The Legacy
Willie McFaul managed Newcastle United for the 1988-1989 First Division season. The club struggled significantly, eventually finishing 20th and suffering relegation to the Second Division. Umbro manufactured the kit worn during this difficult campaign, which featured the Greenall's sponsor on the front. Midfielder Kevin Brock worked in the middle of the pitch alongside John Hendrie. The team also relied on the attacking flair of Mirandinha, who had arrived the previous year as the first Brazilian to play in English league football. Despite these efforts, results remained poor throughout the year.
Key Moment
