Neil Harris hit a second half hat-trick to give United their biggest win of the season.

1923 The home international match between Ireland and Scotland at Belfast's Windsor Park ended in a 1-0 victory for the visitors.

1928 There was a memorable reserve bow for centre forward John Hailes, who scored six times in a 9-2 defeat of Hartlepools United in the North Eastern League.

The 20 year-old native of Hetton netted five of his six goals in the opening 45 minutes at Gallowgate.

Five days after their League Cup Final loss at Wembley to Manchester City, Newcastle returned to league action.

Micky Burns handed both points to the Potters on a plate when he directed a harmless-looking back pass beyond Mick Mahoney.

Mahoney's opposite number Peter Shilton then performed heroics to keep a clean sheet - including two stops to deny young substitute Rocky Hudson a first senior goal.

1976 United announced the double signing of Graham Oates and Roger Jones from Gordon Lee's former club Blackburn Rovers.

In their first fixture since the 1-4 home derby loss, United repaid the faith of those fans who returned to the scene of the crime, although the crowd was almost 20,000 less than the mackem game.

Those who were tempted back saw Mick Martin net his first goal for the club, his shot deflecting off the foot of the Addicks goalkeeper and trickling into the Leazes net.

United wore the legendary shiny skin-tight silver kit on a day when the Craven Cottage pitch had more sand on it than Druridge Bay. Youtube footage is online here

David Unsworth netted at both ends, putting United ahead when Toffees goalkeeper Paul Gerrard pushed out Alan Shearer's cross and the ball rebounded off the Everton player's boot. 

The defender atoned by converting a penalty kick harshly awarded by referee David Elleray against Steve Caldwell, after Kevin Campbell threw himself to the floor amid hopeful shouts from home fans at the Gwladys Street End.

After a 1-1 draw in Oslo, this was a relatively comfortable passage into the last 16 of the competition, although Erik Hagen's equaliser initially caused some consternation.

Shola Ameobi's first goal was scored with his first touches after appearing as a half time replacement for the hamstrung Craig Bellamy.

And the night was memorable for Martin Brittain, Bobby Robson giving the reserve midfielder a senior debut when substituting him for the underwhelming Michael Bridges.

2005 Newcastle's Reserves lost their 100% record at Morecambe's Christie Park as they drew 1-1 with Blackburn's second string.

Charles N'Zogbia shot United ahead only for Jerome Watt to bring Rovers back level when he squeezed the ball past the bulky frame of Tony Caig in the Toon goal.

For United it was a case 
of two points lost, as they squandered the best chances in what was a game of few chances.

At the other end Shay Given had one of his quietest days with the visitors offering little or no attacking threat.

However, Obafemi Martins and Kieron Dyer couldn't make the vital breakthrough, while Glenn Roeder delayed bringing Antoine Sibierski off the bench until near the end.

On-loan Oguchi Onyewu partnered Titus Bramble in central defence, with an unusual full back pairing of Nobby Solano on the right and Steven Taylor filling in on the other side.

2012 United confirmed that both Tim Krul and Fabricio Coloccini had signed contract extensions, keeping them at SJP until the summer of 2017 and 2016 respectively.

2012 What proved to be the only senior competitive appearance in English football for reserve winger Samuel Adjei came whilst loaned to League One Hartlepool United.

Introduced as a second half substitute in a 1-1 home draw with MK Dons, the Swedish winger sustained an injury that forced his hasty return to Tyneside.

2014 Newcastle Reserves made it five league and cup losses in succession, beaten 1-2 by basement side Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Rolando Aarons netted.

Despite arriving at Anfield on a four match unbeaten run, what followed for Rafa Benitez's side was sadly predictable.

Magpies Captain Jamaal Lascelles ended up on the field at full time having got away with two loud penalty shouts and what seemed a certain red card late on, when he barged over Mo Salah on the edge of the box.

Miggy Almiron's first half double helped his side into the FA Cup Quarter Finals as United saw off the Championship leaders.

But once again they made heavy weather of what should have been a comfortable cup victory after going three up through Valentino Lazaro just after half-time.

Two late goals and a last gasp penalty shout had Steve Bruce and 5,000 travelling fans' hearts in their mouths.

2021 The Mail newspaper reported that: "Steve Bruce and Matt Ritchie were involved in a sensational training ground showdown in which the Newcastle boss physically confronted the winger and barged into him after being called a 'coward' by the player."

The incident came 72 hours after a 1-1 home draw with Wolves, when Bruce had blamed Ritchie for not relaying instructions after arriving from the bench - resulting in Wolves scoring.

Media claims of tensions at the training ground emerged at the time, notably the reaction of Karl Darlow to discovering via the press that he'd been dropped.
