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.
5. LB - Dan Burn
While not his best position, Burn simply had to be in there. The Blyth native is etched into Geordie folklore for his Wembley header last month but Premier League and Champions League contributions should not be overlooked. | Getty Images
6. CM - Rob Lee
Lee proved one of Newcastle's most astute buys, scoring goals from midfield throughout his decade on Tyneside. Few could argue with his inclusion. | Getty Images
7. CM - Bruno Guimaraes
A player who epitomises this new era of Newcastle United. Guimaraes is the best midfielder anyone under the age of 30 has seen at St James' Park - and was the captain who finally delivered silverware. | Getty Images
8. CM - Gary Speed
A tricky call to pick the final midfielder, with systems and formations coming into play, but Speed shaded it. His left foot, box-to-box ability and leadership qualities would work wonders in this team. | Getty Images
