United ended a five match losing run at Anfield that had gone on since 1953, but it was to be another twelve games and eighteen years before they recorded a win.

Postponed from earlier in the month due to the home side's FA Cup progression, this game was staged on a Monday night.

Flowing football was in short supply on a frozen pitch with a covering of snow left on it.

Match referee Gordon Hill was the victim of car trouble en route to the game, but successfully hitched a lift to Anfield with a lorry driver!

A vast presence from Tyneside travelled to The Hawthorns to see United, clad in their Brazilian style change kit, memorably dismantle Division Two Albion.

Jimmy Smith didn't score but inflicted much of the damage on the home side after coming off the bench early on to replace Terry Hibbitt.

A delighted manager Joe Harvey declared post-match that, "This was magnificent. Tremendous. It was a team performance. They have never played better."

"Our fans were magnificent. They gave us a tremendous lift."

Baggies followers present tell of visiting fans running riot post-match, with damage and destruction ensuing. 

Of course you won't find us condoning the post-match looting but you can't help but laugh about the bloke trying to hitch hike with a roll of carpet under his arm....

The Magpies had asked the Robins to bring forward the Senior Cup tie between the two sides scheduled for the following month, but Shields were unwilling to surrender home advantage so a friendly was staged as an alternative.

2006 The FA dismissed United's appeal over the sending off of Celestine Babayaro at Aston Villa, meaning that the defender would miss the next two games.

2009 Having begun his Magpies career in the FA Youth Cup at Manchester City, new boy Haris Vučkić took just three minutes of his reserve team debut to register a first goal for the club.
