Reseña del editor:

This is the full story, unofficial and uncensored, of Newcastle United Football Club. From its birth in the 1890s to its rebirth in the 1990s, it tells of a small soccer club, long in the shadow of an enormous rival, which grew to eclipse that rival - and every other club in Great Britain. The book describes the attacking sides of the 1930s and the Cup giants of the 1950s; gives us the European conquerors of the 1960s and the Macdonald and Keegan squads of the 1970s and 1980s, before showing us how the most exciting side of all, the international team of all the talents, was assembled to take Newcastle United into the 21st century. It portrays the brilliant management of such as Frank Watt - an early giant of the game - and takes us down through the thrilling decades with his successors, right up to the time of Kenny Dalglish. We see the educated play of Andy Aitken and Colin Veitch; we watch as the fast and furious centre-forward play of Jock Peddie paves the way for the era of the great Hughie Gallacher and the unique Jackie Milburn. It assesses the merits of all of their heirs, from Keegan to Cole, from Macdonald to Shearer, from Moncur to Beardsley, Ginola and Lee.
