The United No 2 has taken time out of his holiday to make sure no stone is unturned for the black-and-white cause.

Carver will meet up with his old manager Paul Mariner, now coach of Toronto FC.

Carver – also a former Toronto FC manager – continues to underline Newcastle United's extensive scouting network on a visit to Canada to look at potential young talent and observe training methods.

During the trip, Carver has been fine-tuning preparations for United's US tour in two weeks' time and getting the inside track on friendly opponents such Columbus Crew and Sporting Kansas City.

Carver: “I am looking forward to going back – it will be the first time I have been back since I left.

“It will be great to see some old friends, like Malcolm Phillips and Paul Mariner – who I worked with at Plymouth – is also there.

“I will also hopefully see Mo Johnston, who still lives out there.

“This will be a useful fact-finding mission and it can only be of benefit.

“It is always very helpful to see how other people are doing things and if there are any stand-out players who catch the eye.

“I am looking forward to seeing the Toronto fans, who were brilliant with me.

“I have a lot of time for the club – they were very good to me.”

FOREWORD BY FAIRS CUP HERO JOHN McNAMEE

JM

Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me.

"I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'!

"Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down.

"Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff.

"I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
