A lively game at Bloomfield Road saw the Tangerines end a seven game winless run against United: the most recent of which had been at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup Final the previous April.

Among the home scorers was Ernie Taylor, who had left Gallowgate a month earlier. His former team mate Jackie Milburn missed a 17th minute penalty kick.

A fifth successive home clean sheet by goalkeeper Steve Hardwick and Alan Shoulder's flicked finish lifted United into second.

Boss Bill McGarry said, "The result was right but I was happier with the performance last week at Oldham when we lost. Yet we played worse and still won so I'm not complaining."

1982 Free agent central defender Jim Holton was confirmed to be training at Newcastle, but failed to impress and no contract offer was reportedly made.

The former Shrewsbury Town, Manchester United, mackem and Coventry City player had left Sheffield Wednesday after a year when he failed to play a senior game due to ongoing fitness issues.

Holton passed away in 1993, aged just 42.

Following a quartet of draws in the League, Newcastle returned to winning ways against John Neal's side.

Off the field, what was described in the press as "a horror attack" by Chelsea thugs after the game at Haymarket bus station left three home fans with knife wounds.

1987 Walsall striker and future Magpie David Kelly was selected by boss Jackie Charlton to make the first of his 26 full appearances  for The Republic of Ireland.

United recovered from being 1-0 down at Molineux almost before they had touched the ball. Mick Quinn then thought he'd equalised - only to fall victim to a harsh offside flag.

Lee Clark scored his first goal in senior football to spark wild celebrations on the away terrace, but Wolves sealed it shortly after half time with a scrambled effort. 

This was probably Scott Sloan's best game, supplying a succession of good crosses and receiving numerous kicks and elbow digs for his trouble.

Steve Watson's first team bow as a substitute in midfield made him United's youngest ever senior player at the age of 16 years, seven months and nine days.

Memories of previous Magpie number nines came flooding back as the big centre forward supplied his best Les Ferdinand impression. 

Supplying a Ginolaesque cross for Rondon's fine second was Kenedy; the Venezuelan coming close to a memorable hat-trick in his battering-ram performance.
