Injury saw the hosts without centre half Frank Barson, but such was Newcastle's domination that most observers didn't reckon that it would have mattered.

The "Athletic News" reporter was rather smitten with the victors:

"In these days of frantic striving for league points it is an unexpected and welcome pleasure to witness a team capable of winning a match convincingly without subordinating scientific combination and individual skill to the dashing and often aimless methods which apparently constitute the make-up of most league teams today."

Newcastle were on the back foot at Kenilworth Road as early as the fifth minute, when Jimmy Scoular was harshly adjudged to have handled a cross in his box.

And things got no better until the closing stages, with the Hatters even more dominant that their four goal lead after 50 minutes might suggest and United hanging on.

The game was captured on film, with a helicopter used to transport the footage for transmission in that evening's BBC "Sports Special" TV programme.

After making his first team debut two days previously, Gordon Hughes broke his leg in this testimonial at Cappielow Park, Greenock in a tackle with Tommy Orr - the testimonial beneficiary.

Youngster Alan Spears appeared in his place but was never called into competitive senior action during his time as a Magpie.

Team: Simpson, Keith, Batty, Keery, Stokoe, Crowe, Hughes (Spears 30), Davies, Milburn, Hannah, Evans.

1956 There was also an injury blow for the Central League side in their away game at Stoke City, with 17 year-old winger Joe Thewlis breaking his collar bone.

The Magpies drew 2-2 thanks to goals from George Lackenby and Bill Curry.

An exceptional game, with Newcastle recovering from a 0-2 deficit to draw level by half time.

A thunderbolt from Albert Franks then put the hosts ahead before Reg Davies shot through 'keeper Bill Robertson's legs to make it 5-3.

An injury to Gordon Hughes saw him leave the field - a major blow in these pre-substitute days - and after Chelsea got one back, Ron Tindall levelled and then won it late on. 

First Magpies goalkeeper Stewart Mitchell's attempted throw to Bob Stokoe bounced off his back and into the path of Tindall before the striker headed home the winner.

0-6 losers away at West Bromwich Albion the previous Monday, another poor United display prompted slow hand claps from malcontented fans.

The Sunday Sun were equally unimpressed by what they saw, dubbing the docile hosts "Mitten's kittens."

Ex-Magpie George Hannah was on target for the visitors who could have won by a greater margin: Terry Marshall's goal a miscued cross that caught out visiting custodian Bert Trautmann.

1960 Things were no better for Newcastle reserves, beaten 1-7 by the Citizens at Maine Road. John Mitten got United's goal.

A wonderful day began with physio Derek Wright accepting Kevin Keegan's latest Manager of the Month award. 

United played Mike Hooper in goal in the absence of suspended Pavel Srnicek, with veteran John Burridge on the bench. 

An early rocket from Cole was equalised by former Magpie Gavin Peacock before Robert Lee saw a penalty saved. Fortunately Fox was on hand to knock in the rebound. 

Finally, Dennis Wise was sent off for saying nasty things to the referee's assistant. Once a little sh*t, always a little sh*t....

Kevin Keegan went for the jugular, dropping defender Robbie Elliott in order to add Tino Asprilla to a forward line consisting of Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Peter Beardsley and David Ginola.

The United boss commented afterwards that: 

"We had three, and sometimes two, at the back, and five up front. The only thing that was missing was a goalkeeper with a woolly jersey and a flat cap!"

1997 David Batty and Les Ferdinand (by then a Spurs player) joined former Magpie Paul Gascoigne in the England line-up as Moldova were beaten 4-0 at Wembley. 

Meanwhile, in Tbilisi, United's Temuri Ketsbaia helped Georgia hold Italy to a 0-0 draw, meaning England would qualify for France 98 if they could get a point in Rome.

2009 The Serious Fraud Office announced an investigation into suspected criminal price fixing and fraud at Britain's two largest sports retailers: JJB and Mike Ashley's Sports Direct.

The investigation followed a referral from the Office of Fair Trading, which had been probing the businesses since the turn of the year.

There was better news, meanwhile, for Chris Hughton who picked up the August Manager of the Month award for the Championship.

2012 A week before United's next game, two players returned to Tyneside with injuries sustained during international training.

Fabricio Coloccini reported a hamstring problem while with Argentina and further bad news came when Tim Krul suffered an elbow injury during a training session with the Netherlands.
