Why Is Toon No 9 So Special?

Last updated : 02 July 2011 By Footy Mad - Editor

With Pardew still targeting a striker as one of the two players he hopes to add to his squad in this transfer window, next season’s number nine may not yet be at the club.

New centre-forward Demba Ba has already been assigned number 19.

Alan Pardew: “The number nine shirt is equally important.

“I will leave the number nine as late as I can.

“I know just what that shirt means to this football club, but there will be a few contenders who could wear that shirt and do it justice.

“It is an important shirt and I might think of giving it to a player who doesn’t get weighed down by it.

"I will have to assess the characters of the players to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

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."
