The Legacy

Greenall's sponsored Newcastle United throughout a 1987-1988 campaign that ended in relegation from the First Division. Umbro provided the equipment for a side anchored by Glenn Roeder in central defence. Paul Gascoigne delivered moments of brilliance before his eventual departure, while Mirandinha became the first Brazilian to play in the English top flight. The group struggled to find defensive stability, resulting in a 20th-place finish and a return to the Second Division after four years among the elite.

Key Moment

Paul Gascoigne played his final season for Newcastle United in 1987-88 before his British-record transfer to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 1988.
