5 Players Who Have Represented Newcastle And Northampton Town

2. Colin Calderwood

Now we're really starting the scrape the barrel... Colin Calderwood never actually played for either Newcastle nor Northampton, but did have a spell in the management teams at both clubs after his retirement from the game in 2001. The former Tottenham Hotspur captain took his first steps in football management with the Northampton job, leading the Cobblers between 2003-06 to an impressive 74 wins in 154 games, gaining the club to promotion with a second placed finish in League two following two failed play off campaigns. Calderwood then had a topsy-turvy spell in charge of Nottingham Forest, as after a disappointing first season in charge, the Scot led the former European Champions to promotion to the Championship. He was sacked before Christmas of the following campaign. Colin found himself appointed as a first team coach at Newcastle months before the club was relegated from the Barclays Premier League in 2009. He then assisted Chris Hughton in getting The Magpies back up at the first time of asking. He would leave United to manage Hibernian before following Hughton wherever the former Spurs full back's coaching career has taken him.
