Everyone has their favourite teams, and stand by them, rooting out for them every season. Yet, we often have this other team, where we just have a soft spot for. Usually, its for the way the team plays. Flowing football, gritty football, we each have our own likes/dislikes.
I'm sure everybody knows which team I've always supported. But yet, during those years, I've always had a soft spot for another team. In fact, I must add that lotsa pple have a similar soft spot for this team too. Call it, the "People's Team"..
That's right, I'm talking about Newcastle United. Everyone remembers that season in 95, where they threw away a 15 point lead to Manchester United. But another reason people remember Newcastle United, is that they are often synonymous with the term, "Flowing Football".
Ok, maybe not the current batch, but from Keegan's days till the end of Bobby Robson's reign, we often look out for how Newcastle fairs in games. Ginola, Asprilla, Shearer, Ferdinand, Beardsley, Andy Cole, the list goes on.
So with that, lets roll back the years, and enjoy some glorious football played on arguably, the defining moment of the "People's Team"...
Newcastle Utd 5 Manchester Utd 0.. I remember taunting every single Mancunian I could see that week at school.. Harh..
