"Seldom do Newcastle reveal such penetrative power" noted the awe-struck correspondent from Athletic News.

While Albert Shepherd was praised for his four goal salvo, the defensive influence of Bill McCracken was also a factor in the victory - notably his application of the offside trap.

Heavy rain left pools of standing water on the Deepdale pitch - contributing to United's undoing when a shot from Billy Mercer rebounded off the woodwork and stopped dead, allowing Billy Roberts to knock home.

Referee Reg Mortimer was at the centre of controversy, disallowing what would have been a Bobby Mitchell winner for ungentlemanly conduct.

Mitch shouted "right" before netting and although the he maintained that his call was to a colleague and no home player was close to him, the official ruled that his intent was to mislead an opponent. 

1949 Meanwhile, Newcastle reserves ran out 1-0 winners at Barnsley thanks to George Hannah's fifth minute effort.

The visitors were captained at Oakwell by ex-Tyke Ted Robledo, "who received a cordial reception" according to the local paper.

Ahead of the Olympic Games in Melbourne the following month, a representative XI came to SJP for this Monday night floodlit kickabout.

And after notching a hat trick in a 3-1 reserve win at Blackburn the previous Saturday, Bill Curry supplied another goal-laden display.

That earned him a first team recall for the following weekend and he didn't disappoint, scoring in a 1-1 draw at Charlton.

The small Old Trafford crowd was a reflection of the fact that both sides were in the bottom half of the league.

The home side should have gone two ahead before the break but Dennis Viollet fired high and wide from the spot.

Elsewhere, the second Division match at Charlton's Valley finished 6-6 with Brian Clough netting a hat trick for the visitors Middlesbrough.

Sunday Sun scribe John Barrett opened his report of this game thus:

"Blackpool illuminations were switched off at midnight, but the lights went out for Newcastle United at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon."

Four up at the break, the Seasiders soon added two more and had another from Les Lea ruled out.

Unbelievably, this to be was the only home league game Blackpool won all season as they were relegated in 22nd and last place.

Future Bloomfield Road hero Alan Suddick was in the Newcastle side, but had joined the Tangerines within two months.

A damp Wednesday night saw over 4,000 fans stay away after United's home defeat by Swansea City the previous weekend.

Those who did turn out saw senior debuts for Chris Waddle in attack and Chris Withe at left back - both youngsters who had shown good form in the reserve team.

It wasn't pretty, but Waddle showed glimpses of his skills. Remembered here.

With the score at 0-0, both sides were forced into changes - a dazed Paul Kitson led from the field by referee Graham Poll after 20 minutes and Owls striker David Hirst limping off soon after.

Wednesday - in a lurid yellow and purple kit - went behind when Steve Watson blasted home at the Gallowgate End via the unsuspecting Philippe Albert.

Andy Cole quickly got on the end of a Scott Sellars cross to beat Kevin Pressman again and although future Owl Pavel Srnicek gifted Ian Taylor a goal, United held firm.

Wim Jonk's goal won it for hosts as an inexplicably negative United display failed to conjure up an attack worthy of the name, never mind a threat to the PSV 'keeper. 

The most potent attack of the game came as a group of Ajax fans attempted to infiltrate the home end and were forcibly ejected.

2003 Two games on the same day for our different Reserve sides. In the Premier Reserve League North, United came from behind to beat the mackems 3-1 at New Ferens Park; Michael Chopra, Nicos Dabizas and Badley Orr the scorers.

United's third successive league defeat was a tale of missed chances, with James Milner, Damien Duff and Obafemi Martins all equally wasteful.

Boro's Nigerian forward Yakubu was rather less profligate though, headed in a late corner to give Boro their second win over us in eleven Premiership Riverside meetings.

For the third year running Spurs left SJP on the end of a 3-1 spanking, this defeat hastening the end of Martin Jol's White Hart Lane reign.

Obafemi Martins got another against his favourite opposition, Claudio Cacapa opened his account and James Milner notched his first club goal of the season - the latter our 500th home strike in the Premier League.

Joey Barton made a belated competitive debut after recovering from a broken foot, while Chris Hughton watched on from the away dugout - within four months he'd be back at SJP on Kevin Keegan's staff.

He'd been on trial since August, having arrived at the urging of his former St. Etienne team mate Allan Saint-Maximin.

Following a handful of reserve outings however, Flo was told to go....
