Favourite Newcastle player pre-1970s

I read about Wyn Davies awhile back, sounded like a great player!

Wyn was fantastic - and a lovely bloke now too.
you all missed Ron Mcgarry and Jim Scott and Jackie Sinclair - off that list.

i would also have loved to see Hughie gallagher ( as someone else mentioned) and the robledo brothers !

ronnie simpson was a great goalie too as was iam mcfaul

Len White,started as a right winger and took the corner when Milburn scored in the first minute of the 55 Cup Final.

White then got the 9 shirt when Milburn joined Linfield.He could strike a ball almost as hard as Milburn but was better on the ball.

The toons 3rd highest ever goal scorer and once scored all five goals for the Football League in a win against the Irish but still never got an England cap.
He would have got even more goals but for an over the ball tackle by Dave Mackay which eventually put him out of the game.

The best goal I seen him score was in an FA Cup game against the League Champions Wolves.
He got the ball near the left corner flag at the Gallowgate end and hit a screamer which got stuck in the stancion on the right of the goal.
