The borrowers:
Loan lads
Matt Targett (Middlesbrough):
The defender completed all 90 minutes of Friday's 4-1 win at Hull City
in the Championship.
Joe White (Leyton Orient):
The midfielder played no part in Friday's 0-4 FA Cup exit at the
hands of Salford City.
Travis Hernes (Groningen):
A 2-0 Eredivisie victory at Excelsior on Friday was achieved without
the midfielder.
Aidan Harris (Coleraine):
The goalkeeper kept his place for a 3-1 home victory over Carrick Rangers
in the Irish Premiership on Saturday.

Rested for cup action in midweek, Sunday saw Vlach back in goal for
a visit to Valencia in La Liga. Like his parent club, the custodian
conceded in second half added time as the game ended 1-1.
Antonio Cordero (KVC Westerlo):
KVC scored four goals without reply at home to Anderlecht in the Belgian Pro League
on Sunday, but Cordero looked on as an unused substitute.
Trevan Sanusi (Lorient):
The winger wasn't involved in Sunday's 1-0 home

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.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are

On This Day in History |
|
8th December |
|
Born Or Died:
1884 Wilf Low born, Aberdeen.
(1909-33 player, trainer, groundsman)
Scottish international centre half who moved to Tyneside in May
1909 in a part exchange deal involving Jimmy Soye and £800.
Debuting in a 1-0 home win over Bolton in September of that year, Low played in
both FA Cup Final meetings with Barnsley in 1910, the second of which ended in
victory.
Wilf then added a runner's up medal to his collection the following year after
playing in both Final ties, against Bradford.
Serving with the Royal Engineers during World War 1 and guesting for Fulham,
Wilf returned to play on for a further five seasons at Gallowgate before
retiring in 1924.
Remaining with the club to coach the Swifts, Low was later appointed SJP
groundsman but met a tragic end when killed in a road accident on Tyneside
during April 1933.
1912 Clarence Alfred Theaker born, Spalding,
Lincolnshire. (1938-47)
Goalkeeper known as "Cam" whose career at SJP was badly affected
by WW2, with only one of his competitive appearances for United coming after
the conflict.
Beginning his career at his hometown club, Theaker made his league debut for
Grimsby, later appearing for Darlington and Lincoln in wartime football as well
as Newcastle.
Cam's final move took him to Hartlepools and he settled in the town after
retiring, passing away in February 1992. 
1914 Billy Leighton born, Walker.
(1932-38)
Inside right signed from local football at a cost of £25 in February 1932
who had to wait 12 months for his debut, in a 2-0 win over Chelsea at St.James'
Park.
After spells in the Magpies first team over the following five seasons, Billy
moved on to Southend United for £1,000 in May 1938.
The outbreak of World War II truncated his career with the Shrimpers, although
he did act as player-manager for Ecko Sports & Social club in nearby
Prittlewell when his army service allowed.
1945 found Billy garrisoned at Colchester and playing four times for the U's before hanging up his boots.
He passing away in 1981.
1951 Terry McDermott born, Kirby.
(player 1973-74, 1982-84,
Asst Mgr/coach 1992-99, 2004-08)
Twice a player for the Magpies and twice returning to
Gallowgate as a coach, Terry's first Tyneside stint began in February 1973,
signed from Bury at a cost of £25,000.
Blooded at reserve level, he appeared from the bench during a 1-2 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford
before a first start came the following Saturday in a 1-1 home draw with
Chelsea.
Playing for the Magpies in their 1974 FA Cup Final defeat by Liverpool,
McDermott was an Anfield player by November of that year, sold on at a cost of
£175,000.
However, it took him until 1976 before he became a first team regular, winning
the first of four First Division Championship medals.
Representing both club and country with Kevin Keegan, Terry followed him to SJP
in 1982 and made an immediate impact as KK scored four in a 5-1 success at
Rotherham.
Two seasons back on Tyneside ended in promotion back to the top flight - and a
return to Anfield along with Kevin Keegan in a memorable but one-sided FA Cup
defeat.
Winding down his career at Cork City and APOEL Nicosia, McDermott returned to
Newcastle in 1992 as assistant to Kevin Keegan as the side avoided relegation -
having been working in a catering business that supplied sports venues.
And he was to remain on Tyneside after KK's departure in January 1997, taking
caretaker charge of the side at Aston Villa with Arthur Cox and then assisting
new manager Kenny Dalglish - another ex-Anfield colleague.
The arrival of Ruud Gullit spelt the end for McDermott and he next appeared on
the staff at Celtic (with John Barnes & Kenny Dalglish at the helm) in July
1999, rejoicing in the job title of "social manager".
McDermott was out of football again until Bobby Robson departed from SJP in
2004 and he returned as assistant to ex-Liverpool team mate Graeme Souness
the following January.
Remaining in post during the reigns of both Glenn Roeder and Sam Allardyce, he
was there to greet Kevin Keegan for his managerial return in January 2008.
Two months later he commented in an interview that: "I get called
‘The Black Box’ because they can’t get rid of me - they’ve all had a
go."
However, by September he was gone, having remained at the club following
the departure of Kevin Keegan - only to be relieved of his duties shortly
afterwards.
The difference this time was the presence of Mike Ashley - now-departed
chairman Freddy Shepherd a supporter of McDermott during his time in the
boardroom.
Almost inevitably though, Terry's path would cross with Newcastle again, as he
joined the Toon old boy's club at Huddersfield Town, under the command of Lee
Clark.
And after the Terriers hosted the Magpies in pre-season,
the two sides were paired in the League Cup - giving McDermott his
first taste of life as a coach in the away dugout at SJP.
Clark's surprise exit in February 2012 also saw Terry go and the duo resumed their partnership at
second tier Birmingham City.
However, McDermott departed in February 2014 as Clark overhauled his backroom
staff in a vain attempt to save his own post.
Sadly, it was announced in 2021 that Terry had been diagnosed with dementia.
His sons Neale and Greg (also midfielders) both followed their dad's
example in donning black and white at junior/reserve level - although neither
made it to the first team.
1966 Les Ferdinand born, Notting Hill, London. (1995-97)
QPR paid non-league side Hayes the princely sum of £15K in
1987 to sign a part-time footballer who worked as a painter and
decorator in West London.
In his early years there weren't too many signs of Ferdinand's future
striking prowess, the former schoolboy goalkeeper loaned to Brentford to get
pitch time.
A further loan - to Turkish side Besiktas - was to kick start his career though
and Les became a first team regular on his return to Loftus Road.
And with speculation increasing about a move, Ferdinand kept scoring against
Newcastle but remained at the Hoops.
Eventually he agreed a move to SJP rather than Aston Villa, signing in the
summer of 1995 at a cost of £6m.
Pre-season goals at Rushden & Diamonds, Celtic, Gateshead & Spurs were
then followed by a fine debut strike at the Gallowgate End in a home win over
Coventry.
That was to be the first of a half century of Toon goals in just 85
appearances, with Ferdinand defying the critics to form a deadly partnership
with Alan Shearer the following season (although Kevin Keegan's initial plan
had been to play Les with Andy Cole).
The start of the 1997/98 season saw Les in the side and appearing in pre-season
games. However behind the scenes all wasn't well, with the club now a PLC and
working to a new set of financial restrictions.
Manager Kenny Dalglish was forced to offload Ferdinand and with Everton and
Sheffield Wednesday showing an interest, the player quickly agreed to join
Spurs - his boyhood favourites.
Shortly after the deal had been verbally agreed however,
Shearer catastrophically injured himself in a pre-season friendly at Goodison
Park and word was sent to stop Ferdinand's transfer.
Understandably piqued at being dumped by United, Ferdinand rightly refused to
pull out of the move - having given his word to Tottenham boss Gerry Francis.
His first return to SJP was a memorable one, as Les and his
fellow former Magpie colleague Ruel Fox missed the start of the second half -
after getting stuck in the away team's toilet.
The England international then left the field clutching Temuri Ketsbaia's
Newcastle shirt and close to tears at the ovation given to him by home fans.
Later moves took him to West Ham, Leicester City, Bolton
Wanderers and
Reading, after which he trained with Watford but never registered as a player.
Working in the media, Les later became a coach at Spurs; warmly welcomed at SJP
in 2006 for Alan
Shearer's testimonial. He'd received an MBE a year earlier.
Subsequently facing United at first team, reserve and junior level as
part of the Spurs backroom staff and then assistant to Tim Sherwood, Les returned to
another former club, QPR, as Director of Football in 2014.
After almost a decade at Loftus Road that included a short stint as caretaker
boss, Ferdinand stepped down in June 2023 and has since been a regular TV
pundit.

Newcastle's hopes of a sixth successive league win
were wrecked at Hillsborough, Tynesider Jack Allen
netting twice against the club he'd join in 1931.
The "Star Green 'Un" reporter was moved to
comment on frequent "interactions" between home fans and
Hughie Gallacher after he repeatedly berated officials:
"Gallacher is responsible for his own unpopularity by
his childish exhibitions of annoyance."

Ex-Magpie duo Tommy Thompson and Johnny Dixon
scored against their old side only for John
Duncan to net his first United goals and salvage a
point.
Nominally a full back, John played as an emergency
centre forward, after Jackie Milburn was ruled out of
the game through injury.
Home manager George Martin's last act before quitting
as boss of Newcastle had been to sign Duncan from Ayr
United.
In goal for Villa was Con Martin - father of future
Magpie Mick - who was routinely a full back but had a
run of games between the posts due to a lack of suitable
alternative custodians at the club.

The high-flying Rams came to Tyneside with a slender
1-0 first leg lead, but Newcastle wiped that out by the
hour mark before the visitors scored again to take the tie
into extra time.
John McGovern then beat Iam McFaul direct from a corner
before Colin Todd sealed the win for Derby - who went on
to beat Scottish side Airdrieonians in the
final.
 1973
Birmingham City (a) 0-1 (0-1)

Burns(37)

Unbelievably this was our sixth meeting with the Blues
in less than two months - two in the League Cup, three in
the Texaco Cup (one being abandoned) and this league
encounter.
Midfielder Denis Laughton played the first of his eight
games for the club after having arrived from Greenock
Morton.

The medial ligament injury sustained at Kenilworth
Road by Mick Martin proved to be a turning point in the season as
United gradually lost form and dropped out of the
promotion race.
1980 United's home game with Blackburn Rovers fell
victim to the winter weather, called off at lunchtime due

Chris Waddle netted a fine individual goal that was to
ultimately lead to him moving to White Hart Lane the
following summer.
United led until John Chiedozie tumbled in the box under
the slighest contact from Wes Saunders and won the penalty
that woke the home side from their slumbers.

Roger Milford officiated this weekday afternoon
encounter at the San Nicola Stadium which saw United well
beaten and thankfully eliminated from the competition.
Captain Brian Kilcline headed in from a corner only to see
it disallowed, the Appleby brothers, Matty and
Richie appeared together in the senior side for the first
time and there was a rare outing for John Watson.

2009 United

2010 Chris
Hughton's replacement as United manager was confirmed
as the former Reading, West Ham, Charlton and Southampton
boss, Alan Pardew.
Bewilderment amongst fans gave way to fury, Pardew seen as bringing nothing
more to
the club than Hughton - arriving in an atmosphere
of renewed hostility of the type that had helped
destabilise the club with disastrous consequences just
over two years before.
And in further echoes of 2008, there were calls for
fan-led protests to accompany the visit of Liverpool to
Gallowgate.
2017 United U23s defeated
basement side West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at Whitley

A small crowd braved sub-zero temperatures and were rewarded with a brace from

A goal down and in need
of a lift, the introduction of
Andy Carroll from the bench proved to be pivotal
for United.
Playing his 100th senior game for the club, Carroll added a physical and aerial
threat and provided a fine cross for Shelvey's leveller.
Federico Fernandez was then in the right place to
win it from close in, after Sean Longstaff's shot struck
Saints 'keeper, Alex McCarthy.

Goals from Joelinton (2), Miguel Almiron (2) and Dylan Stephenson saw
