U18s:
Pompey punished
Newcastle U18s 5 Portsmouth U18s 2
United U18s comprehensively defeated
Portsmouth in the
FA Youth Cup
Third Round on Tuesday evening, with winger Matheos Ferreira
grabbing a
hat-trick.
Two goals from Michael Mills in the opening nine minutes
put the young Magpies firmly in control at Whitley Park.
His first came just 30 seconds after the opening whistle, firing into the top corner and
he got his second eight minutes later with a low shot inside the
post.
Pompey got one back in the 19th minute through Tayo Singerr
after Ferreira was dispossessed in his own half.
Ferreira made amends in the 41st minute though with a fine finish,
lifting the ball over 'keeper Oscar Glover after being put through by Rory Finneran.
He got his second five minutes into the second period when Mills
slotted the ball through and Ferreira finished well inside
the far post.
Ferreira then completed his hat-trick sliding in to finish Seldon's
pass with 17 minutes left.
Brandon Downey hit Pompey's second of the game in the closing
stages.
17 year-old Ferreira becomes the first Magpie to claim a hat-trick
in this competition since Dylan Stephenson did so against Leeds
United back in 2021.
Team: Mair, Patterson, Johnson, Moran, Durrant (Goodbrand
68), Finneran (M.Taylor 81), Alabi (M.Miley 68), Ferreira, Mills (Seldon
62), O'Donovan (Pinnington 75), Wooster.

Newcastle now enjoy home advantage in the Fourth Round, hosting
Crystal Palace on a date to be confirmed on or before Saturday
24.01.2026.
Speaking after the win, coach Chris Moore said:
“The thing with Matheos (Ferreira) is he has
loads of ability and loads of cutting edge - but he did his bit for
the team as well. He did a really good job for the team, he worked
really hard and he did all of that side of it. Then that’s a good
platform for him to show his attacking bits.
"He scored different goals tonight, he ran in behind, he carried the
ball really well and then the last goal, he’s got in at the back
post, you have to gamble, put that work in, get up the pitch and get
in the middle when you might not get it and he’s done that and got
his rewards.
"It’s really good for the lads, it’s good experiences and good
for their development. The big thing about going through is you get
more of them and they get a little bit bigger each time.
"That was a tricky tie tonight, we’ve got through with that one and
then we have a tough one against Crystal Palace, who are doing well
in their league, so that should be a good occasion as well.”
U21s:
Stiffs out after stalemate
FC Halifax Town 0 Newcastle U21s 0
(FC Halifax Town win 7-6 on pens)
Newcastle's U21 side concluded their National League Cup
group stage on Tuesday night with a goalless draw at The Shay,
losing the subsequent penalty shootout.
Needing to defeat hosts FC Halifax
Town to reach the knockout stages at their expense, a strangely
cautious display from United never looked liked producing a goal
until Magpie defender Miodrag Pivas shook the crossbar with an 88th
minute shot following a corner.
The hosts also struck the goal frame, though Jay Turner-Cooke's
long-distance free kick on 69 minutes. The former Magpie then burst
into the box only to theatrically tumble over in a failed attempt at
winning a penalty kick.
Newcastle's failure to take three points from the tie then made the
shootout for the extra point entirely academic.
Alfie Harrison, Ben Parkinson, Scott Bailey, Charlie McArthur, Dylan
Charlton and Cathal Heffernan converted, but home custodian
Nathaniel Ford denied
Joe Brayson and Darren Palmer while Ciaran Thompson hit the bar.
United's James Taylor was equal to efforts from David Kawa and Cody
Johnson but couldn't prevent Zak Emmerson from slotting home the
eighteenth penalty of the evening.
Team: J.Taylor, C.Thompson, Heffernan, McArthur, Fitzgerald (Charlton
80), Munda (Al.Harrison 59),
Bailey, Pivas, Seung-soo (Palmer 67), Parkinson, Neave (Brayson 67).
Subs n/u: Jones, Watts, Yildiz.
Booked: McArthur, Al.Harrison.
FCHT: Ford, Almi-Adetoro, Capello (Kawa 80), Devonport (Emmerson
80), Jenkins, C.Johnson, Latty-Fairweather, Mills, Tarima (Sutcliffe
90+2), Turner-Cooke (Cummings 90+2), Wright (Harris 62). Sub n/u: S.Johnson.
Referee: Callum Jones
Crowd: 246.
This was the second time that the two sides have met in this
competition, Newcastle recording a 2-1 win last year.

U18s:
Boro bairns beaten
Newcastle U18s 2 Boro U18s 1
Newcastle's youngsters bounced back from last weekend's
disappointing defeat at Manchester United to record their fourth
successive home victory, seeing off a disappointing Boro side at
Little Benton on Saturday.
Ahead at the break thanks to a 24th minute shot from Alfie Seldon
that took him on to five goals for the season, the Magpies were then
boosted by a red card for the visitors.
Barely two minutes of the second half had passed when Lucas Harrison
picked up his second booking of the game; United soon taking
advantage of their numerical advantage when Matty Taylor looped a
header home.
The Teesiders gained a belated foothold in the game when former
Magpie junior Will Haslehurst fired past George Mair in the third
minute of time added on, but thankfully had no opportunity to steal
a point before the final whistle.
Team: Mair, Patterson, Durrant, Old (Moran 46), Johnson,
M.Miley, Pinnington, M.Taylor, Hutchison (Lucas 78), O'Donovan

On This Day in History |

17th December |

Born Or Died:
1933
George Luke born, Newcastle.
(1950-53 & 1959-61)

Outside left who joined United after making an impression
playing for Newcastle Boys - although he failed to make it out of the reserve
side before moving to Hartlepools.
Becoming a regular scorer for the Victoria Ground side, Newcastle paid £4,000
to bring George back to SJP in October 1959.
Making his senior team debut at Fulham shortly after, he marked his first home
game with a goal in an 8-2 win over Everton.
However, the legacy of an injury sustained while at Hartlepool robbed George of
the pace he possessed earlier in his career.
Succeeding Bobby Mitchell for a time, Luke found his place under threat by both
Mitch and manager Charlie Mitten's son, John.
Losing out to both Liam Tuohy and Albert Scanlon for the number 11
shirt, Luke left United for the second time in January 1961, joining Darlington
for £2,500.
A plumber by trade, he later turned out for South Shields and opened a carpet
shop in the Tyneside suburb of Forest Hall.
George passed away in March 2010.
1962 Paul Dobson born, Hartlepool.
(1979)
Striker who featured at junior level for the
Magpies but joined hometown side Hartlepool United
following his release.
An opportunity to show Newcastle what they'd missed came
in January 1980 when Paul's current and previous sides
were paired in the FA Youth Cup - and he scored once as
'Pools triumphed 3-0.
Handed his senior debut in 1982, dobson made over 100 appearances for
'Pools in two spells separated by playing for Horden Colliery.
Later moves took Dobson on to Torquay United, Doncaster Rovers, Scarborough, Halifax Town
(loan), Hereford United (loan), Lincoln City and Darlington.
He then joined Gateshead before ending his playing days with Spennymoor United.
Living in Newton Aycliffe, Paul worked as a welder. 1966 Kevin Scott born,
Easington, Durham. (1984-94)
Central defender who
joined United after having been released as a youngster by the smoggies and
came to prominence in our 1985 FA Youth Cup winning side.
Given his chance in the first team by Willie McFaul early in the 1986/87
season, Scott netted on his debut - a 2-3 home loss to Sheffield Wednesday.
Playing alongside his former junior colleagues such as Paul Gascoigne, Ian
Bogie, Gary Kelly, Paul Stephenson and Joe Allon, Kevin was to outlast the lot
of them at SJP.
Becoming a regular under both Jim Smith and Ossie Ardiles, Scott was made club
captain and survived the arrival of Kevin Keegan to appear in the Premier
League for United, before being deemed sold on.
Rejoining Ossie Ardiles at Spurs in an £800K move during February 1994, Scott failed to become a regular at
White Hart Lane and was loaned out to Port Vale following the arrival of Gerry
Francis.
Subsequent loan spells at
Charlton Athletic and Norwich City then led to Kevin joining the Canaries permanently
in 1997.
He later appeared for Darlington, where a knee problem saw him
forced to retire from the full-time game.
Scott then dropped into non-league circles with Guisborough Town and
Crook Town, also coaching at Boro's Academy.
1975
Graham Stokoe born, Chester-le-Street.
(1990-94)
Midfielder with United from the age
of 11, signing YTS forms in February 1990 amid interest
from Aston Villa, Boro and Manchester United.
A distant relative of former Magpie Bob Stokoe, Graham had
played youth football for Hilda Park under the guidance of
SJP old boy Irving Nattrass.
Stokoe made his reserve bow against Everton in August 1993
- a 1-0 victory at Goodison Park - but was released by
United at the end of that season.
Playing for Burnley reserves as a trialist, a free
transfer move to Stoke City followed and almost
immediately he found himself on the bench as the Potters
won 3-1 away to Udinese in the Anglo Italian Cup.
Loans at Newcastle Town and Atherstone United followed,
before a temporary return to the North East with
Hartlepool United saw him make a senior debut in
1996.
Recalled by Stoke, Graham played for the Potters in the
same side as future Magpie Andy Griffin but was again
sidelined by injury after just two substitute outings.
Released in 1998 he signed permanently for Hartlepool but
left after a season that was interrupted by injury and
illness.
Stokoe later played for Blyth Spartans.
1983 Richard Offiong born, South
Shields.
(1999-04)
Coming through Newcastle's Academy alongside
fellow forward Michael Chopra, both played
for England at U20 level and scored a
combined 44 goals for their U19 club side
during 2001/02.
Richard was the first of the duo to be
blooded in senior football, sent on loan to
fourth tier Darlington in November 2002 and
scoring four times in his first five
outings.
However that good start didn't continue and
by March 2003 he'd been recalled from the
Quakers and joined Motherwell on loan.
Failing to find the net in Scotland, Offiong's next port of
call the following season was a brief
posting at York City.
Released by Newcastle at the end of the
2003/04 season, Richard began a
global tour that included Patro
Maasmechelen (Belgium), Istanbulspor AK
(Turkey) and Chunnam Dragons (South Korea)
before signing for Doncaster Rovers in 2005.
That proved to be short-lived but his next
destination was rather more permanent - a
three season stay at Hamilton Academical
that included one top-flight campaign.
Making a £75,000 move to Carlisle United ahead of
the 2009/10 season, Offiong later featured for Ostersunds
(Sweden) (loan), Darlington (trial),
Carlisle United, Gateshead and Australian
side Oakleigh Cannons.
A stint at Blyth Spartans in 2011 was cut
short after he moved to Malaysia. However he
announced his retirement soon after - aside
from an abortive comeback at Durham City two
years later.
Richard later played an active role within
Tyneside-based charity Show Racism The Red
Card.
1991 Death of Ron Starling, 82.
(1930-32)

The Champions for the previous two seasons
conceded half a dozen goals to the new pretenders - Peter
McWilliam's long-range effort the pick of the six.
Northumberland Miners Association Secretary Ralph Young
attended but passed away before kick-off."...his conversation
suddenly ceased and he died where he sat"
according to one report.
1910 Nottingham Forest
(h)
4-1 (0-1)
Division One
P17, 18pts, 7th/20
Shepherd(48,58,67,78)
Lockett(28)
15,000
Without Colin Veitch, Bill McCracken, Peter McWilliam
and Tony Whitson, United were a goal down at the interval
- only to rally spectacularly during the second
period.
Albert Shepherd had netted a hat-trick at home to Bradford
City a fortnight earlier, but went one better against
Forest.
1921 Aston Villa (h)
1-2 (1-1)
Division One
P19, 20pts, 10th/22
Mooney(27)
Walker(30), Dickson(63)

Division One
P19, 22pts, 4th/22
McDonald(33)
Watson(27),
Forward(43), Cook(78)
20,000
The SJP pitch had a layer of snow on it and
United were without Alf Maitland either side of
half-time after being taken off unconscious.
He returned
on the hour but couldn't prevent another United defeat
as they were in the middle of a winless run of a dozen
games.
1932 Derby County (h)
0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P18, 21pts, 6th/22
23,000

0-1 (0-1)
Division One
P20, 20pts, 13th/22
Clarke(3)
30,455

Eric Garbutt staying on his line as Jack Froggatt crossed
for Ike Clarke to net.

Barrow side.
1960
Preston North End (h) 0-0 (0-0)
Division One
P22, 17pts, 16th/22
21,514
After seeing United and West Ham share ten goals at SJP the previous week,
an extra 1,400 spectators turned out for this bore draw. The point left United in 16th spot.
1966
Aston Villa (h)
0-3 (0-1)
Division One
P21, 14pts, 20th/22
Bradley(17), Scott(50), Chatterly(56)
25,406
The final straw for Joe Harvey, as United's perilous
position at the bottom of the league demanded drastic
squad-altering measures.
Alan Suddick played his final game, being
sacrificed to provide funds for Dave Elliott, John McNamee
and Tommy Robson.
1969
Southampton (h)
0-0
(0-0)
Fairs Cup 3rd Round 1st Leg
38,163
The winning run in home Fairs Cup ties
ended, partly due to the early departure of former Magpie
John McGrath with a broken cheekbone following a challenge
by Wyn Davies.
After this blow, the Saints withdrew back into defence
and successfully played out a draw.
1977 Wolverhampton
Wanderers (h)
4-0 (2-0)
Division One
P19, 12pts, 20th/22
Nattrass(16), Mitchell(35), T.Craig(57), Cassidy(61)
22,982
A third successive win raised hopes of beating the drop, although Bill
McGarry's side were still in the bottom three.
Sadly just one more league win in the whole season followed and United were
relegated.
1983 Brighton &
Hove Albion (a)
1-0 (0-0)
Division Two
P19, 38pts, 3rd/22
Waddle(51)

Brock(8), O'Neill(65,89)
Le Tissier(16,28),
Rod Wallace(54)
20,103
Two goals from Matthew Le Tissier looked to put the
Saints on the way to a comfortable win, but substitute
Michael O'Neill got one back then supplied an equaliser in
the final seconds.

1994
Coventry City (a)
0-0
(0-0)
Premier League
P19, 38pts, 3rd/22
17,237
In the final minutes of a tepid encounter at Highfield
Road, striker Paul Kitson tumbled in the box and
the referee somewhat charitably pointed to the penalty
spot.
With United's usual spot kick taker Peter Beardsley
off the pitch, a
clearly reluctant Andy Cole eventually stepped up - only to see his effort saved by
Steve Ogrizovic.
1995 United
striker Malcolm Allen announced his retirement from
professional football, after a number of operations on his
injured knee and abortive comebacks.
Apparently, Allen
knew his career was over when caught by a
middle-aged Durham
taxi driver after trying to do a runner. He later appeared in court and was fined.
1996 Coventry City (a)
1-2 (0-2)
Premier League
P17, 30pts, 4th/20
Shearer(61)
Huckerby(6), McAllister(31)
21,538
A midweek loss at Highfield Road saw ex-Magpie Darren Huckerby
open his Sky Blues account in his fourth game since leaving SJP in a £1m transfer. Typical.
1997
Derby County (h)
0-0 (0-0)
Premier League
P17, 26pts, 9th/20
36,289
The highlight of this drab midweek encounter was the
dismissal of Stefano Eranio, after the Rams midfielder didn't take kindly to
Philippe Albert helping him to
his feet - by the ears.
2001 Not a good
night for the Reserves at Kingston Park as the mackems won 4-2.
Tommy English and Colin McMenamin
had got it back to 2-3 after Kevin Kyle (2) and Butler put the visitors 3-0 up in the first half hour.
However, when their substitute Marchant got their fourth, it was
game over.

Kick-off was delayed by half an hour due
to an accident on the A13, but Michael Owen made up for lost time when
latching on to Alan Shearer's knock-on and shooting
past Roy Carroll.
The next one came off his shoulder and finally Owen
claimed his hat trick in front of the away fans with just
seconds left.
Owen's treble was our first on the road
in the top flight since Chris Waddle dazzled Bobby Robson on the plastic
at QPR's Loftus Road in an incredible 5-5 draw back in 1984.
This was a suitably memorable occasion to mark the passing of the Football Pink.

Final.
Rookie 'keeper Jak Alnwick had a night to forget but was powerless to
prevent the crucial second goal from the home side, just 36 seconds
