Almost 46 years.... Newcastle's last major trophy win came in the form of the Inter Cities Fairs Cup on 11 June 1969. In what was a two legged affair, United triumphed over jpesti Dózsa 6-2 on aggregate. It's sad to think that as long as Mike Ashley owns Newcastle United, this footballing behemoth will NEVER win a cup. After all, if they were to have a cup run, there's a 40% chance they would be relegated. Mathematics by NUFC for you there. Barmy.
