The Newcastle United Football Club (also known as The Magpies and The Toon ) is an English football club from Newcastle upon Tyne in the north east of the country. Newcastle United was in the season 2016/17 master of second-rate EFL Championship and played in the current season in the Premier League . In total, the NUFC has won the Football League First Division four times and the FA Cup six times. The greatest international success in 1969 was winning the Exhibition Cities Cup .

After the founding of Newcastle United, the team played in red uniforms like Newcastle East End until 1894 . Then the club colors changed to today's black and white dress.

The inhabitants call their city in the dialect "Toon". It is believed that this was derived from "Town" over time. Accordingly, the fans of the club refer to themselves as the "Toon Army".

Club history

First successes

Newcastle United won the Football League First Division three times in the early years of the 20th century: in 1905 , 1907 and 1909 . The team was also very successful in the FA Cup in the years before the First World War . In total, she was in the final five times and even won the cup in 1910. The club beat Barnsley 2-0 after the first game ended 1-1. During the 1908/1909 season, the team experienced a low point when the league game against local rivals Sunderland FC was lost 9-1.

After 1910 and 1911, the team reached the final of the FA Cup in 1924. It was the second final game which was played at Wembley Stadium. United beat Aston Villa 2-0 here . At the end of the 1926/1927 season , Newcastle became English champions for the last time. Important players at that time were the then captain of the team Hughie Gallacher , Neil Harris, Stan Seymour and Frank Hudspeth, who was captain and vice-captain of the team himself for a few years.

Between success and relegation

During the 1950s, Newcastle won the FA Cup three times. In 1951 Blackpool FC was beaten and a year later the team beat Arsenal FC . In the 1955 final, Manchester City were defeated 3-1. Newcastle were one of the most successful teams in English football at the time. During this time, players like Jackie Milburn and Bobby Mitchell contributed significantly to the team's success.

In 1962, former team captain Joe Harvey took over as coach of United. Together with Stan Seymour Newcastle should be breathed "new life", as Newcastle had previously been relegated to the Football League Second Division. In 1965 they made it to the highest league in the country.

In 1968 the team qualified for a European competition for the first time. At the Messestädte-Pokal 1968/69 she made it to the final. In the first leg, Newcastle won 3-0 against Újpesti Dózsa SC . In the second leg United were 2-0 behind at halftime, but were able to make the final score of 3-2 perfect during the second half. The trophy went to Newcastle United. With Wyn Davies, the club had a real striker again for a long time.

In the following years, Harvey built a young team that delighted the fans. One of the most popular players at the time was Malcolm Macdonald . In 1974 and 1976 Newcastle made it to the FA Cup and League Cup finals. But it couldn't take the trophy home with it. In 1974 and 1975 the Texaco Cup could be won.

In the early 1980s, the team dismantled and sealed this with relegation to the Second Division. Gordon Lee replaced Harvey as coach during this time. But trainer Arthur Cox paved the way to promotion . He implemented players like Peter Beardsley , Chris Waddle , Terry McDermott and Paul Gascoigne . Former England captain Kevin Keegan joined Newcastle in 1982. 1984 worked the renewed promotion to the First Division, which Newcastle had to leave in 1989.

Kevin Keegan era

In 1992 Kevin Keegan returned to Newcastle United as coach. He replaced Osvaldo Ardiles as coach at that time . At that time, Newcastle was on the relegation ranks of the Football League Second Division, which was then still the second highest football league. The businessman Sir John Hall took over as president. Towards the end of the season, the team managed to save themselves from relegation. The 1992/1993 season got off to a very successful start for Newcastle. The first eleven games could be won before a loss to Grimsby Town stopped the series. On May 4, 1993, the promotion to the Premier League could be made perfect.

Under Keegan, the team played a very successful attacking football and was able to place third at the end of the 1993/1994 season. Back then, the media referred to the team as the “entertainers” because of their way of playing football. In 1995 Andrew Cole, who had previously scored 55 goals in 70 games for Newcastle, was sold to Manchester United. With the resulting transfer profit, the club signed David Ginola and Les Ferdinand and was close to becoming champions at the end of the 1995/1996 season . In the following 1996/1997 season , Newcastle signed last season's top scorer Alan Shearer for £ 15m and again managed to finish second in the league.

Til today

When Sir Bobby Robson took over the helm in 1999, he used the power of the Keegan years and brought Newcastle back into the top four teams in the Premier League in 2002. Robson was dismissed in the 2004/05 season after five matchdays due to unsuccessfulness, the new coach was Graeme Souness .

He too could not prevent slipping into midfield of the league. In February 2006, Souness was released due to the bad season. With interim coach Glenn Roeder and player assistant coach Alan Shearer, the team worked their way up to 7th place at the end of the 2005/06 season , which qualified them for participation in the UEFA Intertoto Cup , the club qualified by beating Lillestrøm SK for the UEFA Cup .

Glenn Roeder was followed by Sam Allardyce. But after a good start he was unable to keep the results and got further and further into the table swamp. He had to resign after just six months. He was followed by a new, old acquaintance named Kevin Keegan, who remained in office for only eight months until his resignation on September 4, 2008. After violent fan protests in the following game against Hull City, in which 14 supporters of the Toons were arrested, the owner Mike Ashley announced that he wanted to sell the club.

As an interim coach, the former Wimbledon manager Joe Kinnear was initially committed to the end of November on September 26th. On March 31, 2009, Alan Shearer replaced the ill Joe Kinnear as coach. At the end of the 2008/09 season Newcastle United rose to the Football League Championship , England's second highest league.

A year later, Newcastle succeeded in direct promotion back to the Premier League on the 42nd of 46 match days . At the beginning of February 2013, eleven French players, including five current senior international players , were under contract with the Magpies ; six of them were used in Newcastle's 3-2 win over Chelsea FC . This prompted France Football to write a multi-page story under the heading “Bienvenue à Neufchâteau” (“Welcome to Newcastle”), in which the city was described with a wink as the “last French colony”.

Newcastle were relegated to the 2nd division in 2016 under coach Rafael Benítez , who came during the season. In the following year, the club managed to rise again as first place in the second division.
