Deserves better I think that was done by the Fairs Cup Group so it was entirely fan led and didn’t have anything to do with the club except for permission to place it in the current location. Not great but I guess that was all that they could afford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) When you look at the history of the club there's a good few who deserve more recognition. Frank Watt was club secretary for nearly 40 years while we won 4 league titles and an FA Cup, Andy Cunningham followed him as manager in the modern sense and won an FA Cup, Stan Seymour won two FA Cups. Doug Livingstone won an FA Cup as well. I wouldn't be overly familiar with some of those names only I looked it up to be honest. Given the lack of trophies the club has won in recent decades surely these people who actually achieved success should be honoured in some way around SJP. I've always thought a museum would be a good idea at St James' Park as part of the stadium tour, to tell the story of our league title wins and 6 FA Cup wins amongst everything else in our history. Obviously we haven't won anything in ages but we're still the 9th most successful club in England and we're surely going to win more in the coming years.

There possibly is no Newcastle United without Keegan coming back as manager. There is no more important figure in the modern history of the club. Watt was club secretary and gets credited as a surrogate ‘manager’, but ultimately the team was selected by committee and tactics decided by the players. Watt was simply the most prominent member of the committee. Seymour was of course one of the ‘Mr Newcastle’s’, but he dismantled a side which likely could have won more than two FA Cups and dropped possibly Newcastle’s greatest ever centre back - Frank Brennan - to the reserves because he had the temerity to open up a sporting goods shop (Seymour also owned one). He was a manager who after the 1951 semi final promised every player who played a place in the final side, irrespective of form. Newcastle were just a few points off top spot with games in hand; they then won one of the next eleven as players simply tried to avoid injury. Genius stuff. Doug Livingstone was a manager who dropped Milburn for the ‘55 FAC Final before the board actively stepped over him and forced Milburn’s selection. Milburn scored after 55 seconds. Hardly a ringing endorsement of his managerial abilities. Edited January 22 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
