WIN - Newcastle United: A Nostalgic Look at a Century of the Club
Sport.co.uk has teamed up with Haynes Publishing to give away THREE copies of Newcastle United: A Nostalgic Look at a Century of the Club.
This is a unique and superbly presented collection of photographs of Newcastle United Football Club from the very early days until 1992, freshly selected from tens of thousands of images in the "Daily Mirror's" extensive archive. These evocative pictures, many of them previously unpublished, chart the rise of one of the most talked about football clubs in the English game.
It isn't about the modern era of football; all-seated stadia, corporate hospitality with champagne and prawn sandwiches, of superstar prima-donnas, foreign imports and football as a 'commercial product'. This is a nostalgic look at Newcastle United Football Club in the days before the Premier League and the huge media circus fed by satellite television.
This book brings to life the nostalgia of a colourful history, from the early days and the Edwardian Masters of the 1900s; the Title and Cup winning sides of the '20s and '30s which had some fabulous characters like Wee Hughie Gallacher, then to the Toon's immediate post-war success with a star-studded line-up with the likes of Milburn and Mitchell.
Moving on through the years and to the treble of Wembley victories, European football - and more silverware! Into the '70s and further Wembley action with larger than life characters like Supermac - while following that came the emergence of the Geordie lads Waddle, Beardsley and Gazza and of course the coming of the Messiah - Kevin Keegan. Keegan captivated Tyneside as the club was transformed at the turn of the '90s and started on what was to be a headlining roller-coaster ride. It's all here.
