The first competitive meeting between the Magpies and Southern League Saints took place at the County Ground and was settled by Robert Buchanan's early effort.

The first derby meeting in the FA Cup was also Newcastle's first home victory over the wearsiders, after losing each of the first four league games at Gallowgate.

Bad weather saw the tie delayed from the original Saturday to Wednesday afternoon, but snow remained lying on the pitch.

"Newcastle tenaciously assailed the visitors' quarters" in the words of one writer, but a replay seemed likely until Ronald Orr fired home from close range "amid a scene of enthusiasm never previously witnessed in Newcastle at a football match."

Three days after scoring the only goal of the game to defeat Chelsea at Gallowgate, Andy Smailes repeated the feat - foiling a gallant effort by visiting goalkeeper Alec Mutch to register a clean sheet.

The talent of Mutch was noted by United though and by 1922 he had moved to SJP.

If any single result can encapsulate a football club, it was this one. 

Seven days after famously falling to non-league Hereford United, Newcastle recorded a rare and deserved victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Tony Green and Stewart Barrowclough combined down the Magpies right for John Tudor to net from close range and give Joe Harvey's side a half time advantage.

And the win was sealed after the break, when Green's low centre was planted past Alex Stepney by Barrowclough.

Some home fans reacted badly and a knife-throwing incident was to lead to Old Trafford being partially closed for two weeks at the start of the following season.

Future Magpie Alan Gowling appeared for the home side, who also included their famed Law, Best and Charlton combo.

PS: A telegram arrived at Gallowgate post-match, reading "all here delighted with win at Manchester. Sincerely hope Magpies will now fly high". 

The sender? Hereford United.

John Tudor marked his return to the first team after a four match absence, blasting home from close range at the Leazes End.

United then went on to exact revenge for their Wembley mauling the previous May, becoming the first side to put four past the Reds in the league since 1969.

Even the debut of winger Ruel Fox could do nothing to stop our usual away calamity against the Dons, thanks in part to a display from goalkeeper Mike Hooper that left much to be desired. 

Two dubious penalty awards late in the game for United made for a flattering final score as Peter Beardsley twice beat Hans Segers.

Duncan Ferguson turned and thumped the ball past goalkeeper Mark Bosnich in the Leazes End goal for a stunning opener. 

Alan Shearer then weighed in with two late goals after Roy Keane had received a second yellow card for a late lunge on Rob Lee. This was only Manchester United's second league defeat of the season.

2007 Andy Carroll headed United into the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup, but Swindon Town pushed us all the way.

A 2,000+ crowd at the County Ground meant a 15 minute delay to the kick-off, before Ryan Donaldson gave United the lead.

Lukas Jutkiewicz then levelled before Newcastle found their second wind and finished strongly but without scoring.

Thirty minutes of additional time then saw Carroll find the net with a towering header from a corner on 117 minutes, to set up a two-legged semi final against Liverpool.

2009 A club statement confirmed that Joe Kinnear's illness was more serious than the blood pressure problem initially reported:

Newcastle United can confirm that manager Joe Kinnear will undergo a triple heart bypass operation tomorrow.

Joe was admitted to hospital on Saturday morning in the Midlands after reporting of feeling unwell at the team's hotel ahead of the game at West Bromwich Albion.

Tests have since confirmed Joe requires surgery, after which he will need to rest for a period of at least eight weeks.

A desperate afternoon at Ewood Park saw the 5,000 away fans reduced to demanding a debut for new signing Shefki Kuqi from the bench.

He duly appeared against his old side for the final seconds to partner Nile Ranger, in what may have been the oddest front duo in our history since Mirandinha and Frank Pingel.
