Here are Football-timelines.com Top 10 Greatest Newcastle Players of All Time:-
Alan Shearer
Alan Shearer is not only Newcastle United’s greatest player but also one of the Premier League's all-time greats. The hometown hero returned to Newcastle in 1996 for a then-world record fee after winning the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers. During his ten years at the club, Shearer scored 206 goals, cementing his place as the club’s top goal scorer. Known for his powerful shots, heading ability, and penalty prowess, Shearer epitomized loyalty and passion, staying with the Magpies despite trophy disappointments. His leadership and dedication inspired a generation of Newcastle fans, and his iconic one-arm celebration is still synonymous with St. James' Park.
Jackie Milburn
Jackie Milburn, affectionately known as "Wor Jackie," was a key figure in Newcastle United's golden era during the 1950s. Milburn’s pace, intelligence, and clinical finishing led Newcastle to three FA Cup victories (1951, 1952, and 1955). His 200 goals for the club made him Newcastle’s all-time leading scorer for decades until Shearer surpassed him. Beyond his achievements on the pitch, Milburn became a beloved figure in Newcastle folklore, and his legacy is commemorated with a statue and a stand named after him at St. James' Park.
Peter Beardsley
Peter Beardsley is remembered as one of the most skillful and creative players to don the black and white jersey. A native Geordie, Beardsley had two spells with Newcastle—first from 1983 to 1987 and then returning in 1993. During the 'Entertainers' era under Kevin Keegan, Beardsley was instrumental in Newcastle's rise in the Premier League, with his mazy dribbles, pinpoint passes, and goal contributions making him a fan favourite. His versatility allowed him to excel as both a forward and an attacking midfielder, contributing 58 goals and 33 assists in 185 Premier League games for Newcastle.
Paul Gascoigne
Paul Gascoigne, "Gazza," was one of England’s most naturally gifted midfielders, and his breakthrough came with Newcastle United. He broke into the first team in the mid-1980s, impressing with his skill, creativity, and fearlessness on the ball. Although his time at Newcastle was relatively short (1984–1988), it laid the foundation for his illustrious career. Gazza's dazzling dribbling skills and his ability to score spectacular goals made him an instant favourite among the Toon Army, and his 1987/88 campaign earned him a British record transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
Kevin Keegan
Kevin Keegan’s impact at Newcastle United extends far beyond his playing career. As a player from 1982 to 1984, he scored 49 goals in just 85 appearances, leading the team with his tenacity and goal-scoring prowess. Despite joining Newcastle in the twilight of his playing career, Keegan’s charisma and leadership galvanised the team, inspiring their promotion push. Later, as a manager, Keegan returned to lead Newcastle’s exciting 'Entertainers' era in the 1990s, bringing attacking football and joy to St. James' Park, and forever earning a place in the club's history.
Shay Given
Shay Given is regarded as one of Newcastle United's finest goalkeepers, known for his shot-stopping ability, agility, and consistency between the posts. Given spent 12 seasons at Newcastle (1997–2009), during which he made 463 appearances in all competitions, making him the most capped goalkeeper in the club’s history. He was a key part of the team during their runs in domestic and European competitions, consistently producing heroic performances that earned him accolades from fans and peers alike. Given’s loyalty and consistency make him an irreplaceable figure in Newcastle’s modern era.
Hughie Gallacher
Hughie Gallacher was one of Newcastle United's most prolific forwards and led them to their last league title in 1926/27. Standing at only 5ft 5in, Gallacher's tenacity, finishing ability, and incredible work rate made him a nightmare for defenders. In just five seasons at Newcastle, he scored 143 goals in 174 appearances—a remarkable record that showcased his quality as a goal-scorer. Gallacher’s fiery personality and immense talent made him a legend of his time, and his contribution to the club’s last league championship has solidified his status as a Newcastle great.
Malcolm Macdonald
Malcolm Macdonald, nicknamed 'Supermac,' was known for his explosive pace, power, and goal-scoring instincts. During his time at Newcastle from 1971 to 1976, he scored 138 goals in all competitions, becoming a fan favourite with his fearless style of play. Macdonald famously scored a hat-trick on his home debut against Liverpool, instantly endearing himself to the Toon Army. His dynamic performances and prolific scoring made him one of the most exciting strikers in the club’s history, and his name remains synonymous with attacking flair at St. James' Park.
Bobby Moncur
Bobby Moncur holds the distinction of being the last Newcastle captain to lift a major trophy, leading the team to victory in the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. Moncur was a commanding central defender known for his leadership, tough tackling, and composure on the ball. His role in that European triumph has made him a symbol of resilience and success for Newcastle fans. Despite playing in an era when silverware was hard to come by, Moncur’s commitment to the club and his captaincy during their last major triumph make him a true legend of Newcastle United.
Rob Lee
Rob Lee was a central figure in Newcastle United’s 'Entertainers' era under Kevin Keegan, playing as a box-to-box midfielder with great energy, vision, and an eye for goal. Signed in 1992, Lee played over 300 games for Newcastle, and his role in helping the club rise to the Premier League and compete at the top level was pivotal. He contributed vital goals from midfield and formed a formidable partnership with the likes of David Ginola and Peter Beardsley. Lee’s dedication and consistency during his decade-long stay at the club earned him a special place in the hearts of Newcastle fans.
