#NewcastleUnited postcard for the 1910 FA Cup final. Beating Barnsley 2-0 in a replay #NUFC finally won the biggest prize in football - the English Cup. It was their 4th final in 6 years.
This #Newcastle team had also won the league 3x in those 6 seasons.
A team full of legends
Yes please 👍🏼
On the back of the Veitch chat yesterday:
Colin Veitch handwritten letter to Bradford captain James Speirs ahead of the 1911 FA Cup final.
What a gent!
#NUFC
That would be class. Cheers
Followed all the first group 👍🏼

Great idea. Followed all. HWTL
1898-99 Newcastle vs Liverpool (friendly) programme/card
Finally got a 19th century #NUFC prog!
It’s #33 suggesting the 33rd ever #NewcastleUnited programme.
NB line up incl Colin Veitch who’d signed a few weeks earlier. His debut?

For the Joelinton handball the referee applied the rule.
Take a look at the literal rule and explain how he got it wrong.
If I was a Spurs fan I’d be more aggrieved at team selection and tactics. #NUFC should have been out of site by HT.
The thing is when we’re under pressure we immediately revert back to the line of 5 at the back line of 4 midfield. They have the ball but we’re v difficult to break down.
Several legends in this group - Watt & McPherson, McCrombie, Lawrence, Rutherford, Aitken, Veitch, McWilliam, McCracken, Howie, Carr…
Only 15 senior players.
Goalkeepers didn’t wear different shirts until later.

Newcastle United postcard 1904-5
#Newcastle would be champions for the 1st time by the end of the season & almost won the double - losing to Villa in the cup final
Thus starting both the dominant Edwardian Masters era & the Crystal Palace jinx!

Did I mention I met Ronaldinho last Saturday? I don’t usually look this bad but I’d been on the drink 12 hours and the Toon lost. Nice bloke.

Agreed. Aim to go back some time. Love South America for going to games. I actually left Uruguay early for a rearranged super clasico at El Monumental. Probably best thing I’ve ever done.
I was there in 2010. Didn’t see a game in Uruguay unfortunately as the weekends either side I went to Argentina and Brazil.
Fantastic to see and a great museum.
Yeah it’s also on the programmes in 1903-4. Not sure when it was dropped .
Newcastle United 1905-6
Football league champions 1905, for the first time. They’d go on to win again in 1907 and 1909.
A rare postcard advertising Oxo.
Edwardian legends including Veitch, Lawrence, Aitken, Watt, McPherson…
World’s best team 1905-11?
