Football historian shares incredible 121 year old footage of Newcastle United win against Everton

A football historian has shared incredible footage of Newcastle United and Everton playing against each other over a century ago in League Division One.

Iain McMullen who’s behind The Football and First World War Twitter account shared the clip and said: ‘Here’s one for the Evertonians- this video of Goodison Park is 121 years old and shows a game between Everton and Newcastle United.

‘It was played in front of 20,000 on 13 September 1992 and ended in 1-0 victory for the away side.’

The goal was scored by Willie Stewart, a right winger who seems to have only stayed on Tyneside for a short time.

Newcastle United’s top goalscorer for the 1902/03 season was Bill Appleyard who signed for the club in April 1903.

He ended up scoring 16 goals in 31 matches that season to put him in the top spot.

Appleyard went on to score 71 goals for the club in 126 appearances across the six years he played for the Magpies.
