The Dundee Courier scribe noted that "The home of the Newcastle United is a splendid enclosure."

Newcastle remained top of the table after finding a late goal to ensure victory at Anfield.

Many present thought that Sandy Higgins headed Jock Rutherford's 89th minute corner home, but he actually ducked out of the way for Jimmy Stewart to net.

The Reds gained instant revenge for their 0-2 loss to Newcastle at Anfield a week earlier.

With Liverpool 1-0 ahead, the ball was booted out of play and "burst with the sound of a bombshell"  became impaled on railings at one end of the ground in the words of the Liverpool Echo reporter.

Tom Mordue took less than five minutes to mark his Magpies debut with the opener in a rearranged Wednesday afternoon game.

Willie Cowan's header gave the hosts a 2-0 interval lead before Fred Tunstall halved the deficit direct from a corner.

Frank Hudspeth then marked his return to the side by converting a penalty as the Blades suffered a first loss in six league outings.

Having won away from home for the first time that season at Aston Villa a fortnight earlier, United went ahead at Molineux when Jimmy Richardson fired home despite offside claims.

However the hosts soon had a route back into the game when Dave Fairhurst was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box when protecting his face from a ball blasted at him from close in.

Billy Barraclough then hammered what proved to be the winner past Albert McInroy before half time - Newcastle unable to create any chances to claim an equaliser.  

And within hours of this meeting, the FA Cup Third Round draw paired the two clubs again.

Newcastle had the perfect start to this game when Tommy Walker netted after only fifteen seconds (some reports improbably claiming six seconds).

However the Magpies failed to build on their lead and Johnny Hancocks levelled in the closing stages before missing a late chance to win it.

Snow on the Gallowgate pitch couldn't prevent Newcastle from extending a year-long unbeaten home record, but that was of little value at the time....

2-0 ahead, the visitors reduced the deficit through Brian Kidd but we looked like holding on until  what proved to be a pivotal period in the career of 'keeper Gordon Marshall. 

What seemed to be a speculative cross from Red Devils left back Tony Dunne attacking the Gallowgate end on 89 minutes somehow caught Marshall out as he watched the ball apparently loop out for a goal kick, only to then agonisingly drop over his head and into the unguarded net.

That proved to be Marshall's undoing and he would soon be replaced between the posts by Iam McFaul.

1970 Newcastle agreed a £45,000 fee with Burnley for midfielder Doug Collins and he made his way to SJP to complete the formalities of the transfer. 

However, the deal was never actually completed after Burnley refused to pay the player his share of the proceeds.

Collins later had a brief spell with the mackems.

In the face of some bare-faced spoiling tactics, United gave it their best efforts in the closing stages, but the equaliser that would have brought extra time never arrived.

The heaviest defeat under the control of Sir Bobby Robson included a hat-trick the Ray Parlour completed with the last kick of a deeply dispiriting Highbury day.

A crestfallen Robson told reporters:

"We were just smashed. Simple as that. After Arsenal's first goal went in it was just a matter of damage limitation. I felt like taking a dose of Night Nurse and looking for a taxi."

This deserved victory made it three straight league wins and eight unbeaten for United.

Two goals in five first-half minutes (including Taylor's first for the club) put United on the road to victory and when Stephane Henchoz was red-carded on 40 minutes for bringing down Martins, it looked all over.

However, a spectacular goal from former Toon-target Morten Gamst Pedersen made it a nervy second half until Martins wrapped up the points in injury time.

Glenn Roeder handed a debut to teenage defender Paul Huntington from the bench in the closing stages of the game.

2019 Twenty-four hours after posting their lowest home league crowd for nine years, Newcastle announced that they were giving away an unspecified number of half-season tickets instead of placing them on sale.

That figure would amount to 10,000.

2024 A fine strike from Michael Mills put Newcastle U18s into the Fourth Round of the FA Youth Cup, beating Brighton 2-1 at Whitley Park. Joe Brayson had given the young Magpies an early lead.
