6th November 1958 Kevin Carr born, Morpeth. (1976-85)
Goalkeeper who came to United via a brief spell at Burnley and made his first team debut midway through the 1977-78 season, returning to play in the final games after our relegation fate had been sealed. After leaving SJP, Carr played on for Carlisle with later moves to Darlington and Hartlepool before a brief non-contract spell at the smoggies saw him fail to play a game. His final games came for Blyth Spartans and Bedlington Terriers, while he also appeared for the England Police XI after joining the Northumbria force.
1974 Carlos Daniel Cordone born Buenos Aires, Argentina (2000-01). Striker who arrived from Racing Club in his native Argentina in a £500K one-season loan deal. Cordone moved to SJP shortly after fellow countryman Bassedas and started well in pre season, scoring at DC United on the US tour. Drawing a blank in an opening day defeat at Old Trafford, "The Wolfman" netted in his next two games, at home to Derby & Spurs - after having had an operation to remove his soldered-in earrings (at the FA's insistence). However he faded badly after that and his flowing locks were seen less and less as the season progressed, just one more goal coming his way - in the League Cup. Cordone's final competitive appearance came in the 1-1 "Andy O'Brien" game at the mackems, before he bowed out with two goals in a testimonal game at West Brom in early May 2001. Thereafter he returned to his home country and Racing, later moves taking him on to San Lorenzo, Argentino de Merlo & Independiente Rivadavia. That wasn't quite the end of the story however, with English newspapers picking up on several lurid tales of positive drugs tests and one of possession of a firearm whilst travelling to watch his favourite team, Alem.

2006 Some mystical words of 'wisdom' from Chairman Freddy Shepherd following the disastrous home defeat by Sheffield United.
"I don't get upset by the protests."
"I love all the supporters because I'm one of them and don't have any problem with Geordies. If things were different I might be with them calling out about someone else.
"I've got to do what's best for the business, not me, and if a Geordie Abramovich knocked on the door we'd have to do business.
"I'd gladly do whatever to secure him but I don't want to lead supporters up a cul-de-sac because there's no-one there.
"I will not walk out on the business. I've made mistakes but so has everyone in football. I am from Byker and I used to fight my way into school and fight my way out again.
"The biggest criticism is I've been too kind to managers with funds and too generous to players but we have the weather and we are competing with Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester United and we are 300 miles from London.
"We're on the verge of the Roman Empire, which is why they built the wall."
2007
Assisted by goalkeeping coach Adam Sadler, Terry McDermott took charge of our reserve side when they met their Everton counterparts at the Halton Stadium of the Widnes Vikings Rugby League side. And after a scoreless first half, Newcastle took the lead just after the hour mark when Shola Ameobi netted from the penalty spot.However, just when we looked like registering our first away league success of the season, the home side levelled in added time through teenage striker Jutkiewicz - Southampton born despite the name, but of Polish descent.
