On This Day In Newcastle United's History - August 11th
What happened NUFC-wise on this day in history?
There's never a dull day as far as Newcastle United Football Club is concerned. It's a cliche that's far-too often used in connection with the Magpies - but that's because, for the large part, it is 100% true.
It's not always doom and gloom on Tyneside, however, with the Toon Army providing extreme highs - as well as the unfortunately painful and bitter lows, admittedly - down the years.
With the club having been formed all the way back in 1892, it is hard to keep track of exactly what happened at Newcastle on a specific date in history. Football in the modern era is a 365-day operation - with nine months of the year filled with matches, press conferences and the like, and the rest of the calendar dominated by transfers and managerial changes (of which the Magpies have had more than their fair share).
But what exactly has happened on August 11th throughout Newcastle United's history? Were there any famous wins or heart-breaking defeats? Did they sign or sell any players? Did any managers arrive or depart? Or do any players, past or present, celebrate a birthday on August 11th? Or did we unfortunately lose any former Magpies on this day in history?
