Update:
Quayside show tonight
Here's a sneak preview of the
spectacular 3D light show that wil use water projections on the River Tyne
and turn the face of the Baltic Flour Mill into a giant projection screen
tonight.
Announcing a free show to "celebrate
our club, our city and our fans" sela invite anyone
interested to gather opposite the Baltic on the Newcastle side of
the river at 10pm on Saturday.
The live events company staged a drone display over the city days
before United's Champions League return against PSG at Gallowgate in
October 2023.
This latest enterprise follows the launch of the club's 2024/25
home kit manufactured by adidas on Friday, with sela
branding prominently displayed.

friendlies against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Iceland, keeping their
places when seven players were axed from those travelling
to Germany.

Slovakia and Switzerland respectively.

Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall plus ex-Cherries coach Graeme Jones.
Left-sided central defender Kelly played the first of 48 games for Bristol City in 2017, making a �13m switch to
Bournemouth ahead of the 2019/20 campaign - and a home debut during
Newcastle's 4-1 win there.

On This Day in History |
|
8th June |

Born Or Died:
1906 Death of Johnny Campbell, 36. (1897-98)
1929 Tommy Dixon born, Newcastle (194?-51)
Centre forward Tommy came through the ranks at Gallowgate
without making it into the first team squad, moving on to West Ham during
1951.
Scoring a respectable 25 goals in 44 league and cup appearances, the 1953/54
campaign saw him finished top scorer for the Hammers with 19 goals.
Joining third tier Reading for a �2,700 fee in March 1955,
Dixon netted against Newcastle when they made a friendly visit to Elm Park in
October 1956.
Later serving Brighton & Hove Albion, Workington and Barrow, Tommy
succeeded Lawrie McMenemy as Bishop Auckland manager in 1967 but lasted less
than a year at Kingsway.
Tommy's death was reported during February 2014, when he was living in the
Watford area.
1944 David Craig born, Comber, Northern Ireland. (1960-78)
Arriving on Tyneside as a 16 year old (after an unsuccessful
trial at Scunthorpe United), right back David was a part of Newcastle's
1962 FA Youth Cup winning side.
Making his senior bow in a League Cup tie at Bournemouth in
late 1963, David remained an integral part of the first team at SJP until a
2-1 home loss to Arsenal in November 1977 saw him make his final appearance.
That loyalty left him in sixth position in the club's record
appearance makers, although he dropped down a place in May 2007, when Shay
Given surpassed his total.
2009 saw David joining his former United colleagues in
celebrations to mark the 40th anniversary of the Fairs Cup win.
Craig played in nine of the 12 games in that campaign - including both legs of
the final - a hamstring pull at home to Zaragoza game seeing him replaced by
John Craggs against Setubal and at Ibrox versus Rangers.
Also appearing in the Fairs Cup campaigns of the following two seasons, injury
caused this one club man to miss our unsuccessful trips to Wembley in 1974
(dislocated shoulder) and 1976 (medial ligament).
Remaining at SJP to feature in the UEFA Cup during the 1977/78
season, David also won 25 full caps for Northern Ireland between 1967 and 1974
- a good number of them in the left back berth.
Awarded a testimonial match in 1975, Craig played on for Blyth Spartans after
leaving United and also turned out for Dunston Mechanics (later Dunston Fed /
UTS).
Remaining on Tyneside, David became a care worker after previous stints as a
milkman and newsagent.
1974 Peter Cormack born, Southport. (1992-94)
Peter began his career with Hutcheson Vale in the Edinburgh
area before joining Meadowbank Thistle in 1990, although he barely featured
for their first team.
July 1992 then saw Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan add the son of one-time
Anfield colleague Peter Cormack (senior) to his squad at a cost of �10,000.
Given the number 27 squad number before Philippe Albert's arrival, Cormack
failed to make a senior appearance for the Magpies, but was on the bench for
an Anglo Italian Cup tie away to Bari in December 1992.
Following unsuccessful trials with both St. Johnstone and Brighton and Hove
Albion, Peter joined Greenock Morton in August 1994 - where his father was
assistant manager.
Later moves took him on to Raith Rovers, Stirling Albion, Clydebank, Ross
County, Stenhousemuir, Albion Rovers, Bo'ness United and finally Arbroath -
retiring in 2006.
Working for the Royal Bank of Scotland, he was recruited by the
Edinburgh-based financial advisers Towry during 2012.
Cormack also worked as a match summariser for a Scottish radio station.

What Else?
|
1 940 Two Wartime
games on the same day with different sides:
1940 Bradford City (h)
3-4 (1-2)
Wartime
Taylor(40,80), Stubbins(64)
Farrington(1,46), Harvey(44),
Whittingham(58)
1,500
Controversy as United claimed a 4-4 draw but the defeat stood. The
Journal reported four Newcastle goals, stating that the visitors were lucky
to leave with a draw despite being 4-1 up just after half time.
The "goal" in question came from Albert Stubbins on 74 minutes,
appeared to go into the corner of the net in 74 minutes.
After the game however referee Harry Nattrass - from mackemland - confirmed that
the ball had hit the side-netting and he had restarted play with a goal kick.
1940 Leeds United (a)
3-1 (2-1)
Wartime
Blackburn, Bradley, Gilholme
Cochrane
2,000
What was described as a senior side won at Leeds while a younger side were
facing Bradford City.
2000 A couple of rumours were reported
in the press: Didier Domi deserting to PSG and Gary Speed leaving for Manchester
City. The former would come to pass.
2001 Gary Speed's red card in the final
game of the season against Aston Villa was rescinded. Our old 'friend' Barry
Knight had sent off both Speed and Villa's Ian Taylor for a very minor scuffle
at SJP.
2003 Peter Beardsley put in one of his
finest performances in a black and white shirt at the tender age of 42. Pedro strapped
on his shooting boots to pound the mackems and smoggies with a staggering
nine-goal salvo at the Telewest Arena on Tyneside.
Newcastle won the Northern Masters indoor football tournament in some style,
beating Boro 5-2 to clinch the title after thumping the mackems 7-1. Beardsley
hit a hat-trick in the final and five against the mackems, adding to one in an
earlier game against Boro.
2005 The Republic of Ireland's World Cup
qualifying campaign got back on track with a 2-0 win in the Faroe Islands.
Shay Given and Stephen
Carr played the full game in T�rshavn as the Irish prevailed 2-0. Newcastle's
Andy O'Brien was sidelined after attempts failed to overturn his unwarranted
dismissal against Israel the previous weekend.
2006 Midfielder Lee
Bowyer returned to West Ham for an undisclosed fee after three chequered years
on Tyneside.
2009 Eight days after Mike Ashley announced his
intention to sell via The Sunday Times, the club put out the following
statement:
"The Board of Newcastle United can today confirm that the Club is for
sale at the price of �100m.
Interested parties should contact Newcastle United at [email protected] (or Keith
Harris at Seymour Pierce) for further details.
The Club will not be making any further comment at the present time."
2010 United boss Chris Hughton refuted speculation linking Andy Carroll
with a move to Chelsea:
"I can say 100% that I have not heard
anything from Chelsea, to me that is just speculation - we�ve got no intention
of seeing Andy Carroll leave Newcastle United.
"The reasons for that are he has the
right profile, he�s a young player and he�s got a big future here with
us."
Both manager and player would be gone within seven months.
2011 After keeping a clean sheet on his debut against Brazil, United's
Tim Krul retained his place in the Dutch side for a friendly against
Uruguay in Montevideo.
A 1-1 meant that a shootout decided who won the Fraternity Trophy; Uruguay
winning 4-3 despite Krul saving a penalty.
2018 Ginger pop prince Ed Sheeran began a three night run of shows at a
sold out SJP, the first live gigs at the ground since 2014.
2022 Newcastle's
first senior arrival of the close season was full back Matt Targett,
on a permanent deal from Aston Villa.
The 26 year-old had spent the second part of the previous season on loan at SJP
and arrived on a four year deal at a cost of �15m that included the loan fee.
2022 Castore's second season as club
kit supplier saw the unveiling of a new home
shirt - and confirmation that sponsors FUN88 remained
for a sixth successive season.
Various media reports asserted that agreement had been reached to curtail the
FUN88 deal early, allowing a more lucrative sponsorship to begin in 2023.
