It is exactly 16 years since Newcastle United haunted bitter rivals Sunderland on Halloween.
It was a 5-1 demolition job at St James’ Park, with the Magpies taking a 3-0 lead into half-time thanks to a brace from Kevin Nolan and a Shola Ameobi penalty.
Titus Bramble saw red for the Black Cats early in the second half, and United went on to extend their advantage as Ameobi made it 4-0 before Nolan completed his hat-trick.
Darren Bent then grabbed a consolation goal for the visitors in stoppage time.
To mark the anniversary of a famous Newcastle victory, we take a look at what the players in black and white that day are up to now.
