12 Champions League Winners Who Played For Newcastle
10. Terry McDermott
Played For NUFC: 1972 - 1974 and 1982 - 1984. Appearances: 131, Goals: 18 Won Champions League: 1977, 1987, 1981, Liverpool Two spells with Newcastle sandwiched a glittering eight-year stay at Liverpool where McDermott won a trilogy of European Cups under the legendary Reds manager Bob Paisley between 1977 and 1981 and 17 major honours in total after leaving St James' Park in November 1974. Featuring in all three finals, it is perhaps the showdown with German titans Borussia Monchengladbach that McDermott will reminisce most fondly upon as it was his opening goal in the 28th minute that set Liverpool on the way to a 3-1 victory and their first success in Europe's elite club competition However, we have a sneaky feeling the moustachioed midfielder still regards our Texaco Cup triumph of 40-years ago as the crowning moment of his career. Maybe, just maybe.
