United spurned an opportunity to go ahead when Jack Carr's first half penalty kick was blocked by Toffees custodian Kitchen.

Contemporary newspaper reports named Mackey in the side as a forward on trial from local side Wallsend Park Villa. 

However later research revealed that Mackey was wrongly identified and it was actually Joe McClarence who was on trial - and signed permanently a week later. 

Team: Watts, Bennie, Agnew, Gardner, McWilliam, Carr, Rutherford, Howie, McClarence, Orr, Roberts.

Despite dominating the first half, First Division United couldn't beat home custodian Arthur Wood and trailed by two goals at the break to their opponents, who were battling relegation in Division Two.

Peter Gavigan had volleyed home a corner before another rare attack in the closing seconds of the half ended with Donald Cock's solo run and shot past 'keeper Willie Wilson.

Magpies danger man Hughie Gallacher had passed a pre-match fitness test but was shackled all game by Orient centre half Jack Townrow, watched by a record crowd at the O's Millfields Road ground.

In addition to scoring four, the hosts had three efforts disallowed for offside.

A light covering of snow on the Filbert Street pitch indirectly cost City the tie, when an attempted clearance from Walter Harrison stuck on the penalty spot and Roy Bentley poked it home. 

City were reduced to ten men for part of the second half when George Dewes came off second best in a collision with Frank Brennan. 

He eventually returned swathed in bandages - wisely opting to avoid Brennan by taking up a wide left position.

The Magpies were 3-0 ahead before the half hour mark, but the home side were level by the 49th minute.

Back came the black and whites, with their fifth a memorable effort from George Eastham, who waltzed round four opponents in the driving rain before finding thenet.

This proved to be the last competitive game that Eire International 'keeper Noel Dwyer played for the Hammers, with the suspicion of match fixing later raised but never proven.

Ex-Saint Alan Shearer spurned two good early chances before Steve Howey's poor back pass left Shay Given stranded and gifted an opening goal to James Beattie.

Didier Domi's needless pull on Ostenstad was then spotted by referee Graham Poll and the resultant penalty buried us before half time.

Alan Shearer got one back on 73 minutes but it was ruled out for pushing and by the time Didi Hamann headed in, another Dell disaster was inevitable.

An amazing day as United inflicted a rare defeat on the Champions-to-be and ruined any quadruple hopes.

Our own dreams of lifting silverware were preserved mainly thanks to slices of good fortune that appeared as frequently as the flurries of snow fell on the pitch.

After Patrick Kluivert's headed opener, Mateja Kezman hit the underside of our bar when he had beaten Shay Given all ends up.

But it was in the second period that the tie seemed destined to be ours when an injury to Wayne Bridge saw the visitors reduced to ten men with 48 minutes gone.

Jose Mourinho had gambled with a triple substitution but that backfired almost immediately when Bridge fell awkwardly after a tackle by Alan Shearer.

As Bridge was being taken to the RVI with a suspected broken ankle, his colleagues Carlo Cudicini and Damien Duff collided, the latter hobbling his way to full time.

As United stuttered against effectively nine men, the Blues were reduced further when Cudicini was red-carded for upending Shola Ameobi as he rounded the visiting 'keeper.

2006 Alan Shearer's dreams of ending his career with an FA Cup success were dealt a severe blow by his old pal Rob Lee. Former team mate Lee drew out our ball (no.2) away to Chelsea in the FA Cup Sixth Round draw.

2007 Newcastle's second string twice came from behind to force a 2-2 draw against Manchester City's Reserves at the SportCity ground next to the Etihad.

Lee Clark's young side fell behind only for Andy Carroll to equalise and when Fraser Forster was beaten again, midfielder Mark Doninger soon levelled to earn a point.

Villa manager Steve Bruce had urged Henri Lansbury to enjoy abuse from home fans following his antics while a Nottingham Forest player earlier that season. 

But the future Magpie boss - whose mackem past was loudly referenced by home fans couldn't have foreseen an own goal from Lansbury that left him the toast of Tyneside.

That made it 2-0 to the hosts, Yoan Gouffran's seventh goal of the season giivng them an interval lead they were never in danger of surrendering.

2025 The trial of former Spanish Football Federation supremo Luis Rubiales for sexual assault concluded with a guilty verdict and a fine but no prison term.

The charge followed the televised kiss between Rubiales and Spanish international Jenni Hermoso after full time in the 2023 Women's World Cup Final against England.

Rubiales was acquitted of a further charge of coercion related to events that followed the incident, along with three other officials accused of the same offence.

One of that trio was ex-Magpie Albert Luque - who at the time was Sporting Director of the Spanish men's team and originally called as a witness before further investigations resulted in the charge.
