Who cant you get Mac?

 
Looking at the picture. The two lads to the left of McDonald and the lad between McDonald and Willie McFaul.
 
I didn't even think it was McFaul, I thought it was that bloke who played for Boro. Name on the tip of my tongue. John somebody.

Hendrie ?
 
No. I'm sure he ended up being a co commentator on the telly or somewhere. Always spoke highly of us. Then again, the surname Mills seems to come to mind but he's not called John Mills
 
Some things are starting to be released now ahead of the 125 year thing. Tonight there's a dinner on with all the players and Rafa plus one or two oldies.

Aside from launching a nigh on impossible pick the best Newcastle XI ever, they have released info on the plans for the foundation in the shadow of St James'

The dinner is still on and after an awards ceremony, they have started inducting more names into the hall of fame.

Les Ferdinand was and then Shola has. He was holding back the tears and said he is embarrassed to be associated with so many other greats who are in as he doesn't feel worthy.
 
Not a bad little interview after mind.

Aye, a good read Rexn. But in truth, he never liked getting a sweat on. I take all of your statistical evidence because they're undebatable. He may become a great coach - I hope he does. And I believe he's a truly decent man. But he's in the hall of fame for longevity.
 
Never rated him. Could never understand why so many managers kept him in the squad let alone the first team.

I agree he had a career here far longer than he should have done, which in turn has allowed the honour to come around, but on reflection before his hip issues became an issue, he was better than he's been given credit for. I include myself in that.
