The Legacy

Greenall Whitley appeared on the front of this kit throughout the 1987-1988 First Division campaign. Newcastle United finished 8th that year under manager Willie McFaul. Paul Gascoigne pulled the strings in midfield before his move to Tottenham, often linking up with Glenn Roeder at the back. Up front, the club introduced Brazilian forward Mirandinha, who became the first player from his country to play in the English top flight. Despite the individual talent, the team struggled for consistency throughout the league schedule.
