The Legacy
Michael Owen struggled with fitness while Newcastle United suffered relegation from the Premier League in 2008-2009. Shay Given departed for Manchester City in January, leaving a massive void in goal. Obafemi Martins scored only eight league goals, failing to prevent the drop despite the arrival of Fabricio Coloccini in central defence. Northern Rock remained the front sponsor on this Adidas away kit, but the season ended in disaster with the club finishing 18th. Management turmoil saw Kevin Keegan leave early, followed by Joe Kinnear and Alan Shearer attempting to save the top-flight status without success.
