"Lively and absorbing"

Synopsis
This is the full story, unofficial and uncensored, of one of the greatest football clubs in the country. From its birth in the 1890s to its rebirth in the 1990s, "The Toon" tells of a small soccer club, long in the shadow of an enormous rival, which grew to eclipse that rival - and every other club in Great Britain. Roger Hutchinson brings to life the sensational early successes of Newcastle United in late-Victorian and Edwardian times, recreating the great Anglo-Scottish team which dominated the Football League before World War I; he describes the helter-skelter attacking sides of the 1930s and the Cup giants of the 1950s; gives us the European conquerers of the 1960s and the Macdonald and Keegan squads of the 1970s and '80s, before showing us how the most exciting side of all, the international team of all the talents, was assembled to take Newcastle United into the 21st century.

If you are a nufc supporter as i am this is a must buy. For many reasons the main one being this book doesnt just read like a series of match reports like most other detailed historys of football clubs. It is a information station for everything about nufc and it is in chronological order as you would expect. From transfers the club has made from as early as 1900 up the present reign of Sir Bobby Robson. Nothing is left out nor should it be. Great players like Hughie Gallacher and Jackie Milburn are talked about in the context of not just there nufc history but the players own footballing history. Overall this book is an essential purchase for nufc supporters,and anyone who wants to learn about the history of the north easts premier team.

It charts the life of Newcastle United from the inception in 1892 to the present day. This is an easier read than the official club history United: The First 100 Years ...And More by Paul Joannou but lacks it's photos and depth; but because it's a paperback and about A5 size it's just the right size to take into the bath! Not your usual stuffy history text.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all 2 customer reviews...		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
