Every man wearing a black-and-white shirt - as well as Eddie Howe and his coaching staff - became Newcastle United legends last month. The Magpies finally ended 70 years without domestic silverware when they put Liverpool to the sword in the Carabao Cup final.
Dan Burn’s header, Alexander Isak’s first-time finish and Howe’s smile as wide of the Tyne will forever be etched into Geordie folklore. But how does that stack up when re-evaluating the club’s all-time Premier League XI?
For years, the results were set in stone as few threw their names into the conversation during the Mike Ashley era. But a wave of new-found icons have shaken up the debate - with six current players making NewcastleWorld’s starting line-up.
Do you agree? Has anyone been missed out? The team lines up in a 4-3-1-2 formation, with the wingers clipped despite the Magpies boasting an abundance of talent out wide over the years.
1. GK - Shay Given
A few have shown signs of accomplishing great things between the sticks since Given left in 2009. They have all failed to surpass him, however, with the Irishman comfortably holding onto the No.1 spot. | Getty Images
2. RB - Kieran Trippier
It is telling that Trippier could have been added into this team after 20 games for the Magpies. He was the first to take the leap of faith following the Saudi-backed takeover and what a risk that turned out to be. | Getty Images
3. CB - Fabian Schar
The Carabao Cup win cements Schar in this starting line-up. Few can do what he is capable of with a football - but he also defends! A modern-day great at St James' Park. | Getty Images
4. CB - Philippe Albert
A man who epitomised the "Entertainers" era under Kevin Keegan. An attack-minded centre-back - and who could forget that chip against Manchester United? | Getty Images
