Must have been on Sky?

The side was:

Marshall
Craig
Clark
Elliott
McNamee
Iley
Bennett
Noble
Davies
Hilley
Robson

We were third bottom of division 1, Sunderland were 15th.

It reads " never afraid to enter the transfer market in a big way Newcastle have paid out something like £130,000 on new signings in the last five months"

Great eh?
Hard to believe Stan but I was at that game which we won, I think 1-0 and saved our 1st Div status. I had moved to the Midlands, to a village called Chadwick End, 12 miles south of B'ham for four years from 1964 to 68 so there were plenty of 1st Division teams to visit.
