Update:
Willie McFaul RIP
Former goalkeeper, coach and manager Willie McFaul sadly died
on Saturday,
just days after his 82nd birthday.
Willie, or Iam as he was also known, was a goalkeeper
famously signed by United despite conceding seven
goals for Linfield in a friendly match at SJP in
September 1966.
Making his debut in a 0-2 home defeat by Liverpool
in November of the same year, Iam had become first
choice between the posts by the summer of 1968 and
played in all but one of the club's 59 games that
season.
He appeared in all twelve games of the club's
first European adventure, doing his bit to get United
into the final with a penalty save against Rangers at
Ibrox.
Future Fairs Cup campaigns in the following two
seasons saw Iam maintain his 100% appearance record,
scoring in the penalty shootout against Pecsi Dozsa in
1970/71, when the referee summoned United back from
the dressing room to complete the sequence of kicks -
despite the Hungarians having already won on
penalties.
Often featured on TV as the goalkeeper who concedes
two goals at Hereford in 1972, Willie played what was
to be his final game for the club at the end of the
1974/75 season, moving on to the SJP coaching staff.
Installed for the first time as caretaker manager
(briefly) in 1977, McFaul then took over again in 1985
following the abrupt departure of Jack Charlton and
was soon handed the job on a permanent basis.
Giving youth team startlet Paul Gascoigne his first
senior start, Iam (by now universally known as Willie)
kept the side together despite the departures of
messrs Waddle, Beardsley and later Gascoigne.
However, a spending spree ahead of the 1988/89 season
proved to be his downfall as new boys Dave Beasant,
Andy Thorn and John Hendrie failed to improve his side
and he was dismissed following a run of poor results.
McFaul returned to his native Northern Ireland and
worked as an Irish FA coach and with local sides
before accepting a FIFA -backed posting to become the
coach of Guam, an island in the South Pacific.
By 2004 Willie was back coaching in his homeland, as
well as scouting for Norwich City during Glenn
Roeder's time in Norfolk.
He returned to SJP in 2009 to take part in the 40th
anniversary celebrations of the Fairs Cup victory and confessed that he was
"delighted and a wee bit emotional" to be reunited with his colleagues and the
trophy.

Not led by Donkeys
Following a 0-2 home defeat by AFC Wimbledon that left Blackpool second bottom of League One on
Saturday, the Seasiders dismissed manager Steve Bruce.
Ex-Magpie coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence also leave
Bloomfield Road with immediate effect.
PS: As Bruce departs, his immediate predecessor at SJP has a new

Out of football since leaving Leicester City in February, the 44
year-old is reunited with his former Foxes boss Steve Cooper at the
Superliga side.
U18s:
Cup capitulation
Aston Villa U18s 7 Newcastle U18s 1
Newcastle's U18 side returned to
Premier League Cup action on Saturday, suffering a second half nightmare
against Aston Villa at their Bodymoor Heath training facility.
It was 1-1 at half-time when a Tom Old effort from close range equalised Markie Meade's fifth
minute opener for the hosts 20 minutes later.
It was still level with half an hour remaining, but after Jack
McGrath put Villa ahead, Teddie Bloomfield (70) got a third Meade (71) and McGrath (80) got their second goals.
Meade
then completed his hat-trick two minutes from the end before the scoring was completed in
the fourth minute of added time when Olly Lloyd got Villa's
seventh.
The home side featured Cole Ramsey, younger brother of current
Magpie Jacob.
Team: Dowell, Bloomer, Goodbrand (Durrant 59), Old, Moran,
M.Miley (Cogdon 59), Pinnington (Patterson 75), Ireoluwa, O'Donovan

U19s:
Belgians prevail
USG U19s 2 Newcastle U19s 0
Newcastle U19s were left to rue a host of missed chances on
Wednesday, as they suffered their second successive defeat in
this season's UEFA U19 Youth League.
Although their traditional Joseph Marien Stadium
home wasn't chosen to host Champions League ties, the youth meeting
of the sides was staged there, with a mixture of supporters and
officials in the 100 year-old stand.
To the delight of home fans and parents, Union took the lead in just
the sixth minute when Youssef Hamoutahar evaded Scott Bailey on the left,
made his way into the
box and fired beyond goalkeeper George Mair.
After a slow start, United began to dominate and fashion a trio of
presentable opportunities; Sean Neave lobbing Girogi Kavlashvili
only for a defender to intervene, Mo Waddani losing his one on one
with the goalkeeper and Leo Shahar's free kick from a dangerous
position blocked.
SG extended their advantage in the third minute of added
time when Sekou Keita bundled in a corner at the back amid protests
from the visitors - it's unclear whether they were claiming a foul
or handball but Macedonian referee Jovan Kachevski was unmoved -
having earlier booked Sam Alabi for querying the lack of free kick
for a clear foul on him.
The second half followed a similar pattern, with
the young Magpies enjoying the lion's share of possession but still
unable to fashion many clear chances.
The closest they came was when Neave struck the upright in the 71st
minute with the goalkeeper rooted to the spot; substitute Park
Seung-soo busy down the left without providing a killer pass or
cross.
Team: Mair, Shahar, Johnson (Epia
63), Watts, Charlton (Goodbrand
76), Munda, Bailey (Bloomer
65), Finneran, Alabi (Park Seung-soo
46), Neave, Waddani (Wooster
63).
Subs n/u: Dowell, Brayson, O'Donovan, Yildiz.
Booked: Alabi, Watts.

81), Keita.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
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.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

On This Day in History |

4th October |

Born Or Died:
1987 Suddouk Al Haj born,
Algeria.
(2005)
Who? The winner of the 2005 SoccaStars Tournament
(on the right of the photo).
Suddouk beat off competition from thousands of other
youngsters in the Pan-Arabic event to win a year's
contract at Newcastle Academy after being selected by
Peter Beardsley.
However, the player who was likened to Nolberto Solano and had
reportedly never played on grass before the tournament - was denied a UK
visa.
SoccaStars runners-up Mohamed El Gabbas (Egypt) and
Abdul Rahman Al Bukhari (Saudi Arabia) were also given one
year Academy placements on Tyneside and unlike Suddouk made it to England.
Striker Gabbas played for Newcastle in a reserve friendly at Esh Winning in
October 2005 and he and Bukhari were introduced to the SJP crowd before the
Arsenal home game two months later.
There were no more Tyneside sightings but Gabbas returned to his native Egypt
with El Masry in Port Said and by 2009 was
also in the Egyptian national side - and rejoicing in the nickname of
"Dodo".
Joining Belgians Lierse in 2009, he moved on to Swindon
Town four years later and made 10 senior appearances
during the 2013/14 season
without scoring.
Signing for French side Arles, a return to Egypt then came with Cairo-based Wadi
Degla during 2014.
Rejoining Lierse two years later, by 2018 Gabbas had returned to Wadi Degla
after his contract in Belgium expired.
1989 Frank Wiafe Danquah born, Amsterdam, Netherlands. (2006-10)
Striker who began his career at Ajax before joining United,
only to break his leg shortly after moving to England.
Recovering fitness, his reserve debut came against Manchester United in March
2007 and he was blooded at senior team level in a friendly against Hull City
four months later.
After another brief outing in a friendly against PSV Eindhoven at SJP a year
later, Frank making the first team bench for the only time as a Magpie - the infamous Hull City home defeat in September 2008.
Finally released in 2010, Danquah joined Stockport
County (trial), Bournemouth (trial), Ferencvaros
(Hungary), Waasland Beveren (Belgium) Kayseri Erciyesspor (Turkey) (trial),
Elche (Spain) (trial), Gateshead (trial), Newcastle Benfield, FC Chabab
(Holland)
FC Brasov (Romania) and Targa
Mures (Romania).
2014 saw Frank in his native Netherlands at Achilles 29 before
moving on to FC Lienden and then Fortuna Sittard.
By 2017 he was back at Lienden before a brief spell with NEC Amateurs,
signing for VV DUNO in the Dutch Hoofdklasse.
2010
The death of entertainer Norman Wisdom.
He was 95.
A former Brighton & Hove Albion Director, Norman was a Toon sympathiser
who attributed his liking for United to the influence of Amble-born Newcastle
fan Patrick Dickinson, who served with him in the Royal Signals.
September 2001 saw Norman grace the SJP turf as guest of honour for
the England v Albania international. In recognition of his heroic status in
Albania, he took to the field wearing a special half-in-half kit.
Making regular visits to the region, Sir Norman appeared on stage with fellow
Knights Bobby Robson and John Hall at Ramside Hall in 2003 - performing an
impromptu version of his signature tune, "Don't Laugh At Me...."
2025 Death of Willie McFaul,
82.
(1966-75 player, 1985-88 Manager)
Much-loved goalkeeper who starred in United's 1968/69
Fairs Cup triumph and remained on the coaching staff
until appointed manager in succession to Jack Charlton.

Beaten 1-6
at West Bromwich Albion a week earlier, Newcastle
returned to winning ways, making it four victories from
five games.
The Nottingham Post advised that the away side
reached Newcastle by train at Midnight the previous
evening and that "the morning was whiled away by an
inspection of some of the sights the busy port of Tyne
offers to its visitors, and by catching as much of the
sea ozone as possible."
Taking in the air may have indeed helped Notts - who
had lost 8-0 at Gallowgate the previous season.
1913 Bolton Wanderers
(a)
1-3 (1-0)
Division One
P6, 5pts, 14th/20
Hall(35)
Lillycrop(46), Vizard(79), J.Smith(83)
32,000
Seeking a fourth successive victory at Burnden Park,
the omens looked good for Newcastle when Tom Hall gave
them an interval lead.
However things rapidly went awry in the second half,
George Lillycrop chesting in an equaliser within seconds
of the restart before the hosts netting twice more.
1919 Liverpool (h)
3-0 (1-0)
Division One
P9, 11pts, 4th/22
Hibbert(5,86,3-0)
40,000
Filling in at centre forward
for the injured George Pyke, Billy
Hibbert notched the second hat trick of his Newcastle
career almost eight years after the first.
He then
hit another treble in United's next home game, against
Bradford Park Avenue.
There was a debut for Alex Ramsay, who would give way to Stan Seymour in
the outside left role within a year.
1924 Nottingham Forest
(a)
1-1 (1-1)
Division One
P10, 10pts, 8th/22
Seymour(18)
Flood(41)

Despite taking the lead at the City Ground, United had
to be content with a point - their fourth stalemate in
five away games.
 1930 Liverpool (h)
0-4 (0-2)
Division One
P9, 10pts, 7th/22
Smith(38,47), Hodgson(43), Edmed(80)

a brace for the visitors, while Dick Edmed and South African-born Gordon
Hodgson also netted past Magpies goalkeeper Albert McInroy.
1941 York City (a)
2-2 (0-1)
Wartime
Stubbins 2(1pen)

 1947 Coventry City
(h)
0-0 (0-0)
Division Two
P11, 13pts, 6th/22
55,569
Forward George Lowrie earned good reviews for his
display in the Coventry side - barely five months later
he'd moved to Gallowgate for a club record fee of
£18,500.
 1952 Liverpool (a)
3-5 (1-2)
Division One
P10, 9pts, 4th/22
Prior, G.Robledo 2(1pen)
Liddell(9), Smith(36,69), Baron(47), Paisley(77)
48,002
Goalkeeper Ronnie Simpson paid the price for this
loss, losing his place in the side to Bobby Robinson
for the next three games.
 1954 Plymouth Argyle (a)
2-3 (1-0)
Friendly
White(29), Milburn(82)
Davis(1-1,71), Tadman(1-2)
11,679
A midweek visit to Home Park was played under floodlights
that had been installed the year before, but wouldn't be
authorised for use in Football League games until 1956.
Team:
S.Mitchell, Cowell, Batty, Scoular, Keery, Crowe, White,

Division Two
P11, 8pts, 18th/22
Lewis(38), Hunt(75)

Newcastle with this victory at Anfield.
 1969 Crystal Palace (a)

Division One
P13, 12pts, 12th/22
Robson(26),

Parker(20), Barton(80),
Suddick(89pen)

P11, 10pts, 14th/22
Tudor(18), Barrowclough(60)

on home turf for Magpies boss Gordon Lee, although his side squandered a two
goal lead.

 1980 West Ham United (h)
0-0 (0-0)
Division Two
P9, 10pts, 10th/22
24,866
Following 0-0 draws against Oldham and Bristol
Rovers, a
third successive stalemate was posted by Arthur
Cox's side - although their unbeaten league record
was extended to six games. All remembered here.
 1986 Southampton (a)
1-4 (1-1)
Division One
P9, 5pts, 22nd/22
A.Thomas(13)
Clarke(16,70,76), Dennis(82)
14,622
After netting just once in our opening five away
games, an early fumble by Peter Shilton that allowed a shot from Andy Thomas
into the net was most welcome.
However, that lead was short-lived as Northern Ireland international striker
Colin Clarke scored the first goal of his hat trick.
 1989 Reading (h)
4-0 (1-0)
League Cup 2nd Round
2nd Leg
Brazil (40pen), Brock(56), Thorn(63), McGhee(90)

2nd Leg
Barton(48), Albert(55), Ferdinand(65)
Agostino(14)
36,357
Debuts for Paul Brayson and Jimmy Crawford (on as a
substitute.) Another long-term injury victim returned as
Philippe Albert played his first game of the season and scored,
while Warren Barton struck his first for the club.
1995 Christmas
came early as Spurs paid an almighty £4.2m to lure
Ruel Fox away from SJP. Muchos Gracias, senor Ardiles.
1996 Another
unannounced game, this time at Longbenton where the
reserves played a Hearts side and won 4-0.
Goals came from Lee Clark, Rob Lee and a Paul Kitson
brace.
 1997 Tottenham Hotspur
(h) 1-0
(0-0)
Premier League
P7, 15pts, 6th/20
Barton(89)
36,709
Ruel Fox and Les Ferdinand returned to Tyneside and managed to
lock themselves in the away team toilet, missing the start
of the second half.
A late winner for boyhood Gunners fan Barton settled it, a
clearly overwhelmed Ferdinand ending the game standing in the centre
circle, half wearing a Newcastle shirt, acknowledging applause from all four sides of the ground.
 1998
Arsenal (a)
0-3
(0-2)
Premiership
P8, 11pts, 10th/20
Bergkamp (21,66pen), Anelka(29)
(Dabizas -65)
38,102
A Newcastle side lacking Robert Lee were duly sent packing
at Highbury, Nicos Dabizas sent off for bringing down Marc
Overmars and Dennis Bergkamp netting a penalty.
Shay Given saved a second spot kick from Bergkamp in the 86th minute - a rare
high spot on a dark day. A season of struggle lay
ahead after this public undressing....

Premiership
P7, 6pts, 18th/20
Shearer(44)
52,127
Mr Dependable, Alan Shearer, secured our first
Premiership victory of the season against his old club - and quelled the
increasing chatter about dressing room strife among Bobby Robson's
squad.
Big Al's 44th minute strike - his 250th
career league goal - was the difference on a nervy day at SJP. Saints were there to be beaten but United made hard work
of it.
NUFC.com
match report
2004 No lack of effort
from Tommy Craig's side and an improvement on the previous week's
dismal showing against Forest but it ended goalless against Liverpool Reserves.
That meant it was just two home goals in six hours of reserve football for the faithful, and we seldom looked like improving that tally.
And had it not been for a fine save by Tony Caig with fifteen minutes
remaining to deny striker Neil Mellor, then Liverpool would have left
Tyneside with all three points.
NUFC.com match report
2006 A statement was released by the Football Federation
Australia regarding Newcastle defender Craig Moore:
"Craig Moore has been suspended from the Qantas Socceroos squad for the
match against Paraguay this coming weekend. Moore had not reported for
training when the squad assembled in Brisbane."
Moore claimed that a combination of
sleeping pills and jet lag had caused him to miss the flight. However, our
info suggested that a day at the races (seeing his horse come second) and a
night at the casino might have had a little more to do with it....
2007 The Manchester Evening News
reported:
Former Manchester City player Joey Barton appeared before Trafford
Magistrates today accused of assaulting a team mate at the club's Carrington
training complex.
The 25-year-old, now playing for Newcastle United, was dressed smartly in a
blue suit during the brief hearing, which was adjourned until November 22 when
Barton will re-appear at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court for a plea
and case management hearing.
Barton, is charged with section 47 assault on Ousmane Dabo.
2009
SkySports continued their one-eyed coverage of the NUFC/Kevin
Keegan litigation, as the club's former Executive Director (football) Dennis
Wise appeared on punditry duties and spoke about his time at SJP.
Wise had appeared in a similar role earlier in the week, backing Chris Hughton
to be given the United job on a permanent basis.
Interviewed by Richard Keys, Wise took the opportunity to repeat
previous propaganda from the Ashley camp - as well as offer a counter view to
the claims made in Kevin Keegan's post-verdict statement.
Most notably, Wise claimed that a settlement offer was made to KKahead
of the tribunal:
"There
was an offer put in by Mike I believe, and it was probably more than what
Kevin got.....to settle it, yes....for more than the two million yes."
He also reinforced the line about the inflated sums that KK's legal team
had sought:
"Mike was worried....when someone is
suing you for £26m..."
And the "A" word almost inevitably made an appearance when Wise was asked
what would have happened to his former employers had KK received a larger
award:
"Maybe administration"
As for his own relations with KK, Wise ventured that:
"It was a difficult situation."
When Wise was asked for his opinion of what Mike Ashley's next move at SJP
would be:
"I think he will hold onto the club until they are promoted. I think
they'll go up this year, I genuinely hope they do, then Mike will take a
decision next summer."
2011 The Reserves made it four games without defeat from the start
of the season by beating Bolton 3-0 at Leyland. A brace from Sylvain Marveaux
and one from Sammy Ameobi decided the destination of the points.

United made it 20 European home games without defeat with a
seventh straight win at SJP against UEFA opponents.
Shola Ameobi's 13th European goal and an OG made for a comfortable half time
lead and although Rob Elliot had to be replaced by Steve Harper, Papiss Cisse
quickly volleyed in a third to put Newcastle top of Group
D.
Future Magpie Yoan Gouffran started for the visitors before making way for former mackem David
Bellion.

2015 Under the inevitable
headline of "Dick out" we reported that mackems
boss Dick Advocaat had resigned with immediate
effect.
Dick's departure meant that the red and whites would again replace their
manager ahead of a derby - a stunt they successfully pulled in April 2013 (Di
Canio), October 2013 (Poyet) and March 2015 (Advocaat) - with all gaining
their first wins by beating us.
Sadly, former Mag Sam Allardyce would become the
fourth addition to that list.
2017 From ITV News:
Newcastle United have lost a
High Court challenge over the seizure of documents by tax officials
investigating the financial affairs of several football clubs.
St. James' Park and West Ham United's
ground were raided in April by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as part of a
probe into suspected income tax and National Insurance fraud.
Newcastle's managing director, Lee
Charnley, whose home was also searched, was among a number of senior European
football officials arrested and later released without charge.
