Peter Mooney made his debut in this cup tie against the eventual losing finalists.

Trailing to an early goal, United missed the opportunity to quickly draw level when Frank Hudspeth's 16th minute penalty was saved by Town goalkeeper Sandy Mutch.

Mutch would subsequently sign for the Magpies and join the Gallowgate backroom staff after his playing career ended, devoting over 60 years of his life to the black and whites.

New signing Frank Houghton debuted following his arrival from Ballymena United.

He was one of four changes to a Newcastle side beaten 1-3 at Leeds the previous weekend, with Andy Donaldson, Jimmy Woodburn and Joe Sibley all recalled.

1948 Meanwhile, Newcastle reserves travelled to Turf Moor and were beaten 0-3 by hosts Burnley in the Central League. 

Len Shackleton played for the visitors having being dropped from the first team after submitting a transfer request.

Three goals adrift after half an hour with future Magpie Albert Scanlon among the scorers, former Red Devil Charlie Mitten inspired Newcastle to a remarkable second half recovery.

Guardian reporter Eric Todd reflected that:

"In speculating on the proceedings a few hours previously, one suggested there would be no lack of entertainment: events proved this to be one of the major understatements of the season. 

"Rarely is the average football supporter privileged to see such simultaneous artistry from four inside-forwards — a theatre-goer might experience the same uplift by watching Olivier, Wolfitt, Redgrave, and Richardson in the same play — and even less frequently is there such a remarkable regression in the tide of events."

A second successive no-score draw ended an odd January, in which United registered four stalemates in five games and managed to find the net just twice.

It was also the first game at SJP since Boxing Day, United playing away from home five times in a row - three league games plus FA Cup and Fairs Cup games at Southampton.

Following the excitement of the FA Cup win over Luton Town a week earlier, United did it all again against a Bolton side clad in an all-red kit.

A sense of deja vu extended beyond the final score, with United going ahead in the first half again through Ray Clarke, before being pegged back and then winning it thanks to Mick Martin. 

Former SJP favourite Stan Anderson was in charge of the Trotters, who were without fellow old boy Alan Gowling - the only game he missed all season.

With the game seemingly won, Craig Bellamy appeared to be fouled by City's Kenny Cunningham. 

However referee Rob Styles saw it differently and awarded the home side a free kick, bringing the ball forward 10 yards after Hugo Viana kicked the ball away and then refused to approach the referee for his booking.

The free kick was taken and fell for Stern John to beat Shay Given from close range and steal an undeserved point for Steve Bruce's side.

2006 Andy Carroll's extra time header booked United's place in the FA Youth Cup Quarter Finals at Brentford's Griffin Park.

Ahead through Mark Doninger at half time, Glenn Roeder's side were pegged back when Ryan Watts levelled for the Bees.

However, we set up a Sixth Round home tie against Blackburn Rovers or Brighton when Carroll struck with just five minutes of the extra half hour remaining,

Three goals, three points, unbeaten in four games, players returning from injury and up to ninth in the table - our highest position since mid- September - all appeared to be rosy in Glenn Roeder's garden.

But just one unproven loan signing (Onyewu) added to a backline that had gone 14 games without a clean sheet - a worrying transfer policy for a side who were continuing to paper over some massive cracks.

2008 United defender David Rozehnal made a season-long loan switch to Lazio. A permanent £2.9m deal followed six months later.

2010 After a false start earlier in the month when he was paraded despite still being on our payroll, Newcastle midfielder Geremi completed his move to Ankaragucu.

The Cameroon international was under contract at SJP until summer 2010 but had been out of favour since the defeat at Scunthorpe United the previous October.

2011 Despite continual denials from the club, transfer deadline day saw Andy Carroll join Liverpool for a reported £35m fee.

The role played by SkySports News was possibly the most disturbing aspect of the day, with reports of ever-increasing bids for Carroll and a farcical last minute attempt to re-sign Charles N'Zogbia from Wigan.

Carroll's subsequent lack of form at Anfield made the deal look excellent for Newcastle, but the "he won't be sold" comments from Alan Pardew hardly helped his credibility.

2012 No significant transfer deadline transfers came at SJP, as Alan Pardew failed in his declared quest to sign defensive cover. 

A final bid for Watford centre half Adrian Mariappa was made but Wigan did the same and received permission to speak with him - although he opted to remain a Hornet.

Remy Cabella netted his first goal, while Sammy Ameobi and Yoan Gouffran each got their second of the season in a comfortable win that piled pressure on Steve Bruce's relegation candidates.

Meanwhile, United were seemingly sitting comfortably in a mid-table position - 11 points above the third-bottom Tigers.

2017 There was very little transfer activity as the window closed. Tim Krul went on loan to AZ Alkmaar, Cheick Tiote was still to finalise a deal to China and strong rumours of a return for Andros Townsend turned out to be false, with no incoming deals at all.

Despite Joselu missing a first half penalty, United looked to have won for the first time in eight home League games when Jamaal Lascelles headed in debutant Kenedy's corner.

However a disputed late flag kick saw Sam Vokes nod goalwards and although Karl Darlow tipped that effort on to the crossbar, it rebounded off his back and into the net.
