A fabulous conversation between some of north-east football's great personalities - funny to hear Cloughie tell Gibbo & Dougie to get out of their NE fishing villages & see the world - both had seen @NUFC win the #FairsCup in Budapest 6 years earlier!!!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

51 years since @NUFC recovered from 2-0 down behind the Iron Curtain vs reputedly Europe's best, @ujpestfc1885, winning 3-2 to secure Fairs Cup final glory!

🎉 Today is @NUFC long serving supporter, Alf Marshall’s 97th birthday.

He has witnessed 4 cup wins & watched the Magpies across 🔟 decades - his first game was against Blackburn in 1929 🙌

Still a season ticket holder, he hopes he can return to SJP soon.

All the best, Alf 😊

@NUFC's finest 90 mins? It's 51 years since the Magpies thrashed one of Europe's best teams, @ujpestfc1885, 3-0 in the 1969 #FairsCup final 1st leg. Is this the club's best achievement considering its importance, the opponent & the 60,000+ fans? What do you remember of that day?
