10 Key Stats Ahead Of Newcastle United Vs Southampton

3,382 - Days Since McClaren Last Took Charge Of A Side In A Premier League Fixture (As Of Sunday)

The last time Steve McClaren prowled the touchlines as a Premier League manager was way back on May 7th 2006 - that's a full 3,382 days, or more than nine years, ago (come Sunday). On the final day of the 2005-06 Premier League season, McClaren took his Middlesbrough side to Craven Cottage in his final game before being named England boss - but a Heidar Helguson goal saw the Boro felled 1-0 in west London. McClaren will hope for better luck come Sunday when he returns to England's top flight after a near decade-long absence.
