U19s:
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 Teessiders 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
(Wooster 70), Seldon (Mills 62).

Premier League:
mackems (a)
The 156th senior
competitive Tyne-wear derby takes place on Sunday in SR5.
It's a 2pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.
Newcastle received 2,528 tickets, mirroring what the mackems get for the
return fixture on Tyneside next year.
That reduced amount follows the decision to close the (front) balcony
sections of the SJP away area in Leazes L7 for safety reasons and
reduce the allocation accordingly.
The maximum number of away fans allowed for Premier League fixtures
on wearside this season so far is 3,086.
Match tickets come in digital format - the ticket transfer scheme won't be in
operation for this game.
Supporter guidance from NUFC is online
here
Phone banks, vapes and coins are all banned there.
There's no requirement to travel on buses provided by NUFC - these
had to be pre-booked and bookings have ended.
Buses will depart from SJP between 11am and 11.30am and wristbands
issued that need to be displayed to obtain access to buses for the
return trip post-match.
Team: William Osula, Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman remain
unavailable, but Nick Pope could be in contention.
Joelinton is a doubt following his substitution against Leverkusen
with a groin problem.

No FAC TV, tie
still tbc
Friday saw confirmation of FA Cup Third Round ties to be televised
live in the UK, with Newcastle's home meeting with Bournemouth not
among the eight games selected for what the FA call linear
channels.
That doesn't necessarily mean that the visit of the Cherries to SJP
will be a 3pm kick-off on Saturday January
10th though, with the entire Third Round fixture list yet to be
divulged.
Last season's Third Round saw no less than 20 ties staged
over a six day period with a variety of kick-off times other than
3pm Saturday, including United's home meeting with Bromley that was
shown via BBC iPlayer on the Sunday.

Yet another late

Bayer Leverkusen

Match report
U19s:
Kyle cracker not
enough
Bayer Leverkusen U19s 2 Newcastle U19s 1
Despite an improved display in their sixth and final U19 Youth
League tie on Tuesday,
Newcastle were unable to register their first point of the campaign.
Playing at the Ulrich-Haberland stadium in the shadow of the Bay
Arena, the green-clad Magpies were forced into an unplanned change
before the half hour when full back Thomas Bryant departed on a
stretcher with a leg injury.
Sean Neave then came agonisingly close to opening the scoring two
minutes from the interval, only for his low shot to rebound off a
post with the goalkeeper beaten.
Visiting goalkeeper Roman Dowell won his one v one duel with
Jeremiah Mensah on 45 minutes but was unable to prevent Montrell
Culbreath from registering with a glancing header in the third
minute of time added on.
Leverkusen doubled their advantage seven minutes after the restart
when Ferdinand Pohl shot home, but United gained a foothold in the
game when Kyle Fitzgerald marked his return to the side with an
excellent finish in the 72nd minute.
A vital intervention
from Mensah preserved Bayern's lead nine minutes from the end of
normal time, his goal-line clearance denying Kacey Wooster after he
latched on to Fitzgerald's pull back from the right flank.
Team: Dowell, Shahar, Bryant (Charlton 28), Watts, Moran,
Finneran, Alabi (M.Miley 64), Neave, Seung-soo (Pinnington 80),
Ferreira (Fitzgerald 64), Brayson (Wooster 64).
Subs n/u: Jones, Yildiz, Johnson, Old.

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 |
|
13th December |
|
Born Or Died:
1914
Stan Docking born, Chopwell.
(1934-38)
Inside left who made his first team debut in a 1-1 home draw with Fulham
in January 1935 and was an occasional starter until the closing weeks of the
1937/38 season.
Moving on to Tranmere Rovers that summer, Stan volunteered for military
service in the RAF and appeared for Hartlepools in War League football.
Sadly, he died of a heart attack while at home on leave in May 1940. He's
buried in Whitley Bay.
1944 Tommy Gibb born. Bathgate, Scotland. (1968-75)
Midfielder who joined United in a £45,000 transfer from Partick Thistle in
August 1968, debuting soon after in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield
Wednesday at Hillsborough.
That was the second game of the season and after marking his first senior
appearance at SJP with a goal against Chelsea, Tommy was to remain an
ever-present until the end of that campaign.
That included playing in all twelve of the Fairs Cup games, during which he
found the net against Feyenoord, Real Zaragoza and Vitoria Setubal.
Coming on at Wembley in the 1974 FA Cup Final defeat in place of Jimmy Smith,
Gibb enjoyed a love/hate relationship with certain sections of the SJP crowd
despite his good service.
He eventually departed on a free to the mackems in 1975, later turning out for
Hartlepool United before returning north of the border.
1955 Glenn Roeder born, Woodford, Essex. (1983-88
player,
2006-07 Manager)
Popular central defender who served Leyton Orient, Notts County
and QPR before moving
to Tyneside midway through our promotion season of
1983/84.
Debuting in a 1-1 home draw with Blackburn Rovers on Boxing Day 1983, the
England B international who had been on Arsenal's books as a youngster went on
to become club captain at SJP.
Remembered for his own unique shuffle, Roeder remained at Gallowgate until the
side lost their top-flight status in May 1989, before moving on to
Watford.
Later returning to Brisbane Road for a second
stint with the O's, Glenn's final club proved to be Gillingham before retiring
in 1993. Experiencing mixed fortunes in management at
Priestfield and Vicarage Road, Roeder served as assistant to Chris
Waddle during his brief ill-starred stint at
Burnley and later joined the England coaching team.
Two years after accepting an invitation to join Harry Redknapp's West Ham
staff, Glenn took charge of West Ham in 2001.
It was in the latter post that he underwent serious brain surgery after
a sudden post -match collapse.
After a successful
recovery, Roeder returned to SJP
as Academy Director, with little inkling of what was to
come. Placed in caretaker
charge by Freddy Shepherd after Graeme Souness was
sacked, a fine end to the season then saw his side qualify for the Intertoto
Cup.
Roeder was persuaded to take the post on a permanent basis and despite not
holding the required UEFA Pro Licence, his appointment was belatedly ratified
after much debate. Riding through one rocky spell that saw us
tumble to 19th following a disastrous
home defeat to Sheffield United in November 2006, Roeder
steered United to mid-table.
However a run of just one win from
nine games (including six defeats) saw him exit SJP
before the final game of that season, never really recovering from our UEFA Cup exit at AZ Alkmaar
in March 2007.
After five months out of football, Roeder returned to
management with Championship strugglers Norwich City in
October 2007 - assisted by his former player Lee Clark
and other ex-Mags including Tommy Wright and Paul Stephenson.
Just over a year
later though Clark moved to Huddersfield Town to take up the
Manager's job and Roeder exited from Carrow Road within
weeks, early in 2009.
Later scouting for Aston Villa and Millwall in addition to working as an
advisor for Cardiff City, Glenn was at Sheffield Wednesday in a Director of
Football role between April and December 2015.
He then took up the position of managerial advisor at Stevenage from 2016 to
2018.
Sadly Glenn's death was announced in February 2021 at the
age of just 65 after ultimately losing the battle against
his brain tumour.
 1956 Malcolm Brown born,
Salford.
(1983-85)
 United's
recruitment ahead of the 1983/84 promotion season saw
them acquire two full backs, but while left back John
Ryan made a limited impact in his 10 games, right back
Malcolm never played in the second tier.
Despite a record run of consecutive games at previous club Huddersfield
Town (259), an Achilles injury sustained in training
ruled him out for a year before belatedly debuting in
the First Division opener at Leicester City.
Despite then stringing together a run of 45 successive
appearances, Newcastle manager Jack Charlton then
informed Brown that he wasn't in his plans and a
return move to the Terriers soon followed.
Later serving Rochdale in two
separate spells with a stint in between at Stockport
County, Malcolm became a driving instructor following
his retirement.
 1970 David Roche born,
Daisy Hill,
Walkergate. (1986-93)
A product of Wallsend
Boys Club, midfielder Roche impressed at both junior and reserve team
level for United and was handed a senior debut from the bench at Arsenal by
Jim Smith in April 1989.
Loaned to both Gateshead and Peterborough United during his time at SJP, Roche
joined Doncaster Rovers in a part exchange deal involving Mike Jeffrey in
October 1993.
A brief stint with Southend United ended when Roche was convicted of wounding
with intent after attacking a Tyneside pub doorman in 1995. He
was in the headlines again in 2002 when handed an eight year
prison sentence for drugs offences, as a result of a Northumbria police
operation named "Hard Hit".
 1999
Kurtis Russell born, Newcastle
(2016-18)
Front
player who joined Newcastle's Academy on a two year scholarship after helping
the club's U17 side to tournament success in France during May 2016.
However, a knee injury then saw him miss the entire 2016/17 season, returning
to make a brief reserve appearance against Whitley Bay in a friendly match
during July 2017.
A belated U18 debut came from the bench during a 1-4 reverse away to West
Bromwich Albion in September 2017 with a first goal at that level against Boro
a month later.
Despite scoring a stunning goal in the FA Youth Cup against Brighton however,
Kurtis failed to become a regular starter and was released in June 2018.
His next port of call was Croatian side
NK Novigrad - along with fellow NUFC old boy Ben
Kitchen - before returning to the region and joining
Newcastle Benfield.
Later spells followed at Tow Law Town, Blyth Spartans,
Whickham, Ryton & Crawrook and Burradon & New
Fordley.

Division One
P16, 15pts, 12th/20
Hibbert(75), Hudspeth(83pen)
Kitchen(82pen)
25,000
A game of late goals included one successful penalty
conversion for each side within seconds of each other,
both for handball offences.
There was a debut for Stan Hardy, a locally-born
inside left who was gassed in the trenches during the
Great War but survived.
1919 Sheffield United
(h)
2-1 (1-1)
Division One
P19, 24pts, 4th/22

emerge for the second period in fresh kits - which were
soon encrusted again.
1930 Leicester City

Division One
P19, 15pts, 18th/22

1-2 (1-1)
Division Two
P21, 27pts, 3rd/22
Pearson(11)
Hurrell(40), OG(Dodgin,49)
30,000
United slipped to defeat when Norman Dodgin beat his
own keeper, Jack Fairbrother.
The Lions were forced to play this game at the Selhurst
Park home of Crystal Palace after the FA closed their
Den ground for seven days.
That was a punishment for crowd disruption at the end of a
Millwall versus Barnsley fixture the previous October.
 1952
Aston Villa (h)

Division One
P20, 22pts, 8th/22

Derby County (a)
0-2 (0-0)
Division One
P23, 22pts, 14th/22
Hinton(84), McGovern(86)
30,057
Newcastle arrived at the Baseball Ground with
the meanest defence in the division but crucially failed to shackle County's
Alan Hinton.
The winger belatedly opened the scoring with a scorching 25 yard drive before
providing a perfect chip for John McGovern to head home via a post.
Among the crowd was the England Manager, Alf Ramsay.
 1975
Leicester City (a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P21, 19pts, 15th/22
Weller(70)
18,130

Swansea City (a)
0-4 (0-3)
Division Two
P21, 20pts, 14th/22
L.James(11), R.James(14,64),
Charles(43)
11,672
Followed the postponement of their home game against
Blackburn Rovers the previous Saturday due to snow, United slid to a third
successive defeat by the Swans.
This latest misery was beamed out to the nation, courtesy of "Match
of the Day" and Jonah Motson - our first appearance on the programme
since the 0-6 loss at Chelsea some six weeks earlier.
Following the sale of Billy Rafferty to Portsmouth, efforts to sign a striker
continued with chief scout Joe Harvey at Gigg Lane to watch Lincoln City's Mick
Harford.

Nottingham Forest (h) 3-2 (1-1)
Division One
P19, 21pts, 15th/22
Wharton(16),
A. Thomas(68), Beardsley(73)
Starbuck(23), Carr(75)
26,191
Peter Beardsley's winner saw him race over halfway to reach a Paul
Goddard pass, outpace Des Walker and then smoothly shoot past Hans Segers in the
Gallowgate End goal.
Future Magpie Franz Carr then netted to make for a slightly nervous finale,
while Stuart Pearce was also in typically unflinching mood for the visitors.
This proved to be the only home league appearance of midfielder Tony Nesbit, who
came on to replace Darren Jackson.

 1988
Watford (a)
1-2 (0-0)
Full Members Cup
McDonald(64)
Holden(50), Wilkinson(86)
6,186
The first of a remarkable five cup games in barely two
months against the Hornets, with Rob McDonald netting at Vicarage Road.
After the Second Division side indulged in a little
giant-killing here, they would then knock United out of the FA Cup after a
marathon four Third Round matches.
 1992
Barnsley (a)
0-1 (0-0)
Division One
P20, 49pts, 1st/24
O'Connell(49)
13,263
Kevin Keegan's table-topping side were beaten for only

televised game.
1995 Former United
striker Mark McGhee incurred the wrath of Leicester City
fans by exiting Filbert Street in order to become
the new Wolves boss.
 1997
Barnsley (a)
2-2 (1-1)
Premiership
P16, 25pts, 9th/20
Gillespie(44,49)
Redfearn(9), Hendrie(75)
18,687
A sizeable contingent of Toon fans were housed on the
open away terrace at Oakwell -
with seats bolted on.
And although Keith Gillespie's twin strikes turned a
0-1 deficit into a 2-1 advantage, old boy John Hendrie
popped in a fine equaliser.
2001 United's reserves went second in the table, after Jamie
Coppinger's scored in a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Hyde United's Ewen Fields.

Tottenham Hotspur (h) 4-0 (1-0)
Premiership
P16, 24pts, 5th/20
Robert(35,55), Shearer(59,66)
52,139
Laurent Robert's finest hour for us came in this game,
with a pair of simply stunning long distance strikes against the Cockerels.
The first was an instinctive lash that flew past Casey Keller into the Leazes
goal, while the second was probably even better as he ran forward, looked up and
hit an unstoppable piledriver from 35 yards.
For once two-goal Alan Shearer was eclipsed, as the Frenchman
hogged the headlines.

Drogba(74)
41,945
This defeat extended United's pointless - and goalless
- run here to seven games, but they weren't disgraced.
Forced to field a depleted lineup, the decisive goal was
the result of a fortunate scuff from Andriy Shevchenko
whose mis-hit effort fell nicely for Didier Drogba to
turn the ball past Shay Given.
Glenn Roeder's side had
come close to taking the lead on his 51st birthday when
Antoine Sibierski turned James Milner's corner onto the
bar.
NUFC.com match report
2011 Beaten 0-3 and 0-4 in their
last two league games, United reserves stopped the rot at Darsley Park
with a 1-1 draw against Bolton Wanderers.
However, they
were pegged back after striker Dan
Taylor headed them into an early lead.
NUFC.com match report
2011
Modibo Maiga was reportedly having a
medical in London, as the formalities of a £6m
deal for the Sochaux striker were
concluded.
The 24 year-old Malian international had downed tools
earlier in the season when his move to SJP broke down,
but the deal appeared to have been resurrected ahead of
the January transfer window.
Reports were premature though and Maiga instead joined West Ham -
where he was a
total flop.

Alan Pardew celebrated his Manager of the Month award in typical fashion with
a heavy defeat in the live Saturday teatime game, although the scoreline
flattered the Gunners.
Aside from Ayoze Perez's an excellent header though, United were unable to seriously test
a brittle home defence.

A spectacular comeback
gave United back to back league wins for the first time in
a year, moving them out of the bottom three.
Aleksandar Mitrovic levelled barely 90 seconds after coming off the bench,
before fellow substitute Ayoze Perez sealed Newcastle's third successive
league win at White Hart Lane.

51,042
Jonjo Shelvey's late dismissal summed up 90 minutes of
frustration and stupidity at SJP as United made it just one point from a
possible 24.
Karl Darlow's blunder was costly, spilling Aaron
Lennon's header into the path of Wayne Rooney, who bundled the ball in for his usual goal against us.
There was also misfortune for Matt Ritchie and Mikel Merino,
whose first half blockbusters either side of Everton's goal eluded Jordan Pickford only to rebound off
the
Gallowgate goal frame.
