Newcastle United Cult Heroes by Dylan Younger

Newcastle United Cult Heroes by Dylan Younger

Newcastle United Cult Heroes is devoted to those players who, over the years, have won a special place in the hearts of the St James' Park faithful - not necessarily the greatest footballers, but a unique brotherhood of mavericks and stalwarts, local lads and exotic imports. The cast list alone is enough to stir up the memories and tug at the heartstrings of any United fan - Gallacher, Milburn and Mitchell, Keegan, Gascoigne and Shearer - recalling how these charismatic personalities used to ignite passion on the terraces. Find out which black-and-white icon broke a curfew to go out boozing two nights before winning the FA Cup. Whose shot was so fearsome it broke a goalkeeper's arm, and who was the insecure yet brutal number 9 of whom a team-mate confessed: "He petrified me!" Discover and delight in the magical qualities of these 20 mere mortals elevated to cult status on Tyneside.
