in 1892 following a merger between rivals Newcastle East End and Newcastle
West End.Newcastle became giants of the pre-First World War game, winning
three league titles and one FA Cup before 1914. With Jackie Milburn
becoming a legend on Tyneside, three FA Cup wins in the 1950s gave the
supporters reason to celebrate. And the Fairs Cup was won in 1969 with
a 6-2 aggregate victory over Ujpest Dozsa of Hungary. In 1992, with
the Newcastle playing Second Division football, former Magpies hero
Kevin Keegan was made manager. His appointted kick-started a revival
and his five-year spell saw Newcastle become serious contenders for
the FA Premiership title. And Sir Bobby Robson's appointment in 1999
saw the impetus of the Keegan years restored as they enjoyed top-four
finishes in 2002 and 2003.
