Colin Veitch
Captain of the first great Newcastle side. Three league titles (1905, 1907, 1909) and the 1910 FA Cup. Footballer, composer, socialist — a true Edwardian polymath.
The players who turned matchdays into memories. From the Entertainers to Sir Bobby's Champions League nights — the men who pulled on the black and white and made it mean something.

One vote per fan per month. Results refresh live. Winner gets bragging rights.
The men the city decided to keep forever — in bronze, on Strawberry Place and Barrack Road.

5ft 5in of pure goal. Captained Newcastle to the 1926/27 league title and scored 36 in the campaign. Still pound-for-pound the greatest finisher the club has ever had.
Wor Jackie. Three FA Cups in five years (1951, 1952, 1955) and a 45-second header to open the '55 final. The original Geordie number 9.
Mitch. The Scottish winger who supplied Milburn and won all three of the 1950s FA Cups. Twelve years of left-foot magic.
Lifted two FA Cups as captain, then came back to manage Newcastle to the 1969 Fairs Cup. Mr Newcastle United for three decades.
Captain on the night Newcastle lifted the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup — and scored twice in the final. The last man to lift a major trophy for the club.
Supermac. Sideburns, swagger, and 121 goals in five seasons. Arrived in a Rolls-Royce and left it all on the St James' pitch every week.
Came in '82 and woke the club up. 48 goals in 78 games, promotion in 1984, and a helicopter farewell that planted the seed for everything that followed.
Two spells, one love. The Geordie playmaker who linked everything in Keegan's Entertainers and still smiled like he couldn't believe his luck.
41 goals in 1993/94. A blur of movement and a finish for every occasion. His January 1995 sale to United still hurts.
Magnifique. The Frenchman who turned full-backs inside out and gave the Premier League its most glamorous left foot.
Sir Les. 25 league goals in his debut season as Newcastle threatened to win the lot. Power, leap, and a permanent grin.
World record £15m to come home. 206 goals for his boyhood club. Number 9. Captain. Legend. One arm aloft forever.
Keegan told him Newcastle was closer to London than Middlesbrough. Ten years, three Wembley finals, and a midfield engine that never stopped.
The Belgian sweeper with a wand of a left foot. The chip over Schmeichel in the 5-0 lives rent free on Tyneside.
Nobby. Set-piece dead-eye, trumpet player, and the right-sided heartbeat of Sir Bobby's best sides.
Class on the pitch, class off it. Six seasons of relentless quality in the engine room. Forever missed.
Pace, edge, and the goal at Feyenoord that put Newcastle in the Champions League proper. Loved the badge as much as anyone.
Twelve years of reflex saves and quiet brilliance between the sticks. 354 appearances and a place in every Geordie heart.
Electric on the front foot, drove Sir Bobby's Champions League side. Injuries cruel, talent undeniable.
The bosses who built eras. From Frank Watt's Edwardian dynasty to Eddie Howe ending the trophy drought.
The architect of Newcastle's first golden age. Secretary-manager for 37 years, three league titles and an FA Cup. Built the club from the ground up.
Player, manager, director, chairman — Mr Newcastle United. Guided the club to the 1951 and 1952 FA Cups in his second spell in charge.
Captain in the 50s, gaffer in the 60s and 70s. Won promotion in 1965 and delivered the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup — the last major trophy until 2024.
Walked back in and changed everything. First Division title in 1993, second in the Premier League twice, and football so good it had its own name. "I would love it…"
Came home. Took a club in 19th to three top-five finishes, two Champions League campaigns and the 8-0 against Sheffield Wednesday. A knight of the realm and of Tyneside.
Took over with the club bottom of the league and turned them into Champions League regulars. Ended the 70-year domestic trophy drought with the 2025 Carabao Cup.
