Episode notes

With Newcastle stuck in Division Two, World War II breaks out.

Historian Paul Joannou talks through the War stories of players past, present and future. The club rallied and used the time wisely to stay in touch with the community via regional leagues and developed one of the most promising crop of youngsters ever produced.

We also focus on a legendary local footballer Albert Stubbins and his incredible 237 goals in 217 games for United.

Theme music by Tom Ramsey.
