From the Publisher:
Newcastle's history is littered with the biggest names in goalscoring; Shearer, Milburn, Owen, MacDonald, Keegan, Cole & Ferdinand. In Newcastle's Cult Heroes Dylan Younger examines this cult of the number nine and assesses just who was the greatest of them all. In fact with the Geordie penchant for entertaining football is it a goalscorer who is considered Tyneside's finest amongst fans? Controversially, is it someone more with the silky skills of Gascoigne or Beardsley? Or maybe a goalkeeper, defender or inspirational captain? The impact of each player on Newcastle's fortunes is discussed at length, while the many stories and anecdotes which led to their rising to cult status are relived in full with numerous exclusive interviews and new revelations thrown in. Published in Autumn 2006 in the immediate aftermath of Alan Shearer's retirement, this book is sure to ignite a huge debate in the North East about his place in Newcastle's history.
