Toon Play Barnsley In Carling Cup

Last Updated : 17-Aug-2007 by
The Football League Cup has had many names, but has never been lifted by a Newcastle United captain.

The competition started in the 1960/61 season and Newcastle lost to Colchester United 4-1 in their first fixture, and to be honest, there hasn't been much glory since.

United beat Tottenham in the 1975/76 season 3-1 at St James' Park to overturn a 1-0 defeat at White Hart Lane and reach their one and only final.
They played Manchester City at Wembley but lost 2-1.

Ex-Sunderland winger and Newcastle-born Dennis Tueart scored the winner with an incredible 'bicycle kick' and picked up his winners medal wearing a black and white shirt.

That is the closest we have come.

United's side that day: Mahoney, Nattrass, Kennedy, Barrowclough, Keeley, Howard, Burns, Cassidy, Macdonald, Gowling, T Craig. Cannell was sub.
