Following successive away wins - 4-1 at Everton and 4-0 at Bolton - United held a one goal lead at half time, but a lack of vigour antagonised their own fans.

Things were no better after the break and a late brace from Forest forward Enoch West gave the visitors both points.

Following a narrow 2-1 win at Burnden Park for Newcastle in the season opener, another tight tussle with the Trotters unfolded on Tyneside.

Bolton went ahead through a first minute free kick conversion and threatened more goals before Colin Veitch and Billy Hibbert combined for Jock McTavish to equalise.

United's winner came in fading light, when inside left George Wilson's speculative shot was diverted byond his own 'keeper by Wanderers' half-back Jimmy Fay.

"Extremely fluky" wrote the Chronicle.

A sensational opening to United's European adventure saw young winger Geoff Allen torment the Dutch league leaders down the left flank - his finest outing for the Magpies.

His centre set up Jimmy Scott for the opener before a long-range Wyn Davies effort came back off the crossbar for Pop Robson to dive full-length and head the rebound home.

Scott then turned provider on the stroke of half time, making progress down the right and finding Tommy Gibb whose shot was deflected in by visiting defender Marinus Israel.

The mighty Wyn then ended his own personal goal famine with a far post header from Scott's right wing centre. What a night.

Bobby Robson's first game in charge of Newcastle United saw him given a fine ovation by both sets of fans as he made his way to the visitors dugout at Stamford Bridge before kick-off. 

The Magpies salvaged some much-needed pride with a battling display and only succumbed to a dodgy penalty award. 

However, one point from the first seven games left us one off the bottom above Sheffield Wednesday, our next opponents....

A remarkable turnout witnessed the final hurrah of the Entertainers era at SJP, as Steve Harper brought down the curtain on his 20-year career as a Newcastle United player.

Sadly for him though, his cast of former colleagues couldn't find a goal during 80 minutes against their Italian foes - and then failed from the penalty spot, leaving the Rossoneri to claim the silverware.

In the absence of memorable moments from Shearer & Co, much attention was devoted to a certain 45 year old mackem dweller who formerly plied his trade at the San Siro.

A sprightly Paolo Di Canio played the part of pantomime villain and was booed throughout, suffering from the close attentions of Joey Barton at one point - to the great delight of those present.

Newcastle's 1000th Premier League coincided with the much-hyped return of Cristiano Ronaldo to English football.

Despite the scoreline, the Magpies were very much in the contest when Javier Manquillo equalised but Ronaldo's second goal gave the home side renewed impetus.

Freddie Woodman's fumble gifted Ronaldo the opener and this proved to be the goalkeeper's final game for Newcastle.
