Newcastle United are a team that really should do better. They have
a football-mad city all to themselves and fans as numerous and
passionate as you will find anywhere. Yet their recent record is
mediocre at best and poor at worst, with every fan painfully aware
that 1955 was the last time they won a major English trophy. But it
wasn't always like that. In the Magpies' glory days of well over
100 years ago, they were considered the best team in the world.
They won the English league three times in five years, the English
cup once and had several near misses, while supplying many players
for the England and Scotland national teams. In this fascinating
book, David Potter recreates the atmosphere of 'the Toon' in those
distant days when men like McWilliam, Veitch, Higgins and Shepherd
walked tall. Above all, that great era is a potent reminder to the
current generation of Newcastle fans that 'it doesn't need to be
like this'.
