Ahh I remember everyone shaved their heads for cancer and BKs mum except for Taggart
Taggart, Griff, Heskey and Bridges - how about that for a strikeforce?
Compared to what we have now.
OTD 2015: A hail storm prior to a match sees 4162 people attend a Hunter Stadium clash with Perth Glory.
Jets lose 2-0 but the biggest talking point is the unfurling of a banner saying "Enough Failure, Lies + Arrogance. 10000 Fans Demand The Muppet Gone"

You think anyone cbf? nah, drink scotch man
In 34 seasons of National League participation Newcastle have won in the first round 12 times.
Of those 12 times there have only been 3 occasions where Newcastle have scored 4 or more goals and on each time a Newcastle player has scored a Hattrick.
1996-97 Newcastle Breakers 6 vs West Adelaide 1. Scorers Bennet 62, 67, 69, 72, Thomas 78 and Sprod 80
1997-98 Newcastle Breakers 4 vs West Adelaide 2. Scorers Zane 9, 11, 25pk, Bennett 79.
2017-18 Central Coast Mariners 1 vs Newcastle United Jets. Scorers O'Donovan 9, 28, 38, Champness 81, D Petratos 90.
Roy O'Donovan's Hattrick is only the 12th in Newcastle's 900+ game history.

Had a couple of blokes come up and ask about the KB shirts Todd. Might be worth investigating another run

Went through the cupboard Saturday and had to give up as all the shirts I have are for the fat **** I used to be and way too big for us

There's a few more things to come, I just have to work on the formatting when I get some time.
I've sent these on to the club, because they should be on the "History" page of the website but it's still to go up and it needs to be captured somewhere - so here it is!

Happy 40th Birthday - Newcastle KB United and National representation of this fine
city in the Philips Soccer League and other leagues beyond.
It was an honour and privilege to attend the luncheon last Friday. I was seated between
Graham Heys and Con Mitsios. Other legends a the table were Craig Mason, David 'Jonah' Jones,
Peter Willis as well as former directors of various club incarnations David Brown and Eddie Boards.
40 years ago today Newcastle KB United played Sydney City Hakoah and lost 1-4. The crowd according to OzFootball records
was 15,067. Kenny Boden scored the club's first goal - a pen.
It's taken 40 years but Saturday night felt like we were back to something of those halcyon days.
May they long continue - with full community support this time.
