    No. 7. It'll have to be Krul as a 100%

    Then my personal favourite the one and only Shola Ameobi for the Super Eagles

    I'd also guess some of our french contingent - Sissoko, Debuchy and Cabaye

    Cisse maybe?

    They didn't really merge,Newcastle went bust and East End took over the lease on SJP,they still wore their red strip for the first season in the League.One of the suggestions for their new name was Rangers.

    Answer

    1. Which four players scored the most goals for England while with Newcastle United?

    The four players that scored the most goals for England while with Newcastle United are Alan Shearer (20 Goals), Jackie Milburn (10 Goals), Michael Owen (8 Goals) and Malcolm Macdonald (6 Goals).


    2. Why do Newcastle United play with Black & White striped shirts? (this answer is open to debate)

    Newcastle United played in red shirts, but an away game at Nottingham Forest in January 1892 saw a colour clash. A set of shirts borrowed from local rivals Notts County saw Newcastle play in their now famous Black & White striped kit.

    To be honest, I know that East end used to play in red tops with white shorts and because there were so many colour clashes we ended up using our second kit more often than our first kit but I hadn't heard about the Notts County thing previously.
