My favourite player was the maverick with the rubber legs. The hat-trick of headers against Barcelona will never be forgotten by the Geordie fans. 1st game for Newcastle is when he showed off some of his party skills against Middlesbrough when he turned the right back inside out and put over the perfect cross for the winning goal. It was the Colombian magician they called Faustino Asprilla.

Newcastle United Foundation have a heritage project for fans of all ages called Toon Times.
Toon Times will culminate with a major Newcastle United exhibition at the Discovery Museum, Newcastle, although in the lead up to this event Toon Times wishes to reach out to all Newcastle United fans across the North East and further afield to get involved and share their memories, experiences, photos and memorabilia what people have collected over the years.
We are supporting the project by helping to collect NUFC memories online - fans can share their memories on the Replay Football website, simply select the Toon Times tag when submitting yours.
