Having put Newcastle ahead only for the visitors to quickly equalise, Tom McDonald missed the target with a penalty kick.

However United regained the lead when Hughie Gallacher's header rebounded off the underside of the crossbar and Stan Seymour returned it into the net.

Bob McKay then made sure of the victory with a fine individual goal, "the master craftsman" in the words of one reporter outsmarting three defenders before beating 'keeper Jack Bell.

Lacking Sammy Weaver due to a thigh injury, United had an early scare when Dixie Dean netted but was promptly ruled offside.

Tommy Lang then set up Jimmy Richardson to shoot the home side ahead, only for Dean to level with ten minutes remaining.

And the reigning league champions won it soon after, when Dean left a centre for Jimmy Stein to fire past goalkeeper Mick Burns.

Debut at centre half for Bill Thompson. Legend has it that after the match United directors made Jimmy Greaves a substantial offer to come to SJP, but he preferred to try his luck in Italy.

Malcolm Macdonald's Cottagers side were looking for a third successive SJP win but one of the most entertaining games of the promotion season ended in a home win.

That hardly looked likely with just three minutes to play, but substitute David Mills drove in at the Leazes End to level the scores, before Kenny Wharton forced the ball over the line in added time, amid great celebrations.

Future Mags Kevin Brock, Wayne Fereday and Gavin Maguire all appeared for an R's side, managed by Jim Smith. Within a month, he'd become Newcastle boss.

After the midweek UEFA Cup exit in Bilbao, United enjoyed some home comforts thanks to goals from a new-look front pairing.

Peter Beardsley's exquisite bicycle kick put the Magpies ahead after he had jumped over Paul Kitson's shot - as the recent arrival struck his first league goal for the club.

Rangers looked a better prospect in the second half when Gerry Francis paired Danny Dichio with Les Ferdinand.

2008 Quotes from Keith Harris of Seymour Pierce (not the bloke with the green duck), handling the sale of Newcastle United:

"We have two very serious contenders to buy it. We have had Nigerians that don't exist, and South Africans told by the media they were bidding. 

"The truth of the matter is that the phone has rung several times, frequently because I have made the calls - but they have reacted to them.

"It is not easy doing anything in this world whether it's selling a football club or anything else, but it will come through.

"It's not been a question of dropping the price from that level. It's been a question of making sure people have the absolute facts.

"Mike (Ashley) wants to get a maximum price but he also wants to make sure that it goes into hands that will look after it and nurture it for the future."

A third successive league win propelled United to the dizzy heights of second spot.

A first home win over the Toffees in three attempts came through John Heitinga's early own goal and a spectacular dipping effort from boyhood Liverpool fan Ryan Taylor.

Sloppy defending allowed future mackem Jack Rodwell to net but a solid second half display from Fabricio Coloccini and Steven Taylor (the latter clad in a protective face mask) helped claim a deserved victory.
