Defeat at Craven Cottage extended United's losing start to the season to four games.

Two down at the break, Jimmy Richardson got one back before netting the rebound when Sam Weaver's penalty was saved.

The hosts were left enraged when Alan Suddick headed in a 13th minute cross from Trevor Hockey, only for the referee to rule that the scorer had impeded Shay Brennan.

Goalkeeper Gordon Marshall then made a gift of a George Best cross that David Herd tapped in to put the reigning champions ahead.

Jim Iley then dwelt on the ball and gifted the visitors a second goal, Denis Law finding a gap between two defenders on the goal line.

And despite strenuous efforts, all the home side had to show was a Stan Anderson cross headed past David Gaskell by Hockey. 

This was the first time that Best faced Newcastle in a senior team game, although he'd previously come up against the Magpies in the FA Youth Cup.  

A sanguine Joe Harvey commented afterwards that, "the boys gave their utmost, so I can't saw a thing in criticism. If a man does his best he can do no more."

Without both John Tudor and David Craig due to injury, Joe Harvey fielded Keith Robson and Irving Nattrass.

Oh dear. Best forgotten methinks... Not a good day either for the member of the local constabulary who almost started a riot by spitting on Newcastle fans from the front of the home section above. The provocation? He'd instructed a Newcastle fan to turn round and watch the game to which the fan had replied, "This isn't a game, it's a massacre."  

Years of humourless coppers treating away fans like scum captured in a nutshell....

2003 Discarded mackem misfit Daniele Dichio scored twice at a damp Hawthorns, consigning United's young Premier reserve side to a second defeat in a week.

Fielding a side of which only Lomana LuaLua and Darren Ambrose had tasted first team action, the Magpies were up against not only Dichio but the in-form Lee Hughes, returning from injury. Albion ran out 3-1 winners. Hughes now has form of a different sort....
