Pompey test set
Newcastle's U18 side have been handed a home tie in the Third Round
of this season's FA Youth Cup, Portsmouth making the
trip to Tyneside by Saturday December 13th.
Date, time and venue confirmation is awaited.
This is the fourth time these two sides have been paired in this
competition, the first a two-legged semi-final win for United en
route to lifting the cup in 1962. Trailing 0-1 from the first leg,
the Magpies then won 4-2 at Gallowgate.
The next two meetings both took place at Fratton Park; Newcastle 2-1
winners there in 2003 and 4-1 in 2016.

Photo record: last
copies
Having sold out
the original run, a limited reprint of the Seen.By
Carabao Cup special has now been produced, conveniently in time for the festive
season.
Seen.by is a softback publication covering the work of
a group of regional photographers. Issue 2 covered the events of March
16th 2025 capturing scenes at Covent Garden, Wembley and Tyneside,
plus the subsequent parade.
We had copies to give away, asking
whose record as the last then-current Magpie to score a goal for the
club at Wembley was ended by Dan Burn's memorable header in the Carabao Cup Final.
It was of course Rob Lee and
winners were randomly selected as Carol Huddart and Mick Maher.
If you weren't successful then you can still get the perfect stocking filler
for all Toon fans

for £15 including
P&P.
Premier League:
mackem (a) update
FAO anyone who has purchased a match ticket, tickets for
the optional return bus transfer will remain on sale
from NUFC until 5pm on Monday (November 17th).
NUFC confirm they have agreed a reciprocal away allocation of 2,528
places for both this and the return fixture at SJP.
Ticket transfers will not operate for this fixture.
Champions League:
Marseille (a) update
Update: any away ticket refund requests must be made to
NUFC before Wed 19.11.2025 @ 5pm.
Further guidance for fans travelling to Marseille has been
issued by NUFC and is available online now
here
In summary, away tickets will be in digital format but all fans
are required to assemble at a designated meeting point at 4.30pm
French time to be put onto Metros for the stadium - four and a half
hours before kick-off, at 9pm French time.
That meeting point is Place de la Joliette (pictured), a square
situated to the north of the old port area.
NUFC stress that any fans who fail to comply with that mandatory
advice and attempt to travel to the stadium independently will be
denied access (except for disabled fans, who have separate
arrangements).
NB: stadium regulations state that small power packs for mobiles can
be taken in - something that's worth noting, given that digital
ticketing will be in use.
The post-match plan is the same in reverse, with fans returned to
the Place de la Joliette by metro following a hold-back of
unspecified duration.
Agreement with these measures looks to have been a condition of
receiving an away allocation, Atalanta fans treated similarly in
OM's last home CL tie. Ajax meanwhile didn't receive any tickets
after the French authorities imposed a blanket travel ban on their
supporters.

city on
Thursday, with Newcastle United
named Team of the Year for their Carabao Cup Final success and

while academy prospect Les Yeutembip was selected as one of
11 Sport Newcastle Rising Stars.
Euro 2028:

Wednesday evening saw the launch of the 2028 European Championship
Finals, staged between June 9th and July 9th at nine venues across
the United Kingdom.
SJP is one of those, with five fixtures listed to be played
on Tyneside - four group stage games and one last 16 tie:

Tue 20.06.2028
Sun 25.06.2028

U21s:
Euro
tests for U21s
With no scheduled PL2 fixtures until January, Magpies U21 coach Adam
Lawrence and his side now focus on cup football, with action in two
different competitions.
Next week sees United play their first and second group stage games
in the Premier League International Cup, bringing Spanish and
French opposition to Tyneside.
Tuesday (18th) sees Real Sociedad visit Whitley Park for a
7pm kick-off, before PSG will provide the opposition at the
same venue on Friday (21st). That's also a 7pm start.
Admission details are awaited.
The Magpies conclude their Group C ties by hosting Croatia Zagreb in
December and Benfica in January.
The format of the 32 team competition means that none of the
16 Premier League
teams meet, but each host four continental sides.
Update:
World Cup event
As part of this year's Books on Tyne Festival, Guardian football
writer Jonathan Wilson is talking about his latest book,
"The Power and the Glory - A New History of the World Cup" in
Newcastle later this month.
Venue is Newcastle City Library on Friday November 28th
at 2pm and tickets are available now online

Internationals:
Old boy boosts DRC
Although still without Yoane Wissa, DR Congo's hopes of a first
World Cup Final appearance since 1974 persist, thanks to a 1-0
play-off semi-final victory over Cameroon.
Ex-Magpie Chancel Mbemba struck in the final seconds of the tie in
the Moroccan city of Rabat to set up a play-off against Nigeria this
coming Sunday.
The victors of that will represent Africa in a qualifying tournament
staged in the USA during the March international break - another
potential commitment for Wissa in addition to the African Cup of
Nations in December/January.

Book:
Belfast boy
Out now from Pitch Publishing is the definitive biography of United icon, Bill
McCracken, penned by renowned Magpies club historian Paul Joannou.
The Belfast-born defender served Newcastle for 15 seasons,
winning three titles and one FA Cup while generating headlines
worldwide for his revolutionary offside tactic.
Bill's life in football then extended for over half a century in
managerial and scouting roles, included that of transfer advisor to
Magpies supremo Stan Seymour in the 1950s.

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.
Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are

15th November |

Born Or Died:
1915 Archibald Livingstone
born, Pencaitland, Scotland. (1935-38)
 Learning
his trade as a slater and playing for junior side
Ormiston Primrose, Archie was spotted and signed up by
Dundee United.
Moving from Tannadice to SJP in March 1935, he enjoyed a
scoring debut in a 1-5 loss at Sheffield United in
November of that year but didn't retain his place in the
side.
A more regular starter by the end of the following
season, Livingstone began the 1937/38 campaign in good
form with three goals in the opening weeks.
Again however he lost his place and was allowed to move
on the following summer, Bury paying £500 for his
services.
Wartime football saw Archie guest for various clubs,
including Rochdale, Leeds United, York City, Liverpool,
Wrexham, Middlesbrough, Accrington Stanley, Brentford
and Fulham.
Post-war he appeared for Everton and Southport before a
stint as player/coach of Glenavon in Northern Ireland.
Ending his career with Dundee, Archie passed away in
August 1961.
1918 Billy Pears born, Willington, Durham.
(1936-41)
Outside right signed who began his career at
Willington Juniors and appeared for England Schoolboys in
1933 - making a greater impact on the national team
selectors than rival forward Tommy Lawton.
Briefly playing for Crook Town in 1936, Pears - known as
"Biker" - joined United in
September of that year and immediately caught the eye in
an A team game against Gosforth & Coxlodge.
That saw him promoted to the Central League side for a trip
to Leeds and he duly scored in a 2-2 draw at Elland Road.
Remaining in the reserves, Billy's senior chance came in
April 1939 when an injury to half back Jimmy Gordon saw
him included in the side for a 1-1 draw at Bury.
Retaining his place first team for a 1-2 home
defeat by Swansea Town the following week, Pears then returned to the
reserves.
The outbreak of war truncated his career and he joined
the army, serving as a PT instructor and rising to the
rank of Sergeant.
Leaving the army in 1945, he played for West Stanley before
signing for Stockton in 1947.
In his excellent book, "The Farther Corner" Harry
Pearson recalls speaking to a Willington team mate of Pears,
who confirmed what happened to him in later life:
"Accident at the pithead. A steel joist fell on him,
broke his spine. He had to wear a steel girdle after that."
Billy's death was recorded in Durham during July 1992.
1953 Keith Robson born,
Hetton-le-Hole. (1971-74)
 Forward who
joined United during 1971, making a scoring reserve debut in
a 3-1 home win over Blackburn Rovers in April 1972.
Along with fellow teenager Paul Cannell, Keith was on the
fringe of senior selection in the opening weeks of the
following season.
Cannell made his debut first while Robson was an unused
substitute at Coventry City that September.
Keith's senior bow arrived in a 1-1 home draw with Chelsea
in March 1973 after Malcolm Macdonald was ruled out with a
knee injury.
Understudying either Supermac or John Tudor, Robson's maiden
goal came during a 3-1 victory at Ipswich in September 1973.
However, a lack of regular first team action at Gallowgate
and a desire to raise cash to fund the arrival of a new
goalkeeper saw Keith depart a year later.
West Ham paid £60,000 for him, with an additional
£10,000 due in early 1975 after 20 league games after he
made an immediate impact as a left winger.
Injury cost Robson a place in the 1975 FA Cup Final victory
over Fulham, but he played and scored in 2-4 European Cup
Winners Cup Final loss to Anderlecht in 1976.
His Hammers career was affected by injury and disciplinary
issues and after a loan spell at NASL side Team Hawaii he
was sold to Cardiff City during 1977.
Later with Norwich City (losing his place to future
Magpie Justin Fashanu), Leicester City and Carlisle United,
Keith also played in Hong Kong for a time.
Returning to Norfolk, he played on for Norwich Busmen, Corinthians and Wroxham
becoming assistant boss of the latter while working at
Norwich Airport.
1961 Neil Simpson born,
Hackney, London.
(1990-91)
 Scottish
international midfielder recalled more for his time at
Aberdeen than a brief stay on Tyneside, where he managed
just four appearances in a year.
Beginning his career with boys club side Middlefield
Wasps in Aberdeen, Simpson moved to Pittodrie in 1978
and in a 12 year Dons career won Scottish League, FA
Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners Cup medals -
playing for a time in the same side as former/future
Magpie Mark McGhee.
Neil enjoyed a certain notoriety in Scottish football
circles following a tackle in 1988 that put Iain
Durrant of Rangers out of the game for three years - although by then
Simpson was suffering with injury himself, a troublesome
ankle restricting his pitch time.
Despite this, Jim Smith persuaded United to fork out
£100K ahead of the 1990/91 season to bring Neil to SJP
and he appeared in pre-season (including the
infamous "secret" games in Hungary).
His competitive debut was as a substitute in a 1-0 win
at Port Vale that September and he reprised that role
three days later - playing reasonably well in a 2-2 draw
at Sheffield Wednesday.
After further sub outings at home to West Ham and away
at the smoggies in the League Cup, Simpson's first (and
last) start then came away at Bristol City.
Forced off the field before half time by injury he was
replaced by debutant Lee Clark and would never be seen
again - with questions later asked about the
thoroughness of the medical before the player moved to
SJP.
Released by United the following summer, he returned to
Scotland with Motherwell and played on until 1993, after which he
turned out for non-league Cove Rangers and was
commercial manager for Elgin City.
After a period working as a football development officer
for the SFA, Simpson returned to Aberdeen and was
involved in coaching youngsters at Pittodrie.
1977 Jason Tindall born Mile End, London.(2021-present, coach)
Playing youth football in East London with future Magpie Lee
Bowyer, Jason was with Arsenal and Charlton Athletic's
academies before signing for Bournemouth in 1998.
Debuting for the Cherries in the same side as Eddie Howe,
Tindall made almost 200 appearances over the next eight
years - hampered by a serious knee injury that was operated
by renowned USA surgeon Richard Steadman - whose
interventions also extended the careers of Alan Shearer and
Craig Bellamy among others.
Managing non-league Weymouth after a spell as a player, he
returned to Dean Court as a coach in 2008, becoming Howe's
assistant the following year and making a brief return to
playing.
Following him to Burnley and then back to Bournemouth,
Tindall replaced Howe in the hot seat during August 2020 but
was sacked the following February.
Following a brief period assisting Paul Heckingbottom at
Championship side Sheffield United, the man now known as"Mad Dog"
joined Newcastle as assistant to Howe in November 2021.
The hospitalisation of Howe in April 2025 saw
Jason lead the side for three games: home wins over
Manchester United and Crystal Palace and a loss at Aston
Villa.
1995 Ryan McKinnon born, Hexham.
(2012-15)
 Central defender who
made his U18 bow in a 0-4 home loss to Spurs in August
2012 and became a regular starter from that point.
Featuring at reserve team level for the first time in a training ground friendly at York City
during October 2012, Ryan also played in a friendly at
Consett the following May.
A competitive debut for the U21 side came against
Manchester City in February 2014, but after a handful of
further outings, Ryan was released just over a year
later.
Spending time at Barnsley on trial, he then joined
Northern League side Consett before moving on to Tow Law
Town in 2020.
Ryan returned to Consett
in June 2023 and after making over 200 appearances for
the Steelmaen he retired at the end of the 2024/25
season.

7-4 victors at Old Trafford two months earlier, Newcastle
found themselves on the wrong end of the same improbable
scoreline at Gallowgate.
Pompey had won two of their previous three visits to
Tyneside and soon recovered from going a goal down to
lead 4-1.
United's Duncan Lindsay then saw what would have been
his second goal of the game disallowed for an offside,
almost immediately scoring a legitimate goal make it
2-4.
The Magpies were hindered by the loss of left back Bob
Thomson with the score at 5-3 to the visitors.
Pompey's former South Shields
player Jackie Smith scored twice.
1933 A full
international was staged at St.James' Park, Wales overcoming
England 2-1 in front of 12,000 spectators to clinch
the Home International Championship.
Tommy Mills of Clapton Orient but the Welsh ahead on 21
minutes, before Manchester City's Eric Brooks levelled on
59 minutes.
Wales won it eight minutes from full time, when Aston
Villa's David Astley headed in.

24,654
What was to be Newcastle's final visit to Park
Avenue saw them resume their goal glut after a 0-2 home
loss to Nottingam Forest.
A trio of first half efforts meant that Magpies had
scored no less than 16 times in four games.
Former PA man Len Shackleton didn't find the net, but
gave an interview in the dressing room after the final
whistle to Wilfred Pickles that was broadcast the
following day on the "Northern Folk" radio show.
1947 Newcastle reserves were in
Central League action at SJP, beating Blackburn
Rovers 2-1.
Andy Donaldson scored twice for the home side, sandwiching
an effort from Wheeler.
1950 A short
journey for Jackie Milburn as he was selected for
England in an Home International against Wales at Roker Park.
59,137 spectators saw a 4-2 win for England, with the Newcastle man rounding off the scoring in
the 89th minute.
Future Magpie Ivor Allchurch was in the Welsh line-up.
 1952 Chelsea (h)
2-1
(1-1)
Division One
P16, 17pts, 10th/22
G.Robledo(37pen), Brennan(49)
Parsons(26)
37,178
A mighty
performance from centre half Frank Brennan was the bedrock
of this win.
Snuffing out the threat of Chelsea debutant Les Stubbs,
Brennan also got forward to hit the winning goal,
knocking home Tommy Walker's free kick at the
Gallowgate End.
Future England boss Ron Greenwood gave away that free kick
and was also responsible for conceded the first half
penalty kick that led to United's equaliser.
 1958 Birmingham City
(a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P17, 19pts, 8th/22
Larkin(79)
28,720
Len White missed a 53rd minute penalty for
United - and the Magpies forward spurned a handful of
other scoring opportunities at St. Andrew's.
 1969 Nottingham Forest (h) 3-1
(2-1)
Division One
P20, 20pts, 11th/22
Dyson(7), Craig(41), og(Hindley)(55)
Hilley(38)
24,307
Ex-Magpie
Dave Hilley netted on his return to SJP, but little else
went right for Forest on Tyneside.
Terry Hennessey's untimely slip gave Keith Dyson the
opportunity to open the scoring and after Hilley had
levelled, visiting 'keeper Alan Hill helped David Craig's
effort in.
Newcastle's third goal was also had a shade of fortune;
Pop Robson's cross headed into his own goal by Peter
Hindley.
1969 An Alan Foggon goal was enough to give
United victory over Forest in a Central League fixture
at the The City Ground.
 1975 Liverpool (h)
1-2 (1-1)
Division One
P17, 15pts, 13th/22
Nulty(24)
Hall(41), Kennedy(88)
41,145
The Reds became the first side to win at Gallowgate
that season, Ray Kennedy taking a pass from Kevin Keegan
and driving the ball past Mick Mahoney to secure both
points.
 1980 Sheffield Wednesday (h)
1-0 (1-0)
Division Two
P18, 19pts, 9th/22
Shinton(31)
19,145
A third goal in as many home games for the artist
Bobby Shinton was enough to see off Jack Charlton's Owls.
The striker headed in Alan Shoulder's cross for the only
goal, while Wednesday were aggrieved when Terry Curran
opted to fall over in the box under challenge from Kenny
Wharton rather than score - and was then outraged not to
be awarded a penalty kick.
 1986 Watford (h)
2-2 (0-0)
Division One
P15, 11pts, 22nd/22
Anderson(78)
McDonald(86pen),
Jackett(72pen), Blissett(80)
23,645
A third successive draw left United at the bottom of
the table, but new arrival Paul Goddard impressed on his
home debut.
 1994
SJP hosted an England U21 international match, with
25,863 fans present to witness a 1-0 victory over the
Republic of Ireland.
Coached by Kevin Keegan, England won through Noel
Whelan's goal with Newcastle's Steve Watson catching the
eye for his display.
Future Magpies Sol Campbell and Nicky Butt also
featured, while the Irish included both Shay Given and
Stephen Carr.
 2001
The Reserves recorded a 5-2 win over a
Cramlington Sunday League XI in a kickabout staged at the Croft Park home of
Blyth Spartans.
United goalscorers were Brian Kerr, Stuart Green, Gary Caldwell, Colin
McMenamin and Kevin Dixon,
while Magpies coaching duo Peter Beardsley and Kenny Wharton both had a runout.

2004 A depressing night at
Kingston Park saw Tommy Craig's second string beaten 0-3 by their Manchester
United counterparts.
Future Magpie loan striker Giuseppe Rossi was in the
visiting lineup.

Boyce(54)

Behind to yet another goal
from future Magpie Ryan Taylor, a late rally following the dismissal of
Emerson Boyce put Joe Kinnear's side ahead late on.
However, there was still enough time for old boy Titus Bramble to return
to haunt SJP with a late headed equaliser for Wigan.
Joey Barton was forced off by a tackle from Latics hatchet man Lee Cattermole - the knee injury sustained
sidelining the midfielder for the next two months.

2024 Following his promotion from the England U20
squad to the U21s, Lewis Miley debuted in a friendly
against Spain.
The 18 year-old Magpie midfielder came off the bench
during a 0-0 draw in the town of La
Linea de la Concepcion.
