England played a historic friendly game over in America in 2005 which featured a number of what would then have been considered present and future Magpies. Jermaine Jenas, who was a matter of weeks away from departing Newcastle for Spurs, started the game alongside future United midfielder Alan Smith. While Sol Campbell, who 'played' for Newcastle during the club's first season back in the big time remember, started in the heart of the England defence. Future mackem Kieran Richardson struck a double on his debut to give England victory.
