A winning debut for Andy McCombie at right back, following his transfer from the mackems. 

He should have scored on his debut but missed a first half penalty, hitting the post with his effort after Orr had been fouled.

At last a decisive result after three 2-2 draws in this Second Round epic. The match was held at SJP on the toss of a coin after the previous game.

The Rams took the lead but were undone by a rapid treble from Neil Harris, returning with the solace of having banked £3,000 as their share of gate receipts from the quartet of meetings.

Two ahead against Division One opposition thanks to efforts from our strike duo in front of the Leazes End, United allowed future Magpie Stuart Pearce to give the visitors a foothold in the tie.

Steve Watson then agonisingly shot over the bar when looking certain to make it 3-1 and United were duly punished when Nigel Clough netted an equaliser in the dying seconds.

Forest made no mistake the following Monday at the City Ground as they swept to a 3-0 victory to set up a Fifth Round away tie at Southampton. Brian Clough's side would go on to lose in the Final to Spurs.

The Jack Walker revolution at Ewood Park began, as United fans stood on a roofless Darwen end that was soon to be demolished and rebuilt.

Manager Kevin Keegan was confined to home with the flu, and "Match of the Day" cameras were on hand to record an unadventurous display that nearly secured a replay before Roy Wegerle struck late on.

1999 Unwanted Magpies midfielder Des Hamilton went to Huddersfield Town on loan.

He would go on to make ten appearances in Division One (aka the Championship) for the Terriers, scoring once - away at Wolves.

2001 Wayne Quinn made his loan move to Tyneside permanent, Sheffield United banking £800k for the left-sided player.

2002 Magpie duo Craig Bellamy and Gary Speed played for Wales against Argentina with the roof shut on Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. 

Bellamy opened the scoring in a 1-1 draw.

2006 Birmingham City's on-loan Newcastle midfielder Nicky Butt walked out after not being selected in the squad for their game against West Ham.

Reports suggested City boss Steve Bruce picked his lad Alex instead; father and son then soundly beaten 0-3 at the Boleyn Ground.

2008 Manager Kevin Keegan said this about Charles N'Zogbia, who was reportedly keen to move closer to his family in London:

"He’s just signed a new contract, but if he’s really homesick and wants to go, there isn’t much we can do. All we will do is try and convince him that if he leaves he will miss out on something.

"Players are scared of jumping off a big ship on to a littler one, they hate the idea of missing out on something. If, at the end of the day, he still says he doesn’t want to be here, and he’s not saying that at this stage, then we will have to consider what to do in the summer."

Less than a year later Charlie moved to that massive London club... errr... Wigan and then a big money move followed to that Cockney claret and blue club... Aston Villa....

Newcastle made their debut at the Liberty Stadium and claimed a point thanks to a late equalising header from Andy Carroll.

That was enough to regain top spot in the Championship as Nottingham Forest lost and West Bromwich Albion gained an unwanted FA Cup replay after a 2-2 draw at Reading.

A week after a 1-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion lifted them out of the bottom three, Newcastle were back in a relegation spot after their fifth successive away reverse.

Hapless Magpies boss Steve McClaren finally got something right, telling Sky the first 20 minutes of this Saturday night TV game would determine the outcome.

He was spot-on as his side were soon 0-3 down, conceding two more before Andros Townsend notched a fine first for the club.

There was a debut from the bench for loan striker Seydou Doumbia, who contributed absolutely nothing.

For the second time in six days, Kieran Trippier was the toast of Tyneside as his expertly-dispatched free kick gave his side their third successive victory and lifted them four points clear of the drop zone.

Trippier brilliantly fired home after referee Craig Pawson's penalty award for a foul on Joe Willock was downgraded to a free kick by VAR, who decreed the offence to be marginally outside the penalty area.
