Had to come to London:
West End boys

Following a successful run at Newcastle's Theatre Royal - with more
dates there next summer - "Gerry & Sewell" are heading to
London's West End next month.
Filmed as "Purely Belter", Jamie Eastlake's stage adaptation
of Jonathan Tulloch's book, "The Season Ticket" tells the
tale of two Toon fans
and their quest for their holy grail of Newcastle season tickets, despite being
totally skint....
Tickets are on sale now for performances at the Aldwych Theatre
between January 13th and 24th 2026, with seat prices starting from
just
£10 available online
here
Warning: may contain graphic references to Steve Bruce.
U21s:
Second string Saturday
Saturday afternoon sees Newcastle U21s return to action
in the Premier League International Cup, when they
host Croatians Dinamo Zagreb at Whitley Park.
It's a 1pm kick-off
and usual PL2 admission arrangements will apply, with season ticket holders* admitted free or else £3 adults &
£1 concessions in cash only at the gate.
* they will of course be otherwise occupied at SJP....
The Magpies then conclude their Group C ties at the same venue
against Benfica on Tuesday January 13th 2026 (7pm) - which
also now clashes with a first team fixture.
The format of the competition means that none of the
16 Premier League teams participating face each other, but each host four continental sides.
United have one point after two games after a 0-0 draw with
Real Sociedad and a 0-2 defeat by Paris SG. That leaves them
seventh in their eight team group while Zagreb sit second
with maximum points from their two fixtures.
Carabao Cup:
Citizens test
Newcastle's reward for reaching the Carabao Cup
semi-finals again is a two-legged meeting with
Manchester City.
United will be at home first on Tuesday 13.01.2026 (8pm),
with the second leg at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday
04.02.2026 (8pm if Arsenal are in the other semi-final or
8.15pm if it's Palace).
That second leg comes less than three weeks before the
sides meet in the Premier League at the Etihad, United
having beaten City 2-1 at Gallowgate in November.
This is the sixth time that City and United have been
paired in the League Cup and the first occasion since
September 2023, when the Magpies won 1-0 on Tyneside.
Newcastle's 2-0 away success in October 2014 meanwhile
remains our only league or cup victory at that venue:
NUFC v MCFC in the League Cup - all-time:
1975/76 F lost 1-2 (Wembley) Gowling
1994/95 R4 drew 1-1 (Maine Road) Jeffrey
1994/95 R4 replay lost 0-2 (SJP)
2013/14 R4 lost 0-2 (SJP)
2014/15 R4 won 2-0 (Etihad) Aarons, Sissoko
2023/24 R3 won 1-0 (SJP) Isak
2025/26 SF
(SJP then Etihad)
The black and whites have won all three of the previous
semi-finals they have contested, but this will be the first
when they've not enjoyed second leg home advantage:
1975/76 Spurs: lost 0-1 (a), won 3-1 (h)
2022/23 Southampton: won 1-0 (a), won 2-1 (h)

Wednesday saw the Premier League manage to meet their own deadline for
alterations to the February 2026 fixture list at the
behest of live UK TV.
Three of Newcastle's four games are selected, one of which unhelpfully
now has an either/or kick-off time:
Sat 07.02.2026 Brentford (h) 5.30pm Sky
Tue 10.02.2026 Spurs (a) 7.30pm TNT
Sat 21.02.2026 Manchester City (a) 12.30pm or 8pm TNT
Sat 28.02.2026 Everton (h) 3pm no TV
Re: Manchester City (a), the game will stay on Sat 21.02.2025 but move
from 12.30pm to 8pm "should either club be involved in a Champions
League knockout playoff match away from home the preceding Wednesday."

We had one to give away and asked which Bundesliga club Newcastle signed Nick Woltemade
from.
Most folks knew that it was VfB Stuttgart and from the winning
entries received, one from John Marcon was randomly selected.
U18s:
Pompey punished
Newcastle U18s 5 Portsmouth U18s 2

United U18s comprehensively defeated
Portsmouth in the
FA Youth Cup
Third Round on Tuesday evening, with winger Matheos Ferreira
grabbing a
hat-trick.
Two goals from Michael Mills in the opening nine minutes
put the young Magpies firmly in control at Whitley Park.
His first came just 30 seconds after the opening whistle, firing into the top corner and
he got his second eight minutes later with a low shot inside the
post.
Pompey got one back in the 19th minute through Tayo Singerr
after Ferreira was dispossessed in his own half.
Ferreira made amends in the 41st minute though with a fine finish,
lifting the ball over 'keeper Oscar Glover after being put through by Rory Finneran.
He got his second five minutes into the second period when Mills
slotted the ball through and Ferreira finished well inside
the far post.
Ferreira then completed his hat-trick sliding in to finish Seldon's
pass with 17 minutes left.
Brandon Downey hit Pompey's second of the game in the closing
stages.
17 year-old Ferreira becomes the first Magpie to claim a hat-trick
in this competition since Dylan Stephenson did so against Leeds
United back in 2021.
Team: Mair, Patterson, Johnson, Moran, Durrant (Goodbrand
68), Finneran (M.Taylor 81), Alabi (M.Miley 68), Ferreira, Mills (Seldon
62), O'Donovan (Pinnington 75), Wooster.

Newcastle now enjoy home advantage in the Fourth Round, hosting
Crystal Palace. The FA website lists that as a 7pm kick-off at
Whitley Park on Thursday
22.01.2026.
Speaking after the win, coach Chris Moore said:
“The thing with Matheos (Ferreira) is he has
loads of ability and loads of cutting edge - but he did his bit for
the team as well. He did a really good job for the team, he worked
really hard and he did all of that side of it. Then that’s a good
platform for him to show his attacking bits.
"He scored different goals tonight, he ran in behind, he carried the
ball really well and then the last goal, he’s got in at the back
post, you have to gamble, put that work in, get up the pitch and get
in the middle when you might not get it and he’s done that and got
his rewards.
"It’s really good for the lads, it’s good experiences and good
for their development. The big thing about going through is you get
more of them and they get a little bit bigger each time.
"That was a tricky tie tonight, we’ve got through with that one and
then we have a tough one against Crystal Palace, who are doing well
in their league, so that should be a good occasion as well.”

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to

On This Day in History |

19th December |

Born Or Died:
1919
George Lowrie born, Tonypandy, Wales. (1948-49)

Inside forward who began his career with Swansea
Town in 1937, moving
to Preston North End later that same year although his time at Deepdale was
blighted by injury.
Switching to Coventry City in 1939, George appeared for them
before the outbreak of WW2, representing City and Northampton Town in the War
Leagues, in addition to earning nine unofficial Welsh caps.
Hitting form upon the resumption of league football, Lowrie was Coventry's top
scorer two seasons running and won four senior caps for his native land.
Seeking a replacement for the departed Len Shackleton United paid a record fee
of £18,500 in March 1948 and he almost had a sensational start to his debut,
netting in the opening seconds only to see it ruled out.
That came against Southampton and George faced the Saints twice in a week; his
last City outing and his Magpies debut, although the latter ended in a 2-4
reverse at the Dell.
Scoring against Doncaster Rovers on his home debut the following week, Lowrie
made five appearances that season as United gained promotion back to the top
flight.
Having started the season with three goals in two First Division appearances,
injury sidelined George until the following March when he managed a further two
games.
After just one goal in a trio of starts at the beginning of the 1949/50 though
- and with United having lost all three of those games - Lowrie was sold to
Bristol City for £10,000.
The goals started to flow again for George at Ashton Gate, albeit in the Third
Division, before a broken leg derailed his career.
A comeback with Coventry City in 1952 saw Lowrie play on for a further season
and he later appeared for the Lovells Athletic side in Newport. George died in 1989.
1963 Derek Bell born, Fenham. (1981-83)

Midfielder brought through the junior ranks at United, making his senior bow in a
1-4 loss at Blackburn Rovers in May 1982.
Sadly though he proved unable to recover from a cruciate knee injury sustained
in a tackle with Remi Moses the following year in a Central League fixture at
Old Trafford.
Forced to quit as a professional aged just 19, Derek continued to play at
non-league level with Newcastle Blue Star.
1985 saw him begin an association with Gateshead that saw him play over 300
games in nine seasons for the Tynesiders (although he did defect to North
Shields for the 1987-88 season before returning).
Former Newcastle team mate Kevin Keegan brought a Magpies XI to the
International Stadium for a testimonial in 1993, ending club
captain Bell's time at the 'Heed.
Working as a housing office for Newcastle City Council, Derek played on for
Bridlington Town, Bishop Auckland, Berwick Rangers and Whitley Bay, first
moving into management at Hillheads in 1995.
Spells at Blyth Spartans, Lemington Labour Club and Durham City followed - Bell
also managing the latter for a spell.
Aged 38, Derek was appearing for Benfield (managed at the time by his brother
Alan) in October 2002, when persuaded to rejoin Gateshead as first team
manager.
He went on to serve Gateshead
as their Director of Football and Chairman before finally leaving in 2008.
November 2016 saw him go public to reveal years of sexual abuse he'd suffered
at the hands of a local boy's club coach before joining Newcastle in 1979.
Those horrendous experiences were put to work in a positive way by Derek when
he became a safeguarding and mental health trainer for I7 Safeguarding (NE)
Ltd.

1991 Jeff Henderson born, Ashington.
(2005-12)

A former pupil at Coquet High School, centre half Jeff played for Northumberland Boys and
after coming through our Academy, made his
Magpies reserve debut against
Sheffield United in September 2008.
Featuring for the first team in the closing stages of a pre-season friendly at Carlisle in
July 2010, Hendo got more pitch time a year later in the kickabout at
Darlington.
A first competitive selection for the first team saw Jeff an unused substitute for
the Carling Cup tie at Nottingham Forest that
September.
The following month saw Jeff loaned out to Conference side Gateshead, marking
his debut for the Tynesiders with the goal in their 1-0 win at Ebbsfleet.
Returning to United in December 2010 after making six starts and two more as
sub, the terms of Hendo's loan allowed him to continue playing for our
reserves, but a combination of fixture clashes and fitness issues precluded
that from happening.
Having filled in at right back near the end of his spell at Gateshead, Jeff occupied that slot on his United reserve comeback against Bolton days
before turning 20.
Released by Newcastle in 2012, he played for
Bradford City as a trialist before joining Sligo Rovers in July on a contract
until the end of their 2013 season.
Named mostly as a substitute during the remainder of the 2012 campaign (which
ran from March to October), Hendo managed some pitch time as The Bit o' Red
clinched a First League of Ireland title for 35 years.
Remaining at the club until 2015 and playing in the Champions League while
winning more silverware, he then returned to the North East and played for
Stobswood Welfare.
June 2018 then saw Jeff sign for Morpeth Town ahead of their maiden season in
the Northern Premier League, taking the captain's armband at Craik Park.

0-2 down after the away leg, Newcastle were grateful to sub Malcolm Macdonald, who
scored to force extra time.
Due to the Miner's strike and power cuts/rationing
the game was staged in the afternoon to avoid using the
floodlights, reducing the

An unfamiliar forward duo of Andreas Andersson and

and Alan Shearer returning from

What was possibly Stephen Glass's finest moment in a black and
white shirt ensured victory; the young Scot cutting in from the United left and curling
his shot beyond Casey Keller to catapult United five places up the table into tenth position.

Steven Taylor and

warm-up.
Patrick Kluivert was added to the
starting line-up and put United ahead - although they were trailing
just six minutes later.
Titus Bramble headed a corner
into his own net, before Neil Mellor side-footed past Shay Given.
Milan Baros then waltzed around the 'keeper for 1-3 before Lee
Bowyer ensured that the squad was depleted further by a senseless
dismissal for two yellows.

Remi Garde's Villans were

De Jong
should have sealed the win but a dreadful miss was promptly punished when
a Villa corner led to Jordan Ayew firing past goalkeeper Rob Elliot.
Both sides would be relegated, Newcastle finishing two

Fulham went ahead when Bobby Decordova-Reid's flick was heading wide before Matt Ritchie
diverted it into his own net via his face.
Parity was restored when Callum Wilson was tugged outside the area by Joachim Andersen,
further contact saw Wilson tumble in the box and Graham Scott give a
penalty.
VAR required Scott to review his own decision on a pitchside screen, upholding the spot kick call and red-carding the visiting
defender.

United were on the

substitute Mykhailo Mudryk's added time strike salvaged a draw for the Blues
and sent the tie to penalties.
Newcaastle led through Callum Wilson's individual effort and although
winning the toss and shooting towards their own fans, United had no
answer to the home side's ruthlessness from 12 yards.
