Champions League :
PSG (a) supporter info
NUFC have published guidance for fans heading to Paris for next
week's Champions League tie, echoing what was published for
November 2023's visit to Parc de Princes.
Find that
online
here
The advice is again to only use the Porte de Saint-Cloud Metro
station on line 9 and a reminder that Paris Metro travel isn't
included with match tickets for away fans.
A minimum 30
minute post-match hold-back is forecast, which proved accurate
in terms of exiting the stadium in 2023. However, it then took
at least as long again to be funnelled through a half-open gate
on to the street.
Update:
David Young RIP
We're sad to report that former Magpie David Young has
died at the age of 80, following a dementia diagnosis.
The Tyneside-born midfielder enjoyed an extended run in the
club's reserve side after debuting during September 1964 -
making over 100 appearances and becoming captain.
Making his senior bow in a 2-1 friendly win over Hibernian at
Gallowgate in March 1968, David had to wait until January 1970
for a competitive appearance. That came in the Fairs Cup, as
United drew 1-1 with Southampton at the Dell.
A regular starter
the following season, the first of Young's two goals
came in a 2-1 victory at Derby County, but he struggled to
regain a place in the side after an injury in October 1971 and
was transfer-listed the following May.
No move followed though and fitness problems in the senior squad
saw David played in both defence and midfield during the opening
months of the following season.
What proved to be his 56th and final appearance came in a 0-3
home League Cup defeat to Blackpool in October 1972, completing
a switch to Roker Park alongside Ron Guthrie for a combined fee
of £35,000 in early January 1973.
An unused substitute for the mackems in their FA Cup
Final success later that year, Young later played for both
Charlton Athletic and Southend United before ending his playing
days at non-league Dartford.

Carabao Cup:
Man City (a)
ticket update 
Monday saw NUFC announce a further points reduction in respect of
ticket sales for the Carabao Cup Semi-final second leg away at
Manchester City.
Over 1,500 places were unsold when sales closed at 4pm on Friday
to those applying with 23 points of more. That was reduced to 10
points and later updated to 6 points.
For clarification, only fans who applied but didn't meet the
original points criteria (or were successful in the ballot) are now
eligible to purchase and will be contacted by NUFC giving them the
opportunity to do so.
Toon fans are housed in the South Stand upper tier, which
has a published
capacity of 6,250 places.
Champions League:
PSV Eindhoven
(h)
Wednesday sees Newcastle in Champions League action, with the
penultimate one of their eight
first phase ties bringing last season's Dutch league winners to
Tyneside.
It's an 8pm kick-off.
The Magpies have 10 points from their opening six games, placing
them 12th in the 36 team league. The top eight qualify and the next
16 advance to a two-legged playoff -teams finishing ninth to 16th
seeded in that playoff and enjoying home advantage in the second
leg.
Hat sellers Football Bobbles will have a stall outside the Trent House pub from 5pm. Card payments accepted.
Team: Fabian Schar and Tino Livramento remain out, along with
Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth. News on the availability of
William Osula and Dan Burn is awaited, while it's presumed that
Jacob Murphy won't feature.
Bookings for Malick Thiaw or Joelinton would see them serve a one
game ban next week in Paris. Dan Burn is also in the same situation.
PSV:
Ismail Saibari and Anass Salah-Eddine were both in the Morocco squad
beaten in Sunday's AFCON Final. It remains to be seen whether either
feature at Gallowgate.
A 2-1 win at Fortuna Sittard on Saturday extended Peter Bosz's side's
lead at the top of the Eredivisie to 16 points, as they seek a third
successive title. PSV have now won 17 of their 19 league games, drawing
one and losing the other.
Six Champions League fixtures meanwhile have brought them eight points,
leaving them 21st in the table.
At home they lost 1-3 to Union SG, thumped Napoli 6-2 and went down
by the odd goal in five to Atletico Madrid. On the road, they drew
1-1 at Bayer Leverkusen and Olympiakos and memorably beat Liverpool
4-1 at Anfield.
Since a 2-3 loss at Go Ahead Eagles last March, PSV have remained
unbeaten away from home in all competitions - a run that currently
stands at 18 matches.
Referee: Daniel Siebert (Germany)
Six reds in the 16 games that this official has handled so far this
season, including one for the visitors in PSV's 6-2 home conquering
of Napoli.
Anyone looking for positives may note that the last twice that
Sierbert officiated a game involving Nick Woltemade (both in last
season's Bundesliga) the player scored.
VAR: Bastian Dankert (Germany)

Ex-Mag:
Ben
breaks Hearts
Following two Scottish Premier League outings from the bench for his
new club, ex-Magpie striker Ben Parkinson enjoyed a memorable
Scottish Cup debut on Saturday.
Introduced at half time in the Fourth Round tie at Hearts when it
was 0-0, the 20 year-old scored his first senior career goal from
close range to put the Bairns ahead.
Hearts then levelled to force extra time during which there was no
further scoring, sending the tie to a penalty shootout that Falkirk
won 5-4 after converting all five of theirs - Parky stepping up to
convert the clincher.
The game comes only a month after Ben's last experience in a
shootout, netting as Newcastle lost to AFC Halifax Town in the
National League Cup.

Update:
Training ground claim
The Mail newspaper have carried an exclusive story that
the Magpies are set to formally announce the location of
their eagerly-awaited training ground as Woolsington.
The site near Newcastle Airport will reportedly be developed
at an estimated cost of £200m, with work set to begin this
year and a two year timescale for completion.
Woolsington Hall and surrounding grounds were first
earmarked for club use over 30 years ago, then-Magpies
Chairman Sir John Hall purchasing it for a proposed Academy.
It's unclear who currently owns the proposed site, which was
at one point earmarked for housing development.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

On This Day in History |
|
20th January |
|
Born Or Died:
1947 Jimmy Smith
born, Glasgow, Scotland.
(1969-76)
Signed from Aberdeen in July 1969 at a cost of £80K, "Jinky"
rapidly became the darling
of the SJP fans with his wing wizardry, including his legendary
"nutmeg" trick.
Debuting the following month in a 0-1 loss at Sheffield Wednesday, Jimmy broke
his scoring duck in a 2-1 home win over Southampton the following February.
Plagued by injuries that would eventually force him into retirement at the age
of just 29, Smith's performance in a 3-0 FA Cup win against West Bromwich
Albion in February 1974 has gone down in legend.
Adding just three international caps to the one he'd gained at Pittodrie, Jimmy
played what proved to be his last first team game for the Magpies in March
1975.
Loaned to Celtic in an attempt to overcome his fitness issues, he failed to
play a game for the hoops and called time on his career.
Turning to taxi driving on Tyneside, Smith also appeared for non-league Whitley
Bay.
He suffered a heart-attack in later years but made a good recovery after
surgery.
1948 Graham Winstanley born, Croxdale.
(1964-69)
Defender who joined United junior ranks ahead of the 1964/65
season and signed professional forms in December 1965.
Wearing contact lenses on the field and glasses off it, "Tot"
made a senior debut in a 0-3 FA Cup defeat away to Nottingham Forest
during February 1967.
His finest Magpies display came in the away leg of the Fairs Cup tie with
Sporting Lisbon in October 1968, when he deputised for the injured John McNamee
and played his part in a 1-1 draw.
Making an £8,000 switch to Carlisle United in August, Graham went on to appear
in the top-flight for the Cumbrians, also netting the winning goal in a 3-2
Anglo Italian Cup success away to Roma.
After a spell at Brighton, Tot returned to Brunton Park in 1979, later managing
Penrith.
Living in Carlisle, he worked for an electrical wholesale company.
1965 Colin Calderwood born Stranraer, Scotland. (Coach,
2009-10)
Scottish international central defender who played for
Mansfield Town, Swindon Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest
and Notts County.
Always something of a thorn in our side with some strong arm tactics and
slyness off the ball, Colin netted Swindon's winner at the
County Ground in 1993.
His assault on Keith Gillespie for Spurs at White Hart
Lane in 1998 led to his confronting away fans,
something that nowadays would have landed him with an FA charge.
Coaching at Spurs after his retirement, Calderwood managed Northampton Town
between 2003 and 2006.
Succeeding Gary Megson at Nottingham Forest, he gained promotion to the
Championship in 2008 but was sacked midway through the following season.
Calderwood moved to SJP in January 2009 and quickly found himself as interim
manager Chris Hughton's number two, following the unexpected hospitalisation of
Joe Kinnear.
Remaining at the club when Alan Shearer took charge - although with no defined
role - Calderwood was officially named assistant boss when Chris Hughton took the job permanently in October 2009.
However, he left in October 2010 - a clear signal that Hughton's time at SJP was limited.
Calderwood took charge of ailing SPL side
Hibernian and started with three losses before a 3-0 win at Ibrox over
Rangers.
Results remained poor though and Colin was dismissed in November 2011, winning
just 12 of his 49 games in charge.
Further managerial reunions with Hughton then followed at Birmingham City,
Norwich City and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Leaving the Seagulls during 2016, he assisted Steve Bruce at Aston Villa -
following him out of Villa Park in 2018.
Serving as Cambridge United manager until January 2020, Calderwood reappeared that October on the
Blackpool coaching staff, returning to Northampton Town as
assistant boss in June 2021.
October 2023 then saw him move
on to Championship side Southampton as first team coach under Russell Martin.
Colin left the Saints - by then back in the Premier League - when Martin was
sacked in January 2025 and inevitably returned to Northampton Town, this
time as Technical Director assisting Cobblers boss Kevin Nolan.
1971 Peter Garland born, Croydon, Surrey. (1992)
Former England youth international midfielder Garland arrived
from Spurs in March 1992 for £35,000 - reputedly bought as a contingency in
case United were relegated and lost the likes of Gavin Peacock.
He made just a solitary senior competitive appearance for Spurs - replacing Paul Gascoigne in
a league defeat at Norwich City in April 1991.
Garland only managed three outings in our colours, all of which
were as a substitute.
After debuting in a home loss to Millwall, Garland came on against Leicester in
the infamous 2-1 Filbert Street victory.
His final appearance then saw him brought off the bench during a home victory over
Leicester City in the Anglo Italian Cup in September 1992.
Within two months Garland had returned to London with a £25K move to Charlton.
A brief loan spell at Wycombe Wanderers in 1995 was followed by a free transfer
switch to Leyton Orient the following season.
Moving into non-league with Crawley Town in 1997, Garland later appeared for Dulwich Hamlet, Croydon (where he'd begun
his career as a 15 year old) and Whyteleafe.
A second stint at Dulwich followed before a move to Erith Town. Next up was a
switch to Greenwich Borough, where Garland was made player/manager in 2006.
However, that proved to be only a fleeting appointment and after leaving Harrow
Meadow he dropped out of football.
1979 Death of Bill McCracken, nine days short of
his 96th birthday. (1904-23)
A Newcastle legend, famed for popularising the offside trap,
Bill won three League Championships and an FA Cup Winners' medal during his 19
years of service.
1982 Death of Benjamin Craig, 66. (1938-50,
1950-1982)
Joining the Magpies from Huddersfield Town in 1938, Benny
returned to SJP after serving in WW2 and resumed his playing career.
He later became a coach at Gallowgate, remaining on the club staff until his
death.
1997 James Atkinson born, South Shields.
(2013-15)
Central defender who began training with United aged 13 and
made his U18 debut in a 0-4 home defeat to Spurs in August 2012.
Winning a scholarship in 2013, injury limited Atkinson's
availability he managed only a handful of appearances over the following two
seasons.
Appearing the U21s in a friendly against non-league Heaton Stannington
in October 2014, James joined Team Northumbria on loan before
his release in 2015.
He later played for Washington, Whitley Bay and Easington Colliery.

Ahead early on when Bill Appleyard netted
"from a bully in the goalmouth", Jackie
Rutherford doubled the lead at a drizzly SJP.

the lead before Dilly claimed his second late on.

Premier League
P23, 54pts, 1st/20
Kitson(9), Beardsley(37)
Bergsson(19)
36,543
Paul Kitson's opening goal was a fine header in the mould of the
absent Les Ferdinand.
The Trotters were prompted by Scott Sellars (well received
by home fans) and levelled before Peter Beardsley hit a
typical winner to complete a century of Newcastle goals.
The three points sent United twelve points clear of their
Premiership pursuers - Liverpool and Manchester United
with Spurs a further point behind. All four teams had 15
games remaining.

Keane(2)
40,005
An unlikely win at high-flying Leeds, especially after
going behind after just two minutes. But Danny Mills
handled in the area moments later and Nobby Solano scored the penalty.
Clarence Acuna gave us the lead just before the break and
Shola Ameobi got the sucker punch in the final moments of
the game.

match report
2005 Rumours were rife about players moving to
Tyneside with one name featuring above all others - Willie
McKay.
The player's agent loomed large in proposed moves for
Amdy Faye and Sylvain Distin while another of his clients
Laurent Robert was rumoured to be leaving.
Oh, and the Anelka link kept rumbling on.

 2007

Premiership
P24, 30pts, 12th/20
Milner(45), Solano(53pen)
Cole(18), Harewood(22)
52,095
Newcastle preserved their
unbeaten league record for 2007, but after a shambolic
opening were grateful to the unlikely figure of
referee Uriah Rennie for a point.
Rennie overruled his linesman to allow United to get one
back on the stroke of half-time and then awarded a penalty
that future Hammer, Nobby Solano, duly converted.

match report
2009
Newcastle were held 1-1 in a
behind closed doors game by League
One Carlisle United.
Steven Taylor netted as he continued his comeback, with
Joe Barton and Geremi also playing.
A trio of trialists also appeared: Danish forward Peter Lovenkrands, Hungarian winger Andras Gosztonyi and Finnish left
back Jukka Raitala. Lovenkrands would join the club but
the other pair weren't retained.
2010
Newcastle confirmed the permanent
transfer of Manchester United full back Danny Simpson.
The 23 year-old defender had just ended his loan spell at
SJP, having made 22 starts in all competitions and scored
once.
Simpson was out of contract at Old Trafford, with a £750K
transfer fee and a two and a half year deal were claimed.
2014 Fresh from completing a league double over the
mackems, United beat them 4-0 in the
FA Youth Cup at SJP.
Striker Jonathyn Quinn led the way with a 28 minute hat
trick and Adam Armstrong also netted as 3,501 fans looked
on.
 2018
Manchester City (a)
1-3 (0-1)
Premier League
P24, 23pts, 15th/20
Murphy(67)
Aguero(34,63pen,83)
54,452
Newcastle's 21st successive failure to beat City in the Premier League
was hardly a shock, coming just three weeks after the
hosts had won at Gallowgate.
Jacob Murphy scored his first goal for the club but that
was the main positive apart from keeping the scoreline
down as Rafa's side ended the day in 15th position.

match report
2020 Ex-Spurs midfielder Nabil Bentaleb
was spotted on Tyneside as a loan move for the Algerian
international from Bundesliga side Schalke 04 moved
closer.
2023 Magpies striker Chris Wood made a loan move to
Nottingham Forest, which included an obligation to
purchase for an agreed fee claimed to be £15m.
