Burnley U18s  1  Newcastle U18s  3

Newcastle's youngsters won their third successive game in the U18 Premier League on Saturday, leaving the Clarets' Barnfield training ground with all three points.

Chris Moore's side opened up a two goal advantage just before the half time interval, Kacey Wooster shooting his side ahead in the 41st minute and Matthew Taylor similarly firing home just three minutes later.

Burnley belatedly established a foothold in the game when James Lewis shot home with eight minutes of normal time left, but Newcastle regained their two goal advantage when Alfie Seldon netted in the second minute time added on.

Victory left the Magpies second in the table, five points behind leaders Manchester City.

Team: Dowell, Bloomer, Goodbrand, Durrant, Moran, Cogdon (Lucas 75), Pinnington (Ferreira 65), O'Donovan, Wooster (Johnson 83), M.Taylor (Hutchison 65), Seldon.

Badge comp answer

Although the special collector's editions of Magpin's new Nick Woltemade badge sold out in minutes, regular ones remain on sale and we had one to give away, complete with two restocked Champions League badge designs:

To be in with a chance of winning the trio, we asked who the most recent German-born player before Woltemade to appear in the Premier League for Newcastle was.

Incorrect answers included Dietmar Hamann, Joselu, Loris Karius and Odysseas Vlachodimos but it was Dusseldorfer Malick Thiaw we were after, preceding big Nick by three weeks when debuting against Liverpool back in August.

The winning entry came from Michael Burn.

Book:
Belfast boy

Out now from Pitch Publishing is the definitive biography of United icon, Bill McCracken, penned by renowned Magpies club historian Paul Joannou.

The Belfast-born defender served Newcastle for 15 seasons, winning three titles and one FA Cup while generating headlines worldwide for his revolutionary offside tactic.

Bill's life in football then extended for over half a century in managerial and scouting roles, included that of transfer advisor to Magpies supremo Stan Seymour in the 1950s.

"Bill McCracken..." is available to direct from the publisher via their Amazon shop

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
13th November


Born Or Died:

1993 Ben Sayer born, Newcastle. 
(2010-12)

Central midfielder who first appeared for the Magpies as an eight year old, also featuring for Grainger Park Boys Club.

Along with fellow junior Dennis Knight, Ben represented both Newcastle City boys and Walbottle Campus - captaining the latter to success in the 2007 national Schools Cup final at Coventry City's Ricoh Arena. 

Debuting for United's U18s as a substitute in a 2-1 away victory at Bristol City in August 2010, his first goal at that level came in a win at Barnsley three months later - an excellent 25-yarder on his 17th birthday.

Scoring the winner in the FA Youth Cup Fourth Round against Grimsby Town at SJP in January 2011, Ben was named on the bench for the reserves without featuring.

His second string bow came in a 2-1 friendly win at Berwick Rangers in July 2011, ahead of a handful of competitive reserve games.

Joining Ashington on trial following his release by United in 2012, Sayer signed for Team Northumbria and later appeared for Blyth Spartans and Spennymoor Town. 

Moving to Morpeth Town in 2014, he was instrumental in their 2016 FA Vase Final triumph over Hereford at Wembley and promotion to the Northern Premier League two years later.

Loaned to North Shields in 2023, Ben then played for Whickham, Blyth Town and Newcastle Blue Star.
 

What Else?

1897 Newton Heath (a)
1-0 
(0-0)
Division Two
P10, 15pts, 3rd/16 
Wardrope(75) 
7,000 
Newcastle completed a win double over The Heathens, winning at Bank Street for the first time in what would be the sixth and final meeting of the two clubs.

Magpies debutant Jock Peddie later played for Newton Heath, in their subsequent guise of Manchester United.

The Newcastle Daily Chronicle reported a brief break in play during the first half, when

"a hole was discovered in the middle of the field, quite a foot deep and some amusement was created by the appearance of the groundsman, with a wheelbarrow and a bucket full of soil wherewithall to fill the void."

1909 Preston North End (a)
0-4 
(0-1)
Division One
P14, 17pts, 5th/20 
Bannister(10,56
), D.McLean(86,89)
16,000
Reigning league champions Newcastle suffered their heaviest defeat of the season to a North End side well down the table and struggling in front of goal.

Colin Veitch and George Jobey dropped out of the side that had defeated Spurs a week earlier as part of what looks to have been an unsuccessful reshuffle.

1920 Burnley (a)
1-3 
(1-2)
Division One
P14, 18pts, 4th/22 
Dixon(16) 
Kelly(25), Cross(33), Boyle(48pen)
38,860
A week after recording a 2-1 win on Tyneside, an in-form Burnley side completed the double at Turf Moor - despite Newcastle taking an early lead through Stan Dixon.

What The Lancashire Evening Post described as "a valiant and scientific display" by the Clarets included two further strikes that were ruled out for offside.

1926 Bury (a)
2-3 
(1-2)
Division One
P15, 18pts, 5th/22 
Gallacher(17
), Hudspeth(80pen) 
Robbie(19), Stage(33), Ball(65)
20,075
United suffered only a second loss in twelve games on what was one of their least favourite away grounds - this a fifth successive failure to win at Gigg Lane.

The Magpies were aggrieved that a free kick awarded to them inside the Bury area early in the second half looked to be claimed by the home 'keeper behind his line.

1937 Blackburn Rovers (a)
1-2 
(1-0)
Division Two
P15, 10pts, 19th/22 
Bowden(5) 
Mortimer(46
), Butt(67)
17,468
One goal ahead at the interval, Newcastle were caught out at the beginning of the second half when Rovers rushed downfield straight from their kick off to level.

1937 At St. James' Park meanwhile, 9,000 spectators saw a Central League Representative defeated 2-3 by a London Combination XI in a friendly match.

The Central League side appeared in Newcastle home strips, with Magpie Stan Docking scoring once and creating the other "North" goal for Everton's Dixie Dean.

1943 Sunderland (h)
3-1
(2-1)
Wartime
Stubbins(16), Milburn(2-1), Taylor(68)

A fiery derby encounter saw Albert Stubbins and visiting player Jimmy Gorman dismissed for their part in a mass brawl during the second half.

 
1948 Derby County (h)

(0-0)
Division One
P17, 24pts, 3rd/22 
Hair(47),
Stobbart(75), Milburn(88)
64,061
The visitors went into this game unbeaten in all 16 games that season while United had last lost back in August.

Turnstile queues started forming at 4am for this eagerly anticipated encounter.

The Rams defence held strong in the first half, only for George Hair to sneak through and fire home the opener. George Stobbart and Jackie Milburn then beat visiting custodian Bill Townsend. 

"Tyneside is the most football-crazed place on earth and a more partisan crowd than the 64,061 fanatics who choked the St. James' Park terraces on Saturday you never saw", reported an awe-struck Derby Daily Telegraph correspondent.

1954 Charlton Athletic (h)
3-1
(1-0)
Division One
P17, 15pts, 15th/22 
Curry(9,59),
Mitchell(53pen)
Hammond(68)
35,988
Only the efforts of Charlton's veteran 'keeper Sam Bartram kept the scoreline down.

However, the 40 year-old Simonside native could do nothing to prevent either of Bill Curry's two headers or a hotly-disputed spot kick awarded for a foul on Jackie Milburn and converted by Bobby Mitchell.
 

1956 Roker Park hosted a floodlit U23 wear-Tyne derby with funds going to relatives of two players from local non-league side Willington FC who had recently been killed in a road accident.

It ended 2-2 with Thewlis and Bowran on target for the Magpies; Chris Harker, Bill Punton, Albert Franks & Bill Redhead among those playing. 

1965 Blackburn Rovers (a) 2-4 (2-1)
Division One
P17, 14pts, 15th/22

Bennett(42) 
England(22,54), Darling(63), Byrom(76)

Mike Harrison scored an own goal, but two efforts from fellow Rover Mike England helped them on to victory.

1971 Leicester City (a) 0-3 (0-2)
Division One
P17, 10pts, 21st/22 
Brown(2), Sammels(44), Fern(68)

Joe Harvey's men came away from Filbert Street having extended their winless run away from home to thirteen games.

1974 Fulham (h)

League Cup 4th Round
Macdonald(53), Cannell(79), Cassidy(83)

The Cottagers included old boy Viv Busby in their line-up, along with Bobby Moore and Alan Mullery.

1974 Terry McDermott was transferred from Newcastle to Liverpool, for a fee of £170,000.

The Kirby-born midfielder made his Reds debut just three days later, in a 0-0 draw against Everton at Goodison Park.

Macdonald(23), Withe(42), Connolly(53), McDermott(77)

Testimonial match for goalkeeper Willie McFaul, 13 years and one day after he made his first team debut against Liverpool.

1982 Leicester City (a)

P14, 19pts, 10th/22 
Keegan(17,75)
English(43), Lineker(57)

Hometown boy Gary Lineker got a flier from the family market stall to net against Newcastle for the second successive season.

1994 With the first team not in action, SJP staged a Saturday afternoon FA Youth Cup First Round tie between the young Magpies and their Burnley counterparts. 

It finished 1-1 thanks to an equaliser from Sam Aiston, who was later released by United without making it to the first team.

2000 The Reserves won their first game of the season at Kingston Park, coming from behind to beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-1. 

On-trial defender Robert Ullathorne netted an own goal, but two from Lomana LuaLua and a Stuart Green effort secured the win. 

Midfielder Facundo Bonvin was in the home side, the Argentinean youngster later becoming an Owl.

2002 Feyenoord (Netherlands) (a)
3-2 
(1-0)
Champs League Match 6
Bellamy(45+1,90+1), Viana(49)
Bombarda(65), Lurling(71)
48,500

No matter what Newcastle managed in Rotterdam, there was surely no way an under-strength Juventus would get the result in Kiev that Sir Bobby Robson's side needed in order to complete a remarkable comeback to qualify.

But when Craig Bellamy returned from a three game ban to score on the stroke of half-time and the Italians were holding Dynamo, the impossible dream was suddenly on. 

Hugo Viana made it 2-0 but Kiev then netted through Shatskikh - a goal that seemed to dash United's hopes of qualification.

Juventus then dramatically equalised just three minutes later - through Salas - as Feyenoord got one back thanks to substitute Mariano Bombarda. 

And then Juve scored again, Zalayeta putting the Serie A side ahead on 61 minutes. We needed to hang onto to our lead but Anthony Lurling promptly levelled for Feyenoord as United threatened to capitulate.

With Juventus hanging on for their first away success in this competition in 18 attempts (since winning in Kiev four years earlier), Newcastle needed inspiration - and it came indirectly through Kieron Dyer.

He broke upfield and seemed a certain scorer, only to shoot weakly at Patrick Lodewijks.  The rebound went no further than Craig Bellamy though, who squeezed the ball between keeper and post for an incredible finish in the first minute of added time.

German referee Franz Xaver-Wack then kept the travelling Magpies in agonies for two more minutes before blowing his whistle - the party truly getting underway when confirmation of Juve's Ukrainian success came.

After three defeats United had sensationally qualified for the second group stage - the first team to do so in Champions League history.

Premier League
P13, 18pts, 7th/20
44,686
Three days after losing at home to Blackburn Rovers, another frustrating home result and display saw Fulham claim a point, thanks to a stunning save from Mark Schwarzer.

Andy Carroll looked to have added to his season's tally with a fine volley early in the second half but the ex-smoggie stopper dived low to keep out his effort and also saved well from Peter Lovenkrands.

2014 The U21s won 2-1 against Stoke City at
the Britannia Stadium in a game shown live on Sky Sports - with the three points putting Newcastle top of the table.

Completing an unlikely hat trick was Ryan Taylor, who scored all three goals - the winner coming via a trademark free kick.

2018
The U21s reached the knockout stage of the CheckaTrade Trophy after a 3-2 win at Grimsby Town's Blundell Park. 

Following victories at Notts County and Doncaster Rovers, United maintained their 100% record with goals from Callum Roberts, Elias Sorensen and Matty Longstaff.
