That Albert goal at the end was simply genius

[abaable]

This was the first football match i watched in my life. Even though i am Greek i don't support any Greek teams but i m a Newcastle fan. I was nearly 10 years old then and thought i was watching the world's best team. Always wanted to visit Newcastle and St James's Park and i managed to do so and watch a PL match in 2011. Newcastle- Everton 2-1. One of the best moments of my life.

That was one hell of a side Newcastle had, should have won the league.

"its phillipe ohhh!!!" greatest peice of commentary ever, wish we could have a day like this again

I remember listening to BBC Radio 5 live during this match. They were covering a different match but kept going back to the reporter at St James' for every goal. Every time the man said 'and there been another goal at St James's Park' I thought man utd were surely mounting a comeback, but it was our day. That was such a special team put together by king kev. a great day to be a magpie.

Was there...20th October 1996 if Im not mistaken? Cracking neet in the Toon afterwards. What time is it? 5 past Schmeichel!

[artcregod]

One of the BEST days of my life!! ( I was 18 ) Regardless, that we ultimately didn't win a trophy. Performances and memories like these last a lifetime!

[gezzarandom]

Anyone remember the jokes which followed? What time is it, five past Schmeichel. Schmeichel's wife called him afterwards and asked, "I know your upset but could you be home before six?" Also this was the start of a really bad run by Man United, after this they lost 6-3 to Southampton, 2-1 to Chelsea 1-0 to Juventus and 1-0 to Fenerbahce. Crazy stuff.

[subboid]

Worth remembering that this Man Utd team was nearly full strength - Cantona, Beckham, Scholes (sub) were all playing

[danieltruyts-kegi]

Albert's goal was a gem... quite a skill for a central defender.

[ksportz]

Albert goal was always one of my favourites. Also Asprilla vs Liverpool with outside of boot

[misterpete]

I remember this day like it was yesterday, it was a Sunday match and what a flipping game. Long live Alan shearer

[englishgoordie]

What a team, what a time that was to be a Newcastle fan

[gmooney]

"Phillipe absolutely glorious"

[skyhighwhite]

Fair play to Newcastle, they tore us { Man Utd } apart that day, tough to take but we have done to other teams over the years.

[truehurukan]

the second goal... 24 years later is still a pearl !!

[lindsaysmith]

What I'd give to have this team nowadays :(

[kevanbrown]

Absolutely Majestic, probably the greatest game I've ever seen. Newcastle had some team then, if only we could have held them together. We had David Batty and Rob Lee in the middle, and out attacking we had Peter Beardsley, David Ginola, Les Ferdinand and thee Alan Shearer. If only Keegan had have brought in two world class defenders, we would have won the League a few times and the Champions League, aswell as a couple of league cups and FA Cups. We had a brilliant midfield, David Batty, a proper Defensive Midfielder, for England aswell, and Rob Lee, who could bring the ball out for the forwards, and up in attack it was magic, we had Peter Beardsley, David Ginola, Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer, plus Tino Asprilla on the bench. If we had of got say Jap Stam and Paolo Maldini, we would have smashed the premier League, and took on the best in Europe. Imagine if Pep Gaudiolla was manager of that lot. We would still be champions now. The Entertainers.

Saint James Park has a really special atmosphere. In those days i wasn't specially fascinated by the premier league neither watched it that much( I didn't even understand English and was more Serie A or la Liga Guy) but the crowd, the cheers and the noise in Saint James Park really amazed me.

[ShaneJoshua]

Love that Ferdinand goal, double crossbar. I remember watching this game on Sky. Happy days.
