On this day 10 years ago, Kevin Keegan's Newcastle were lying 17th in the old Second Division

Seems like only yesterday.

With a turnover of £4m and mounting debts.

On the plus side you could still stand in the rain and cheer the lads on, demonstrating your true Geordie grit. Real men don't go to all-seater stadiums. :-)

And 10 years ago tomorrow is the anniversary of our 6-2 defeat at Wolves - the first of 5 defeats in a row which nearly saw us drop to the old third division. We scored 6 goals in 3 games and lost the lot!

In the old First Division, Leeds were top, Manure were second and lying in third place were Sheffield Wednesday! Luton were also up there in the top division. Other teams riding high above us included Cambridge United and Southend.

Just off to find me anorak.
