Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I've read pretty much everything there has been written about Hughie Gallacher including lots of old match reports from local and national papers and if he was around today, he'd be one of the best players in the world without a doubt. He had pace to burn, could dribble for fun, was the hardest working player on the pitch, was tough as old boots and could score with either foot and was also decent in the air too. He was also a leader. Mind he was a right worky ticket too. He would fight team-mates, match officials, opposing players, fans and directors alike. He was a superstar in his day, like a film star or royalty. He womanised, was an alcoholic and suffered with depression and anger issues which ultimately led him to his death - throwing himself in front of an incoming train at ironically dead man's crossing. Shearer, Wor Jackie, Super Mac and KK were all huge idols for Toon fans, but I don't think those greats were quite as revered by their respective generation of fans as Hughie was by his. I'd go as far to say that he is NUFC's greatest ever player of all-time alongside a player called Bill McCracken, Gallacher's former team-mate. If Hughie Gallacher was to be a football club it would be Newcastle United. His story is one of huge success and adventure yet also chaos and tragedy.

NJS Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I remember a quote from Milburn's autobiography where he quoted the song they used to sing about Gallagher which went "Do you ken Hughie Gallagher the wee Scotch lad, the best centre forward Newcastle ever had" where Jackie said how true it was. My Dad saw him play for Gateshead as a guest not long before he killed himself and told me he scored a goal where he trapped the ball from a cross with his head against the post and let it drop over the line. Even more remarkable when you consider it would have been an old skool Casey and not a modern ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
