Following a 3-1 success at Turf Moor the previous November, United completed a league double with comparative ease.

The Burnley Express headline writer came up with: "The Tynesiders Towel the Turfites."

With both sides idle due to their scheduled league opponents being in FA Cup action, former Magpie Bill McCracken's second tier side provided the opposition at SJP.

The Hull Daily Mail reporter was unimpressed with the First Division hosts, commenting that:

"The exposition of the Tynesiders as a team far from enhanced their reputation with their supporters."

Despite Hughie Gallacher's return after a two month suspension, United contrived to toss away a 2-0 interval lead.

Gallacher had missed seven league games as punishment for an incident following a 2-3 home loss to Huddersfield Town the previous December.

Upset at the failure of referee Bert Fogg to award a penalty in his favour, Hughie followed him into his dressing room and upon finding him bent over, shoved him into his bathtub fully clothed!

A below-par display left United a goal up in the first leg of this first leg of the Football League War Cup competition.

However they would improve in the second leg, recording a 3-0 win at Feethams.

24 hours after a 1-1 draw on Wearside, United made one change to their side; Bob Stokoe replacing Joe Harvey.

The visitors had beaten Charlton Athletic 1-0 at Anfield a day earlier, but remained without injury victim and former Magpie Albert Stubbins.

A barely deserved point in front of a paltry crowd saw the Sunday Sun's Ken McKenzie to label the hosts "little better than a rabble."

Future Magpies coach Tommy Cavanagh had a first half effort disallowed for offside before his 52nd minute penalty kick was saved by Ronnie Simpson.

Aiming for what would have been their third successive victory, a remarkable 86th minute miss by Jimmy Kerray denied them both points at Carrow Road.

Standing just a yard from goal when the ball reached him, the inside right somehow managed to balloon his shot over the crossbar.

"Two Noble deeds do the trick for Newcastle" wryly noted The Journal, as Peter Noble's brace helped ease United's fears of relegation.

United had got off to a fine start when John McNamee bagged his first goal for the club, turning in Noble's shot after it rebounded off City 'keeper John Farmer.

In the absence of both Malcolm Macdonald and Jimmy Smith,  Keith Robson debuted and Terry McDermott made his first start.

A Ron Harris handball gave the hosts a first half spot kick but the points were shared when Bill Garner's off-target shot was diverted onto the goal frame by Pat Howard and bounced past Martin Burleigh in goal.

Newcastle's steady slide into the Second Division continued, as former boss Gordon Lee returned to the scene of his crime to see the Toffees achieve a routine victory.

Fighting between home and away fans in the East Stand paddocks after Everton's second goal saw the game held up for six minutes, as the linesman was unable to run along that side of the field.

Having begun their home campaign with a 0-3 defeat by the Hammers, more Magpie misery came in the return game in East London. Kenny Wharton made his senior bow, as substitute.

United's fifth and final visit to Gay Meadow saw them gain only their second point as their promotion hopes were sustained.

Town were depleted by the sale of former Magpie loanee Alan Brown to Doncaster Rovers, but stand-in winger Steve Cross book-ended a pair of Newcastle goals.

Paul Johnson could only divert a cross into his own net and Kevin Keegan then hammered in the second from close range, but would be foiled late on by Steve Ogrizovic.

The Ewood micro-climate saw this game begin in bright sunshine, with fans clad in short-sleeved shirts.

By the end though, those fans were trudging away amid howling winds, hail and snow. Future Magpie Scott Sellars scored for the home side while midfielder Billy Askew made his United debut after arriving from Hull City.

1993 Second half strikes from David Roche, Kevin Brock and Alan Thompson gave United reserves a 3-1 Northumberland Senior Cup Semi-Final tie victory over Blyth Spartans at Croft Park.

The one and only Roger Mellie adorned the match programme cover thanks to a sponsorship deal with Viz. B*ll*cks, Tom.
 
1994 Transfer deadline day saw QPR's Darren Peacock join Newcastle in a £2.7m move, a British record fee for a defender at the time.

NUFC.com match report

"Newcastle's players want Terry Venables to keep them in the Barclays Premier League.

"Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood have been in charge of team affairs while Joe Kinnear recovers from heart surgery but the Magpies want an emergency boss - and have placed Venables at the top of their list."

It's unclear what position a certain Mr Shearer was on this list....

2010 The efforts of a quartet of SJP old boys gave the Magpies a small footnote in the record books for the 2009/10 season - the last side with an unbeaten home record in the top four divisions.

A 2-0 away win for Louis Saha and Sylvain Distin (Everton) over Shay Given and Craig Bellamy (Manchester City) ended City's seasonal unbeaten run at Eastlands.

2015 With no competitive game, the U21s lost 1-4 to Burnley in a friendly played at their training ground. Alex Gilliead netted.

2018 30,174 fans were at SJP as rugby side Newcastle Falcons beat Northampton Saints 25-22 in the Aviva Premiership.

2019 Magpies midfielder Mo Sangare made his international debut for Liberia against DR Congo in an African Cup of Nations qualifier staged in Kinshasa.

However there was to be no dream start for the 20 year-old reserve - Liberia failing to gain the point they needed to reach the finals as they lost 0-1.

Newcastle's squad rounded off their Dubai training camp behind closed doors against a local XI - managed by a familiar face.

Ex-Magpie defender Steven Taylor looked on as his Gulf United side provided the opposition in an early morning kick-off.

The game was staged before temperatures climbed above 30 degrees and played over three 20 minute periods at the NAS Sports Complex.

2023 Newcastle's Garang Kuol scored his first senior international goal, coming off the bench to net for Australia in a 3-1 friendly win over Ecuador in Sydney.
