiaw 63), Burn,
Joelinton (Willock 62), Guimaraes, Tonali, Gordon, Barnes (Woltemade
62), Elanga (J.Murphy 63).
Subs n/u: Ramsdale, M.Thompson, Hall, Krafth, L.Miley,
A.Murphy, Osula.
Booked: Joelinton, Burn.
Goal: Gordon 90.
FCB: Joan Garcia, Kounde, Martin (Garcia 81), Araujo, Cubarsi
(Torres 69), de Jong, Pedri, Raphinha, Lopez (Casado 90+3), Rashford,
Lewandowski (Christensen 70).
Subs n/u: Bardghji, Bernal, Fernandez, Kochen, Olmo, Szczensy,
Torrents.
Booked: Martin, Lopez, de Jong.
Goals: Rashford 58, 67.
Crowd:
52,084 including just 800 travelling supporters.
Former Magpies present included Tino Asprilla, John Beresford,
Olivier Bernard, Shay Given and Steve Howey.
Rafa Benitez was also there, on punditry duties.
Flanked by banners displaying the words "Newcastle United"
"Back in Black & White", Wor Flags produced their first
display featuring ropes and pulleys, unfurled with AC/DC blaring out
of the SJP PA.
Volunteers meanwhile spent many hours laying out individual flags
across the East Stand, Gallowgate End and Leazes End, spelling out
the letters NUFC. Absolutely superb.
Eddie Howe said:
"Yeah, disappointed. I think we were really in the game. We were
never out of it.
"The chances were there in that first half but against teams
like this there's never too many - and that's what's going to
happen.
"We kept going till the end - one goal was always going to
change the mood. They managed the extra time really well. we were
desperate for the ball and we couldn't get it off them.
"It was a whole-hearted, gutsy display from us - we just
lacked the quality at the end of it.
"We wanted to create a difficult environment with high-octane
football. I think it was there. We didn't get the bounce of the ball
off the presses.
"The chances were there in the first half. Against teams like
this you won't get many. We got punished.
"A lot of commitment, a lot of heart from the players. I
thought it was a good performance without being a great one and, to
beat Barcelona, it needs to be a great one.
"We had the chances. Two big moments in the first half that we
didn't take and, ultimately, when you concede the first goal, the
game swings on that moment.
"There was no lacking in terms of heart and courage. We can be
critical of a couple of things we could have done better but,
ultimately, we will analyse it, try and improve and try and grow
from this experience."
On starting with Nick Woltemade on the bench:
"I can't live in that world, I have to make decisions for the
benefit of the player sometimes.
"It was a really difficult one for Nick, of course any player
would want to start every game but I have to try to manage him into
the team.
And make sure he stays fit and that was always at the heart of
this decision. Knowing that we have Anthony (Gordon)
suspended for the next game as well.
"It is the same for Jacob Murphy as well, he is nursing an
achilles problem and we just want to keep the majority of the squad
as fit and healthy for as long as possible."
On Fabian Schar's fitness:
"I’ve got no more information right no. I’m in the hands of the
doctors. The only message I had was that he was okay to continue,
then it became clear that he couldn’t.”
On the Barcelona goals:
"We can do better with both. On the first one, it was
disappointing he was allowed the cross. The second one was an
unbelievable finish.
"When the dust settles we'll look back differently. These
nights are only magical if you win and we failed on that objective -
we'll learn from nights like this."
On Sunday's game at Bournemouth:
"The process is the same. I don’t think there are massive new
learnings. The biggest issue is psychological rather than physical —
the high of tonight, the emotion, and then having to go again in a
tough away league game.
"That’s the challenge - every European team faces it, and that’s why
these campaigns are harder than just Premier League football. This
will be our first test of that this season, and hopefully we can
rise to it.”

2025/26:
Bournemouth (a)
The Magpies return to Premier League action at the Vitality Stadium
on Sunday.
It's a 2pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.
Team: Anthony Gordon serves the third and final game of his domestic ban while Jacob
Ramsey and Yoane Wissa remain sidelined through injury. Both are
pencilled in for returns when United visit Brighton on October 18th.
Following his replacement against Barcelona, it's expected that
Fabian Schar will miss this game and the visits of Bradford City and
Arsenal due to concussion
protocols.
There's also a doubt over Kieran Trippier after he limped off during
Thursday's Champions League defeat.
AFCB:
Enes Ünal and Adam Smith are out but Ryan Christie and Bafode Diakite
are expected to be in the squad.
The Cherries have won three of their four PL games so far
this season, losing the other. Maximum points came from home wins
over Wolves and Brighton, with another success at Spurs and defeat
to Liverpool at Anfield.
While Newcastle had the not insubstantial matter of a Champions
League tie against Barcelona on Thursday, Andoni Iraola's side
enjoyed
a free week as a consequence of their Carabao Cup Second Round
defeat by
Brentford.
Referee:
Robert Jones - first appointment of the season involving Newcastle
for the Merseyside whistler, last seen taking charge of our 3-0 win
at Leicester City in April.

CL round-up
Here's how our Champions League opponents fared in the first week
of the competition:
Union SG hit the ground running on Tuesday, securing a 3-1 victory at
PSV Eindhoven in their very first Champions League fixture. The
Belgians were captained by former Hartlepool United defender Christian
Burgess.
A 3-2 away win for Qarabag against Benfica on Tuesday prompted the
Lisbon side to dismiss coach Bruno Lage - paving the way for Jose Mourinho's
return to the real Stadium of Light - and a trip to Tyneside next month.
Athletic Bilbao meanwhile began their League Stage participation with
a 0-2 home defeat to Arsenal, while Marseille lost by the odd goal in
three at Real Madrid.
Reigning champions
PSG defeated Atalanta 4-0 on Wednesday, with Bayer Leverkusen
sharing four goals on
Thursday with Copenhagen. The Bundesliga side replaced coach Erik
ten Hag with Kasper Hjulmand in recent days.
Moving on to the U19 competition that mirrors the senior fixtures, of the
sides that Newcastle will face after Barcelona, Benfica won 7-1, Bilbao won
3-1, Union lost 2-6 and Marseille lost 2-3. Leverkusen play on Thursday.
PS: Ex-Magpie Lloyd Kelly was an unlikely goalscoring hero for
Juventus on Tuesday, heading home in second half added time to secure a 4-4
draw with Borussia Dortmund.
The defender had also netted in Saturday's 4-3 victory over Inter Milan in
Serie A, his first goals for the club.

U19s narrow defeat
Newcastle U19s 2 Barcelona U19s 3
Newcastle's U19 side began their UEFA U19 Youth League fixtures on Thursday
afternoon with
the toughest possible test - that of facing defending champions Barcelona.
And after conceding three times in the first half, the youngsters fought
back with two goals of their own and came close to levelling in added time.
The visitors took the lead in the 24th minute when a low centre from the
left side of the box by Oscar Gistau was knocked in by Xavi Espart.
Magpies 'keeper George Mair made a good parry to deny Gistau in the 36th
minute but Barca extended their lead a minute before the break when Gistau
was left unattended and scooped a first time shot home.
That soon became 0-3 in the third minute of first half added time as Gistau
got his second when he sent a poor clearance back over the head of Mair from
30 yards out.
The young Magpies got one back six minutes into the second period when they
were awarded a free-kick just outside the box and it was played short to
Leo Shahar who finished well.
United pulled another goal back in the 81st minute when substitute Kacey
Wooster burst into the box and netted with a low effort.
The comeback was almost complete in the fourth and final minute of added time but Sean Neave headed wide.
Team: Mair, Bailey, Charlton, Fitzgerald (Waddani 69), Munda (Seung-soo
69), Brayson (Alabi 52), Shahar,
Neave, Watts (Epia 59), Johnson, Finneran (Wooster 69).

The new system is 24/24/48: 24
hours for any ST holders to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
purchase.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Tickets unclaimed by successful applicants within 48 hours are then offered
to those unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total.
NUFC contact those applicants directly.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are
gone.
2025/26 PL away tickets remain at £30.
2025/26 CL away tickets
will be €50 or less.

On This Day in History |

19th September |

Born Or Died:
1919 Arnold
Grundy born, Whickham.
(1936-44)
Left half who joined Newcastle in 1933 as 14 year old,
working in the club offices for two years and playing for Dunston CWS until
signing professional terms.
An injury to Bill Imrie saw Arnold make his senior debut for United aged 17 in
the 2-0 home win over Bradford City that concluded the 1936/37 season.
A 4-1 loss at Luton Town 12
months later was to be Grundy's second and final first team appearance.
The outbreak of World War II saw a move to Brighton and Hove Albion break down but
by November 1939 he was playing over the River Tyne for Gateshead.
Guesting for Fulham, Liverpool, Tranmere Rovers and Southport in the War
Leagues, Arnold later played for Leyton Orient, Lincoln City (trial), Chingford,
Wisbech Town, Bury Town and Newmarket Town.
He later took charge of Eastern Counties League Newmarket with fellow SJP old
boy Eddie Connelly.
1920 Ronald Sales born, South Shields.
(1942-47)
Defender who played for Westoe Boys, Shields Infirmary, South
Shields Boys and Reyrolle's before joining Newcastle United.
Appearing in war time games and also at reserve level, Ronnie was
transferred to Leyton Orient in 1947, remaining at Brisbane Road for two
years.
Beset by injury, a brief switch to Colchester United saw Sales play just
once before returning to the North East with Hartlepools United in August
1950.
Fitness issues also limited his availability and caused him to retire as
professional, playing on with South Shields.
His death was recorded during August 1995.
1939 Brian Wright born, Sunderland.
(1956-63)
Defender/midfielder who was drafted into the first team after
coming through academy and reserve ranks, making his senior bow in a 3-0 defeat
at Nottingham Forest in April 1960.
An occasional starter in the first team under Charlie Mitten as United were
relegated in 1961, Brian featured more often under Norman Smith
the following season in Division Two.
However his days were numbered when Joe Harvey became manager in 1962,
departing at the end of that season just before Ollie Burton arrived from
Norwich.
Brian went on to become a regular with Peterborough United, playing over 300
games returning to his hometown with Posh in 1967 in a 1-7 FA Cup loss at Roker Park.
Leaving London Road in 1972, he ended his playing career at Scarborough, before
returning to live on his native wearside.
1944 Eric Ross
born, Belfast, Northern Ireland. (1967-69)
A bespectacled left-sided midfielder (who later wore contact
lenses on the field), Eric joined United for £5,250 from Glentoran in 1967,
having spent that summer in the USA playing for Detroit Cougars.
Coming to prominence as part of the Glens squad who drew 1-1
and 0-0 with a Benfica side including Eusebio in the European
Cup, Ross joined a Northern Ireland enclave at United, including Iam
McFaul, David Craig and John Cowan.
Like the latter though, he was a rare starter at first team level and after
debuting in a League Cup defeat at Lincoln, made just one league start in his
first season, at Fulham.
The following campaign was little better, as he lost his place in the side
after an opening day draw at home to West Ham, making a fourth and final senior
appearance in the League Cup, against Southampton.
Without a win in his four first team outings, Eric became a reserve team
regular and was capped at full international level by Northern
Ireland in September 1968 against Israel.
However he does appear in the official club photograph of the 1968/69 Fairs Cup
team, despite playing no part in that campaign - dragged in to the shot
by Joe Harvey as the back row looked uneven....
A £15,000 move to Northampton Town in October 1969 followed and Ross was part
of the Cobblers side humbled 2-8 in an FA Cup tie by Manchester United; fellow Belfast boy George Best
scoring six times.
A loan spell at Hartlepool United was followed by a stint playing in Canada
and Eric returned to the region in 1976 to play for local amateur side North
Shields.
Emigrating to Canada, Ross later settled in Vancouver and became an estate
agent.
1962 Gary Brazil
born, Tunbridge Wells.
(1989-90)
Forward who began his playing career as an apprentice at
Crystal Palace, moving on to Sheffield United in 1980 and then joining Preston
North End in 1986 after a loan spell with Port Vale.
Eventually establishing himself at Deepdale after being loaned out to Mansfield
Town, Gary arriving at SJP in February 1989 in a part exchange deal with Ian Bogie
and £100K heading to Deepdale.
Debuting in a 2-1 win at Coventry City, played seven times in the First
Division without scoring but struggled with injury towards the end of a season
that ended in United's relegation.
And before a ball was kicked in Division Two, Brazil fell further back in the
forward pecking order after the signings of Mark McGhee and Mick Quinn.
His ill-fated time in Toon then took another wrong turning, when a stray ball
broke his nose during a squad golfing day.
Most often deployed as a substitute at SJP, Gary opted to join Fulham after
failing to break into the first team at the start of the 1990/91 season.
That move soon became permanent and he was to enjoy six years with the
Cottagers before ending his playing days at Cambridge United, Barnet and
non-league sides Slough Town and St.Albans City.
Brazil joined Notts County in 1997, recruited by
then-Magpies boss Sam Allardyce to join the youth coaching staff.
In a seven year stint at Meadow Lane he also became manager, served as
assistant boss and finally reverted to youth coaching.
A brief stint at Doncaster Rovers in 2004 was followed by a role with the FA
before Brazil returned to Craven Cottage as Fulham's U18 Academy coach.
Leaving Fulham in 2011 to work for the Premier League in the Midlands, closer
to his Nottingham home, Gary became Youth team coach at Forest in May
2012.
Serving briefly as caretaker boss of the first team in 2014 before Stuart Pearce
was appointed, Brazil then returned to his role of Forest Academy manager.
A further interim spell in charge of Forest followed in January 2017,
after which Gary continued as Academy head until leaving in 2023 when his
contract ended.
He then joined the FA as head of men's recruitment and retention.
2024 saw his son Jack appointed U16s coach at Newcastle United.
1978
Sean Hessey born, Whiston.
(1997)
Defender released by Liverpool's
Academy in March 1997 along with Terry Burghall,
both accepting invites from Kenny Dalglish
to train with Newcastle juniors.
However, that failed to work out and a trial at Burnley
was also fruitless before spells at Leeds United and Wigan Athletic.
A senior debut came during March 1998 in the colours of Huddersfield Town
against Reading - with on-loan Magpie Steve Harper in goal for the Terriers.
Late transfers took Sean to Kilmarnock, Blackpool, Chester, Macclesfield Town
and
Accrington Stanley - scoring his firs goal for the latter in a League Cup tie
against Newcastle in August 2010.
Subsequently playing for Barrow, Prestatyn Town and
Marine, he managed the latter between 2015 and
2017.
Holding a degree in Psychotherapy & Counselling, Hessey worked as a
therapist and counsellor in the Widnes area.
1979 Death of
Monte Wilkinson,
71.
1983 Damon Robson born,
Chester-le- Street. (1999-2003)
Midfielder & England youth international who appeared at
junior and reserve team level but failed to secure a
professional contract and was released.
Playing for Bristol City in a short trial, Damon opted to remain in the North
East and began a career in the Northern League with his hometown club, Chester-le-Street.
Later moves took him to Bishop Auckland and Horden Colliery Welfare, before
making the switch to Whitley Bay in 2006.
Damon collected an FA Vase winner's medal at Wembley Stadium in 2009 after Bay
beat Glossop North End 2-0 and returned to repeat the feat 12 months later,
after an awesome 6-1 demolition of Wroxham.
Incredibly Bay made it a hat-trick of Vase successes in 2011 and Robson
captained the side as they beat Coalville Town 3-2.
He left Hillheads in 2012 and retired.
1986
Leon Best born, Nottingham.
(2010-12)
A deadline day acquisition from Coventry City in January 2010, this Republic of Ireland
international striker began his playing career with Southampton, debuting against
United at St.Mary's in September 2004.
Loan spells at QPR, Sheffield Wednesday, Bournemouth and Yeovil Town then followed
for the player who had been with Notts County as a youngster.
Leon then made the switch from the Saints to Coventry City in summer of 2007, lining
up against United in the 2009/10 season with Toon loanee Patrick Van Aanholt.
His Magpies bow came as a substitute in a 5-1 home win over Cardiff City in
February 2010 and he would feature during the rest of that promotion season
without scoring.
Netting at both Carlisle United and against PSV Eindhoven at SJP in pre-season,
an ankle injury then sidelined Leon from the opening
weeks of Newcastle’s Premier League return.
However, injuries to other strikers saw him make a number of starts; hitting a hat-trick against West Ham, one of the comeback
goals against Arsenal and strikes against Birmingham and Everton after Andy
Carroll had departed.
The 2011/12 season saw that form continue, grabbing both goals
in the win over Fulham and a vital equaliser at Villa Park. First recognised by Ireland at U21 level in March 2008, Leon made his
full international debut in a friendly against Nigeria at Craven Cottage in May
2009.
The arrival of Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse saw Best surplus
to requirements at SJP and he departed for Blackburn Rovers for a £3m fee in July 2012.
However, a ligament injury in pre-season delayed his competitive debut until March 2013.
Unable to claim a regular first team place at Ewood Park he
was loaned to Sheffield Wednesday in February 2014, later making similarly unproductive temporary
switches to Derby County
and Brighton.
Agreeing a deal with Rovers to terminate his contract 12 months early, Best
went on trial at QPR and Huddersfield Town before Rotherham
United signed him in November 2015.
Four goals helped the Millers avoid relegation but Leon found himself a free
agent again in 2016, turning up at West Bromwich Albion and
Ipswich Town and signing a one-year deal with the latter.
12 non-scoring games including a visit to SJP when
he was subbed at half-time followed before he again become a free agent in May 2017.
By then though he had other things on his mind; surgery to correct a previous
hernia problem revealing an abscess that required two operations to remove and
four days recovering in intensive care.
Recovering sufficiently to join in training with Charlton
Athletic that October, Leon signed a short-term contract but
a serious knee injury against Gillingham on New Years Day
2018 ended his playing days.
1986 Charlie Barnett born, Liverpool.
(2007)
 Midfielder
whose Newcastle career consisted of a 24 minute cameo in a pre-season home game
against Juventus during July 2007.
Former England U16 youth international Barnett had quit Liverpool after helping them to successive FA Youth Cup victories - the second
including a fine strike in a Semi-Final tie at SJP.
Appearing for United reserves against Newcastle Benfield he then made the senior squad for the Juventus game - due in part to the
unavailability of players such as Kazenga LuaLua, who were away with the junior
side at a tournament.
Barnett wasn't retained and within days was with Blackburn Rovers
reserves as a trialist before turning up at Ipswich Town.
Signing for Tranmere Rovers in summer 2008, Charlie spent two years at Prenton
Park before joining Accrington Stanley via a brief trial spell in Scotland
at Falkirk.
Facing Newcastle in the League Cup during August 2010, he
completed a century of games for Accrington before moving on
in 2014 to AFC Telford and Marine in 2016.
Retiring from playing, Charlie graduated from the University of Salford with a
Degree in Physiotherapy during 2017.
1990 Kieran Trippier born, Bury.
(2022-present)
The first senior signing
of the post-Mike Ashley era at Newcastle was confirmed in early January
2022, a £12m fee bringing the 31 year-old England international right back
in from Atletico Madrid.
An inauspicious bow in an FA Cup defeat by Cambridge United
was soon forgotten as Trippier became integral to the
success of United, with a draw and three victories in his
opening four PL outings.
Two of those included trademark free kicks, but a broken
foot sustained against Aston Villa then saw him miss 12
games.
His return to action was in a far more buoyant and effective
side - something he'd contributed to despite his
injury - credited with helping build a more
effective mindset across
the squad.
Fully fit for the following season, Trippier then further
increased his standing on Tyneside thanks to a dazzling free
kick in a 3-3 home draw with Manchester City.
A full house of 38 Premier League starts helped United
return to Champions League competition after the
disappointment of leading the side at Wembley in the League
Cup Final loss to Manchester United.
The increased demands on the Magpies squad the following season coupled with injury
issues saw a clearly frustrated Trippier argue with a fan following a Premier
League loss at Bournemouth.
Talk of off-field issues then resurfaced after United's League Cup exit at
Chelsea; Kieran at fault for a late equaliser and then missing his kick in the
shootout.
Speculation over a possible departure from SJP in the January 2024 window
proved unfounded, but a calf problem saw him miss nine games including the FA Cup Quarter Final exit at Manchester City.
Regaining fitness at the tail end of the season, further rumours of a transfer
came to nothing but he took some time to regain his right back place from Tino Livramento
- whose move to the other flank was aided by injury to
Lewis Hall.
Appearing in the Carabao Cup Final victory over
Liverpool, Trippier then joined Bruno Guimaraes and
Jamaal Lascelles for the trophy lift at Wembley Stadium.
Trippier's playing career began as a nine year old at Manchester
City's Academy although he didn't play a senior game for
them and made his senior debut on loan at Barnsley in 2010.
Following a second spell
at Oakwelll, 2011 saw Trippier loaned to Championship side Burnley
- then managed by Eddie Howe.
Making a permanent move to Turf Moor, he helped the Clarets
win promotion to the Premier League in 2014, making a £3.5m
switch to Spurs the following year.
123 appearances for the Cockerels followed, ending in a 0-1 loss to Liverpool in the 2019 Champions
League Final at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid.
And within weeks that was his new home, following a £20m
transfer to Atletico.
Internationally, Kieran's first call-up came for England U18s in
2007, featuring in a friendly against Ghana with fellow future
Magpies Dan Gosling and Danny Rose.
Progress to the senior team via U19, U20 and U21 caps followed, making a
senior bow in a friendly against France during June 2017.
In the side that made it to the last four of the 2018
World Cup Finals just over a year later, his maiden goal
couldn't prevent a 1-2 loss to Croatia in the Semi-Final.
Starting in the Euro 2020 Final against Italy at Wembley
in July 2021, Trippier was substituted and took
no part in extra time or penalty shootout defeat.
He played his part in the 2024 Euros campaign that saw
England defeated by Spain in the final, playing in the left
back spot vacated by the injured Luke Shaw.
On the bench for that final defeat, Kieran then confirmed his international
retirement after a career spanning 54 senior caps.

Notts were unable
use their home ground of Trent Bridge due to a cricket
match, leading them to borrow the Town Ground of local rivals Nottingham Forest.

Two days after a 2-1 victory at Spurs, United were in
Norfolk to play a Hospital Cup Match.
Accompanying them on their first visit to City's home, The
Nest, was the FA Cup trophy that they'd won earlier that
year.
Nine of the XI on duty at White Hart Lane were retained,
Peter McWilliam and Jackie Rutherford standing down in
favour of Jack Carr and Dave Willis.
The fixture was replayed at Gallowgate two months later,
Newcastle winning 3-0.
Team:
Lawrence, McCracken, Whitson, Low, Carr, Veitch, Ridley,
Willis, Shepherd, Randall, Stewart.

Loughlin, netting a hat trick on his home debut after
being promoted from the reserves.
Having played just once previously for United, one victory
in their opening five fixtures saw Neil Harris dropped in
favour of Loughlin.
Sadly he wouldn't maintain his form and scored just twice
in ten subsequent appearances before moving on to West Ham
during 1927.

There was a senior debut for recent signing George

a Classic race with so many selling-platers."
He also voiced his distaste of the influence of
club directors on team selection, commenting:
"against my better judgement team switches have been
made which I know to be useless."

Despite conceding seven times, visiting goalkeeper Iam McFaul
made a positive impression on United

was invited back to Tyneside for a trial.
He'd been in a similar situation five years earlier, but
was rejected by the Magpies as a 12 year-old.

Aaron Hughes got things underway with his first goal for
the club, having persuaded Bobby that he was up to the
task of replacing the suspended Nicos Dabizas - and a loan
deal for veteran defender Colin Hendry wasn't needed.
Enter Alan Shearer, who equalled Andy
Cole's Premiership scoring record (for Manchester United
against Ipswich Town) and proceeded to complete a 12
minute hat trick at the Gallowgate End.
What unused Owls substitute 'keeper made of
