2. Newcastle Win Their First-Ever Match On A Sunday - Swansea City vs NUFC (Division Two, October 1983)
There was something unique about Newcastles trip to Swansea in October 1983, and it wasnt merely down to the reappearance of those legendary silver shirts. The game was due to take place on the Saturday, but bad weather saw the game moved to the following day, meaning United were all set to play their first-ever Sunday fixture. And the diehard Toon fans who stayed on a further 24-hours were recompensed with the clubs third win in a row. Kenny Wharton headed in Terry McDermotts free-kick in the opening minutes before David Mills snatched a second-half winner. And those who stuck around even longer in South Wales saw their team beat Cardiff City 2-0 just three days later.
