That Albert goal at the end was simply genius

This was the first football match i watched in my life. Even though i am Greek i don't support any Greek teams but i m a Newcastle fan. I was nearly 10 years old then and thought i was watching the world's best team. Always wanted to visit Newcastle and St James's Park and i managed to do so and watch a PL match in 2011. Newcastle- Everton 2-1. One of the best moments of my life.

That was one hell of a side Newcastle had, should have won the league.

"its phillipe alberrrrrrrttttt ohhh!!!" greatest peice of commentary ever, wish we could have a day like this again

Anyone remember the jokes which followed? What time is it, five past Schmeichel. Schmeichel's wife called him afterwards and asked, "I know your upset but could you be home before six?" Also this was the start of a really bad run by Man United, after this they lost 6-3 to Southampton, 2-1 to Chelsea 1-0 to Juventus and 1-0 to Fenerbahce. Crazy stuff.

I remember listening to BBC Radio 5 live during this match. They were covering a different match but kept going back to the reporter at St James' for every goal. Every time the man said 'and there been another goal at St James's Park' I thought man utd were surely mounting a comeback, but it was our day. That was such a special team put together by king kev. a great day to be a magpie.

One of the BEST days of my life!! ( I was 18 ) Regardless, that we ultimately didn't win a trophy. Performances and memories like these last a lifetime!

Worth remembering that this Man Utd team was nearly full strength - Cantona, Beckham, Scholes (sub) were all playing

Was there...20th October 1996 if Im not mistaken? Cracking neet in the Toon afterwards. What time is it? 5 past Schmeichel!

Albert goal was always one of my favourites. Also Asprilla vs Liverpool with outside of boot

"Phillipe Albeeeeeert.....oh absolutely glorious"

I remember this day like it was yesterday , it was a Sunday match and what a flipping game. Long live Alan shearer

the second goal... 24 years later is still a pearl !!

What a team , what a time that was to be a Newcastle fan

What I'd give to have this team nowadays :(

Fair play to Newcastle,they tore us { Man Utd } apart that day,tough to take but we have done to other teams over the years.

That Albert belter made Andy Gray fume, You could hear the devastation in his voice. 🤣

Andy Gray "the linesman can't give it" "it looks over" what a fool

Ginola, magic!

Love newcastle united from indonesia

ginola was realy great sometimes

Ginola goals still on my mind til Now

Absolutely Majestic, probably the greatest game I've ever seen. Newcastle had some team then,if only we could have held them together. We had David Batty and Rob Lee in the middle, and out attacking we had Peter Beardsley, David Ginola,Les Ferdinand and thee Alan Shearer. If only Keegan had have brought in two world class defenders,we would have won the League a few times and the Champions League, aswell as a couple of league cups and FA Cups. We had a brilliant midfield, David Batty,a proper Defensive Midfielder, for England aswell, and Rob Lee,who could bring the ball out for the forwards, and up in attack it was magic,we had Peter Beardsley, David Ginola,Les Ferdinand and Alan Shearer,plus Tino Asprilla on the bench. If we had of got say Jap Stam and Paolo Maldini,we would have smashed the premier League, and took on the best in Europe. Imagine if Pep Gaudiolla was manager of that lot. We would still be champions now. The Entertainers.

I was going around shops in Newcastle and getting updates here and there it was incredible

Saint James Park has a really special atmosphere. In those days i wasn't specially fascinated by the premier league neither watched it that much( I didn't even understand English and was more Serie A or la Liga Guy) but the crowd, the cheers and the noise in Saint James Park really amazed me.

And Kevin Keegan did love it

Love that Ferdinand goal, double crossbar. I remember watching this game on Sky. Happy days.

Nice quality compared to other videos about this match. :)

Pity they didn't win the title. Open attacking football. No defence......but what a forward line.....

One of most memorable game I watched. Newcastle showed Man U was a pub team.

Andy Grey quickly shut up after the last reply of the first goal

Won’t stop remembering that

albert goal was sublime

Everybody loved that team, shame they never won the league

they must have sold out of hair dryers in manchester that night lol . sir alex looked pissed lol

Glorious!

Them were the days when we used to have players in the box.... what's happened 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Wish i watched this match even as a united fan

David Ginola, fantastic player! 1:15

Very sweet, sweet revenge for what they did to us in the previous season, and at the Charity Shield too.A great, great day. :):):):):)

What a team man!!!!!

What a fucking day that was I wish we get such a side again. Miss those times.

3:53 Siiiiiiiir 😂

Battered them by CLASS. Great game to watch.

Imagine someone told you then that over a quarter of a century later Newcastle would still have no more trophies than they did then. (Top level I mean, I'm not counting winning the division below as they were PL contenders here). ManUtd have won 10 PremierLeague titles since this game, 3 FAcups, 2 ChampionsLeague's (both won in invincible style), a EuropaLeague, 4 LeagueCups, an IntercontinentalCup, a ClubWorldCup, 8 Charity/CommunityShields and got to 2 otherChampionsLeague finals where they were undefeated until meeting Barca in both finals. Furthest Newcastle got in the ChampionsLeague was Last16 and they lost 6 CL games that campaign. Newcastle haven't even been FAcup runners-up as many times as ManUtd since this game. ManUtd have also been PL runners-up 5 more times than Newcastle since this game (Newcastle 97, ManUtd 98, 2006, 2010, 2012, 2018 & 2021) and they've been LeagueCup runners-up 2003 & EuropaLeague runners-up 2021 where as Newcastle haven't managed to get to a final in either competition.

I had that Newcastle shirt. A classic

When Newcastle was Newcastle was when Shearer was Newcastle.

"Oh dear it looks over doesn't it?" after Andy Grey just spent the minute beforehand banging on about how it wasn't!

Perfec

Good header from 2021

Yes. The best football game ever ⚽️

Great win Newcastle. Great individual players. Now show us your medals... ☺

The good times are returning. I would love it if we get some silverware this year. Mbs salute. Nufc salute We are on the come up lads. Go Poch!

Albert best defender from Newcastle utd. In the 90’s

Kool

WHAT A GOALLL!!! 04:11

Was there, and if you looked over you would have seen a grown man crying. Never did get my hankie back off Sir Alex.

I remember that day' Albert goal was the cherry on the cake' now the cake has been trampled and we're fucked good and proper

The look on taggarts face.

Philippa Albert!!!!!!!!!!

Why tf don’t we see more of that Albert goal omg 🥵

Nostalgic

Even now,I have to ask.was it Philippe Albert's birthday on this day? cos at 4.13, Peter Schmeichel surely had gifted him that goal. If not,what was a goalkeeper of His standard doing That far of His goalline??

When game?

Albert!!!

Best. Days

After goal number 3 commentator says "Stanley Martin's (SP) at his best couldn't do that" when referring to Shearer's cross to Ferdinand... Does he say Stanley Martins or some other name? Thanks

My dad was there when he was younger

Probably the best day(football wise) of my life. Maybe beating Barcelona 3-2 runs it close

When it was an utter joy to go to SJP.

#geordie life #best game ever 😀😀😀

I watched this game great result it sine so

How many teams have beaten Ferguson's United by such big margins? Not many, so it was a great feat. Alas Newcastle couldn't win the league.

Nobody remembers Chelsea beat United 5-0 in October 99 either,it’s all wishful we could’ve…

commentetor on 4:13 albeeeeeeeeeeeee hahahahaha
