Williamson Misses States Tour

The defender broke his arm at the club’s Benton base last month and was ruled out of the final three matches of the season after a pull-up exercise went wrong.

Former Watford and Portsmouth man Williamson underwent surgery on the day of the accident in a bid to speed up his recovery for the new campaign.

However, he is highly unlikely to figure in any of the opening friendly encounters of the Magpies’ pre-season programme, meaning he will miss the three matches of United’s tour of the United States next month.

But it remains to be seen whether he will be fit enough for selection in the opening Premier League game of the campaign on the weekend starting August 13.

FOREWORD BY FAIRS CUP HERO JOHN McNAMEE

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."
