Following a 1-5 loss away to Liverpool the previous week, Newcastle returned to winning ways against the other Magpies.

Having scored on his debut at Gallowgate a fortnight earlier, 18 year-old Andy Aitken struck what was to be the only competitive hat-trick in a Magpies career spanning over a decade and almost 350 games.

"There was nothing very interesting in the game" asserted The Liverpool Courier.

Trailing 0-2 just before half-time, United almost immediately pulled one back to begin what would be a memorable revival.
 
Ex-mackem goalkeeper Ronald Brebner then missed a header from James Stewart as United drew level. Stewart then walked the winner into an unguarded net after Brebner was left stranded off his line.

The start of a purple patch for Birmingham striker Joe Bradford who registered another hat trick against Blackburn Rovers the following Saturday - and in between grabbed five for the Football League against their Irish League counterparts. 

Some contemporary newspaper reports gave Newcastle's goal as a John Randle own goal.

A week on from losing 1-4 at Ibrox, United recovered to record an aggregate win in the concluding part of a two-legged unofficial challenge between the English and Scottish FA Cup holders.

An away support of several hundred came by rail and the Edinburgh Evening News reported that "some of the excursionists were inclined to be resentful of their humiliating experience and lively scenes marked the departure of the train for Glasgow".

Team: McInroy, Nelson, Fairhurst, MacKenzie, Betton, Weaver, Boyd, Murray, Allan, McMenemy, Lang.

The Staffordshire Sentinel reported that, "Amusement was caused when a little black terrier escaped and ran on to the field. After being caught and taken off it returned, and the game had to be stopped again while the dog was removed a second time."

Defeat at the Den left United languishing 22nd in the second tier - the lowest-ever league position in the club's history.

There was a forgettable debut for loan striker Andy Walker, who was obviously unfit when signed from Celtic.

Ossie Ardiles included him in our starting XI anyway and he was inevitably substituted, although the Manager pointed the blame at his goalkeeper Pavel Srnicek for another failure to deal with a dead ball situation - resulting in Paul Kerr's late winner.

David Wetherall went into referee Paul Allcock's book in the first 30 seconds after clattering Peter Beardsley.

Carlton Palmer failed to heed that warning though and saw red after 35th and 39th minute cautions - the latter for a challenge on Alan Shearer, who got up and moaned at the whistler before Palmer was dismissed.

Recently-installed Leeds boss George Graham was predictably unimpressed and even less chuffed when Beardsley and Robert Lee set up Shearer for the only goal of the game.

2006 Following our defeat at Anfield the previous evening, Newcastle coach Terry McDermott revealed details of his face-off with Craig Bellamy:

"I was talking to the referee at the edge of the tunnel when Bellamy appeared on the scene and suddenly started calling me names.

"I thought he was just joking and I put my arm around him, but he kept on calling me names and that's when it all kicked off.

"I had my say and when he got to the top of the stairs he started shouting at me again, but of course he had security guys around him.

"I was talking to the referee. It had nothing to do with anyone else and I take exception to little upstarts like him.

"I do not like it when people like to think they are bigger than clubs.

"When he was at Newcastle he thought he was a big cheese. When he went to Blackburn he caused trouble there and everywhere he has been he has been in bother and it is all starting again at Liverpool.

"There was no need for it at all and he was 100 per cent out of order."

2008 Confirmation was received that Newcastle striker Andy Carroll had been cautioned, but it was slightly more serious than the onfield yellow card variety.

A Northumbria police spokesperson said: 

"On Sunday 14 September police were called to the Pudding Chare to a report that a woman had been assaulted. Officers attended and a 19-year-old man was arrested and later accepted a police caution for assault."

2009 The reserves made it three games unbeaten on their return to the Central League, but only with a hefty slice of luck.

Trailing 0-1 to Lincoln City at Whitley Park with seconds left, Imps defender Danny Hone headed Frank Danquah's centre past his own 'keeper Paul Musselwhite.

2018 It was just one win in six league games for United's second string after they were beaten 1-2 by Norwich City at their Colney training ground.

A top-flight win over Brighton continued to elude United, this a fifth unsuccessful attempt to beat the Seagulls.

Such was the poorness of United's play for 75 minutes though that they barely deserved a point and Albion must have wondered just how they failed to win at Gallowgate for a second season in a row.

There was a second debut for Andy Carroll, arriving from the bench.
