On this day 1988

The death of Jackie Milburn, record holder for Newcastle Utd. with 200 goals.

The record stood until 2006, when Alan Shearer passed it (with 201 goals, for any Swedish reader).

Mr Tony Blair, the Christian multi-millionaire, and mad-keen N.U. fan, used to claim to well remember seeing Jackie play. He retired when he was 4 (i.e. Jacks retired when little Tony was 4.)

NU, currently in Division 2, have just paid £2 million to Kev Keegan, one of their numerous ex-managers.
