3. Big Duncan's Explosive Goal
Almost twelve years before Demba Ba, Yohan Cabaye and Phil Jones hit the net to beat Man Utd 3-0 last year, the Magpies picked up the same result in the same venue, thanks in no small part to the exceptional input of giant Scottish striker, and part-time mentalist Duncan Ferguson, who put the Red Devils to the sword with a stunning half-volley over his shoulder in this February 2000 match at St James. Freshly returned from the World Club Cup, having turned their back on the FA Cup infamously, and with a treble under their belt from the year before, Man United were packed with the same talent who had picked up those awards, and were rolled over by a rampaging Newcastle side who had remained unbeaten at home since Sir Bobby Robson had taken over. The most ridiculous of things associated with this game for Newcastle fans is the presence on the bench of the worst Brazilian footballer to have ever claimed the title of professional footballer - Fumaca.
