14 Unbelievable Facts About Newcastle Since The Start Of The Premier League

14. United Lost Their First Barclays Premier League Game

Saturday August 14th, 1993: Newcastle United 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur This is the most logical place to start, right? 35,216 supporters turned out to see United return to the big time, but left disappointed after a 36th-minute Teddy Sheringham effort saw Spurs leave St James' Park with a 1-0 win.
