Fairs Cup 50th Anniversary (1969-2019)
Some of the recent newspaper coverage of the ongoing build-up to the 50th Anniversary . . Newcastle United's Fairs Cup side will return to Budapest for the 50th anniversary of their triumph The Chronicle, 20th November 2018 Newcastle United last lifted silverware back in 1969 when the Magpies won the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and in June this year (2019) half-a-century will have passed since Newcastle United last lifted a major trophy. For Newcastle United's Left Back at the time, Frank Clark, the moment he stepped off the plane from Hungary to receive the adulation of the masses back in the North East remains as vivid now as it did then. Clark said "The memories of playing for this famous club never fade, but things have certainly changed since my time playing at St James' Park," he added, clearly dismayed at the thought that he was a member of the last Newcastle squad to lift a trophy. The 50th-anniversary celebrations are only just beginning for the Fairs Cup side. In June, Clark will join his team-mates in returning to the stadium in Budapest where Newcastle secured their last piece of silverware. Bizarrely, Ujpest are just as keen to celebrate the anniversary as the former Newcastle players are - which Clark himself struggles to comprehend. Having played during the Magpies' embarrassing FA Cup defeat at Hereford United in February 1972, Clark would not want to relive such painful memories as those - but, for Ujpest, losing to Newcastle in that final was a huge moment in their history. "We are heading over to Hungary at the end of the year, which should be special," Clark continued. "It's something I only found out about recently when the other members of the Fairs team were telling me, but it seems Ujpest really want to celebrate it too. Read More - https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spor...s-cup-15437032 Newcastle United's fearless class of 1969 were capable of beating anyone on their day. Celebrating 50 years since the Magpies' Fairs Cup victory The Chronicle, 20th November 2018 It is, for Newcastle United’s passionate yet starved supporters of the faith, the greatest achievement this last half century. Because not only does it represent United’s last silverware gained on a major battlefield but the only European conquest in a history stretching back over 125 years. The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the forerunner of the UEFA Cup and Europa League, was dramatically claimed as the Swinging Sixties came to a kaleidoscope climax. Long enough ago for a vast swathe of fans to have not even been born and for those who were to now be old-aged pensioners as indeed are the heroes who achieved so much on behalf of every committed Geordie. Now, however, we are about to pay homage to those mighty men of the Tyne on the Fairs Cup 50th anniversary. Maybe the names are brought to life through grainy flickering TV shots or from the dusty pages of books but they stride United history as giants. The class of 1969 are to be honoured and I will be privileged once again to be by their side leading the applause. They will eventually be officially feted by the club of course, probably in September, but beforehand it will happen in Budapest where the trophy was won on a warm June night by the Danube and where we will return for a four-day trip of dripping nostalgia. That will take place with Ujpest as our hosts when we will once again meet those players who provided the final obstacle as well as take in Hungary’s international match against Wales as guests of the Hungarian Football Federation. It was my privilege to witness all these men in their pomp and call them friends. They have a place in the annals of Newcastle United that has been achieved by no one else. That makes them extra special. As we prepare for double 50th anniversary celebrations here and in Budapest we have lost only one mainstream player, Jackie Sinclair, and reserve keeper John Hope from the 69 squad, along with, of course, manager Joe Harvey. The list of survivors, half a century later, is in itself worthy of the raising of a glass! Read More / See Photos - https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spor...-1969-16364462 50 years on and what have we got to celebrate? Let's make sure we enjoy this one The Chronicle, 11th May 2019 Newcastle United's heroes of 1969 will be celebrated this summer. As the 2018/2019 season of relentless battle draws to an exhausting end, it's time for Newcastle United's faithful to turn their gaze towards honouring those who brought a ray of sunlight into so many lives 50 years ago this year. This summer isn't just any summer, it is the 50th anniversary of United's last major achievement, the winning of their only European trophy. That is indeed a big deal and rightly a reason for celebration. Therefore it's good that an opportunity is being afforded to pay tribute to their 1969 heroes at Newcastle's Grand Hotel Gosforth Park on Friday July 19th when the 'Fairs Club' are putting on a do which will be attended by a galaxy of history makers. The Fairs Club are an organisation of hardy fans appreciative of what happened in their name during 1968/69 which is why a glass or two will be raised on the banks of the Tyne. Fairs Cup stalwarts like Frank Clark, David Craig, Jim Scott, Tommy Gibb, Geoff Allen, John McNamee, Keith Dyson, Dave Elliott, John Craggs, and Ron Guthrie have already agreed to travel both short and long distances to return to the city they represented so brilliantly. Others will be added to the roll of honour in due course. "The Fairs Cup Win is a stand out moment in all our lives - a year of unbelievable dreams - and I never get sick of coming home to remember it," said Frank Clark who of course went on to win the European Cup with Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest. Read More / See Photos - https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spor...up-50-16254516 - As part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations, the Chronicle have been recalling some of the individual Fairs Cup matches from that 1968/69 season . . Newcastle United 4-0 Feyenoord: United take Europe by storm earning a stunning victory in their first competitive European game The Chronicle, 11th September 2018 It was on this day in 1968 that Newcastle United began their first and to date, most successful European campaign. The Magpies’ achievement in winning the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup at that first attempt 50 years ago, was nothing short of remarkable. The boys of ‘69 will forever have their place in United history, but the trophy has become almost a 'millstone' around the necks of Unite, as subsequent barren seasons followed. Nevertheless, the 4-0 win against Feyenoord of Rotterdam at an electric St James’ Park 50 years ago saw the start of United’s love affair with European football. The Magpies have played competitive European football in 16 seasons, under the auspices of the European Fairs Cup, UEFA Cup, Champions League, Europa League and even in the old European Cup Winners’ Cup after being runners-up in the 1998 FA Cup Final. As for the Feyenoord game, 46,438 fans flocked to Gallowgate to check out this newfangled European football. Captain Bobby Moncur was injured for the Feyenoord game, but still has cause to remember it well. In 2012, he told the Chronicle’s Lee Ryder: “At that time I’d just had a cartilage removed and the club couldn’t afford to even have me in the party that travelled over to Holland for the second leg. Then, I got a phone call from the Supporters’ Club and they told me they would love me to join them on the fans trip. It was two-day trip and we stayed in a hotel in Zandvoort as fans from that time will remember. The whole trip, including flights and hotel, cost just Ł19.10! We had won the first leg 4-0 at St James’ and the fans were ready for their first adventure travelling into Europe.” Read More / See Photos - https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news...nited-10032774 Newcastle United dump Sporting Lisbon out of Europe, 50 years ago, in front of 53,000 Fans. The Chronicle, 20th November 2018 Bill Gibbs (chairman of fans’ group the Fairs Club) remembers "we had done well, we’d enjoyed the competition so far, But most people thought we might well get knocked out by Sporting Libson.” Having disposed of Feyenoord of Rotterdam over two legs in the first round, highly-rated Sporting Lisbon were the next exotic arrivals at St James’ Park. The first leg, in Portugal, had gone well. The Chronicle’s legendary sports writer John Gibson recalls: “We had set up the second leg perfectly with a 1-1 draw in Lisbon where a freak storm threatened to see the game abandoned at any time." He continued “Such was the heightened interest in the return leg at St James’ Park that fans had started queuing at three o’clock for the 7.30pm kick off.” As the four towering floodlight pylons at St James’ blazed in the Wednesday night sky, 53,650 fans descended on the ground. When the teams ran on to the pitch at 7.20pm, fans on the jam-packed terraces were greeted with the unusual sight of a Newcastle United side wearing an all-white kit - in the style of Real Madrid (who were in European action themselves that night at Rapid Vienna). It would be another glorious night of football. With the crowd in full voice, a blistering opening from United rocked the visitors back on their heels. It took only 10 minutes for the deadlock to be broken by Pop Robson. A lovely volley at the Gallowgate End, in what proved to be the winning goal” Read More / See Photos - https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news...isbon-15418937 56,000 watched Newcastle United's beat Real Zaragoza at St James' Park in the Fairs Cup The Chronicle, 15th January 2019 It was January 1969 and Newcastle United were still very much involved in the continental odyssey that was the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. The previous September had seen them dispatch the Dutch giants Feyenoord of Rotterdam over two legs. Then, as the autumn days chilled and the nights darkened, the Magpies had knocked out Sporting Lisbon, the crack Portuguese outfit. Now the opposition was Spanish team Real Zaragoza and most folk on Tyneside had little knowledge of the La Liga outfit who hailed from the heart of the northern Spanish community, Aragon. The United team, who’d made the 1,200-mile air flight to sunny Spain, had lost 3-2 in the first leg on New Year’s Day 1969. On the day of the match, Magpies manager Joe Harvey described the Zaragoza test as “the club’s most important game for years”. When the teams ran out at St James’s Park that night, the terraces and stands heaved with more than 56,000 expectant fans. After just two minutes, the ground exploded with noise as Pop Robson in full flight fired home past the Zaragoza keeper Nieves from 30 yards. As John Gibson reported in the Chronicle: “Bingo! Pop goes the easel! On 28 minutes a second goal arrived. A towering Pop Robson corner was punched away by Nieves only for the ball to be met by Tommy Gibb who powerfully headed it into the net from the edge of the 18-yard-box. Read More / See Photos - https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news...iteds-15676708 Fairs Cup at 50: Newcastle United triumph over Vitoria Setubal of Portugal in St James' Park snowstorm The Chronicle, 12th March 2019 When Newcastle United stepped out in Portugal for the second leg of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup quarter-final, there was an interesting spectator in the 34,000 crowd. It was March 26th 1969, and six-year-old José Mourinho was there to watch his home-town team. Decades later, as one of the world’s most successful football managers, he told the Chronicle: “I was a young boy in short trousers when Newcastle United played over here, but I was in the crowd cheering on Setubal, the team my father played in goal for. He was born in the Algarve but I’m from Setubal and still love the place". `Mourinho saw Setubal win 3-1, but it was too little too late. On a night of drama two weeks earlier, United had built up an unassailable lead in the first leg of the tie at a snowbound St James’ Park. This summer will mark 50 years since Bobby Moncur lifted the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup on a balmy night in Budapest, Hungary. The trophy - the forerunner of the UEFA Cup and the Europa League - remains the last major cup to be held aloft by a Newcastle United captain. Today, Bill Gibbs is chairman of the 'Fairs Club', a fans group that meets regularly to honour former Newcastle United players. In 1969, he was a 19-year-old driller at Wallsend Slipway. He recalls: “I caught the bus along the Coast Road into the centre of Newcastle for the match and it was absolutely bleating down with snow. When I got to the ground, it was chockablock, but I managed to get in at the Gallowgate and made my way to the Popular Side.” In a season when the average League and Cup attendance at St James’ Park was just over 39,000, a huge crowd of 57,662 was wedged in for the latest instalment of United’s European adventure. Nineteen-year-old Alan Foggon notched United’s first goal with a fine header. Half a century on, Alan recalls: “It was a horrible night and they just weren’t used to the snow. I’m sure some of their players had socks on their hands.” Foggon’s 23rd-minute goal simply opened the floodgates, with Pop Robson (2), Wyn Davies and Tommy Gibb easing United to a 5-1 victory.

Newcastle. It was the Scots versus the English, old enemies head to head, no quarter given. United, against all the odds, had fought through to the semi-finals of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. The supporters had taken European football to their hearts, packing out Gallowgate as the black-and-whites had progressed through the competition, dumping out quality opposition from Holland, Portugal and Spain along the way. The semi-final drew the Magpies against Glasgow giants Rangers. More than 12,000 Geordies had been in a 70,000 crowd at Ibrox to see United grind out a 0-0 draw in the away leg. A week later a 60,000 all-ticket crowd at St James’ saw United ease to a 2-0 lead. The second of those two goals in the 77th minute, saw all hell break loose, as hordes of drunken Scottish fans streamed out of the Gallowgate End and on to the pitch. Bottles and cans flew through the air as Rangers supporters battled with police. It took nearly 20 minutes for police to restore order, and 89 people were injured and 30 were arrested. The Police praised the United fans “who refused to be drawn into the fray” and United’s victory booked them a place in the final.

There were thousands more locked out and some looked on from near-by roof tops, with others perched up trees. In barely believable scenes, United went on the offensive from the off with Wyn Davies and Pop Robson going close. Midway through the second half, captain Bobby Moncur brought the house down, scoring twice in five minutes. Jim Scott added a third, seven minutes from time, and United would head to Hungary for the second leg of the final on June 11th with a three-goal lead in their back pockets. History now tells us that they went on to win that 2nd leg 3-2, and win the Fairs Cup in their very first season of European Football.

Fairs Cup 50th Anniversary (1969-2019)
50 years ago TODAY, on 11th June 1969, we won the Fairs Cup . . . The Chronicle, 11th June 2019. Today marks 50 years since Newcastle United lifted the European Fairs Cup trophy, following a two-legged final against Ujpest Dosza, which they won 6-2 on aggregate. This success, tragically, remains United's only major trophy win for the last 50 years. United had beaten Ujpest Doza 3-0 in the first leg, thanks to two goals from defender and captain Bob Moncur, but at half-time in the second leg, the Magpies were 2-0 down in Hungary and their chances of lifting the trophy hung in the balance. The story goes that manager Joe Harvey waited until late in the half time interval to rally his troops, telling them that one goal would see the opposition 'collapse like a pack of cards'. Harvey, whose birthday it was that very night, was right. Within a minute of the restart Moncur grabbed one back before Benny Arentoft and Alan Foggon clinched the game. Newcastle United Full Back at the time, Frank Clark says "How can Bob Moncur score three goals in a cup final? He only scored four in his entire career! Unheard of, but all three of them were great goals. It was strange because in the first half they gave us a real good chasing. I remember Willie McFaul was magnificent, kept us in the game, we came in at half time 2-0 down and we were hanging on. We went out for the 2nd half and within a few minutes, Moncur had scored again which meant they had to at least score three just to get a draw. It was just like pricking a balloon with a pin, and in reality the second half was just a stroll." The players flew back to Newcastle with the trophy in Moncur's grasp and, as the Chronicle's John Gibson who reported on the famous night said - "Moncur was sceptical that anyone would even be waiting for them outside of Newcastle Airport. How wrong he was as supporters lined the route all the way through Newcastle from the Airport to St James' Park, before the trophy was paraded inside the ground to a full house."

Fairs Cup 50th Anniversary (1969-2019)
Bobby Moncur, Newcastle United Captain in 1969, discusses how he personally recalls the winning of the Fairs Cup . . . 
50 years ago, Newcastle United took on Hungarian side Újpest Dozsa in the second leg of the Fairs Cup final. In our final nostalgic offering, we catch up with captain Bob Moncur, who reflects on that unforgettable contest in Budapest. Bob, the Magpies’ most capped Scottish international player with 16 caps, missed United’s first two games in the Fairs Cup due to injury but he was an ever-present from then on. He said, "I had an immensely enjoyable career but this achievement, winning the Fairs Cup and lifting the trophy as captain, was undoubtedly my finest moment in a black and white shirt." His story of the final really begins a few days before the second leg in Budapest. “We were all on a massive high after the 3-0 home leg win over Újpest but it was my job, along with Joe Harvey, to keep a lid on our emotions and make sure we prepared in the right professional manner. Yes, 3-0 was a great advantage to take to Hungary, but by no means was the job done. I’ve been asked countless times how someone who never scored a goal could get two in the first leg of the Final and with my weaker foot. Well, I say cup finals bring out the best in people and it certainly did in me. There was two weeks between the two games so we’d been given a couple of days off by Joe but most of the time was spent in light training, keeping us in shape for the second leg." “We didn’t get up to much before the game, just training at the stadium as was the norm before European ties, and then Joe told us he was naming an unchanged team for the match and that was no surprise to anyone, why would you change a winning team of tried and trusted players who had just won the first leg 3-0. We knew full well that Újpest were better than the team we’d just thumped two weeks ago and were in fact amongst the top five teams in the whole of Europe. Of that there was no doubt at all." "To the game, and they blitzed us in the first 45 minutes. Their movement and passing was of the highest quality and to be fair we hardly got a kick. Flair, imagination, pace and trickery, they threw the lot at us and the fact it took them half an hour to score their first goal owed more to luck on our part than anything else. They scored again just before the break and could have levelled the tie on aggregate had Willie McFaul not made a tremendous save. Now, of course, we come to Joe’s famous half time words in a story told a thousand times. In one of the most iconic lines ever given by a manager, and using his unique motivational skills Joe simply looked around the room, caught everyone’s attention, paused, before uttering the immortal words: ‘lads, all you need to do is score and they will collapse like a pack of cards, you mark my words.’ And that was it, and off he went leaving us to all digest what he had just said." Read Much More about what happened next, in Bob Moncur's own words, here - https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/features...rs-cup-triumph . Last edited by Newcastle Historian; June 16th, 2019 at 01:47 PM. |

Fairs Cup 50th Anniversary (1969-2019) - Back to Ujpest in 2019 . . .
The 1969 Fairs Cup Winning Team returns to Budapest in June 2019, to celebrate and to visit with Ujpest Dozsa. The "Toon Legends Club" - Link https://www.facebook.com/pg/nufc.tlc/posts/ - organised this months return trip by the 1969 players to Budapest, on the 50th Anniversary of Newcastle United winning the Fairs Cup. The players were welcomed there by members of the Ujpest Dozsa team that they beat all those years ago. The Toon Legends Club is run by 5 like minded individuals with the aim of remembering Toon Legends and bringing them together. I have been sent an e-mail containing an account of the 1969 Fairs Cup winning players sentimental return visit to Budapest in June 2019, that the Toon Legends Club organised . . . Quote:
There were some other excellent photos taken during the June 2019 return visit to Budapest . . . Six of the winning team, and three others in Budapest in June 2019  L to R : John Craggs, Alan Foggon, Bob Moncur, Jim Scott, Frank Clark, David Craig, David Clark, Keith Dyson and Ollie Burton Here in Budapest in 2019 is an amazing photo of our "fortress back four" from the late 1960s and early 1970s.  Very few got past this fabulous defence of (L to R) David Craig, Ollie Burton, Bob Moncur, and Frank Clark. .

A great collection of documents. If you do not mind, i share the correctly written team and player names from Újpesti Dózsa, since it was mistaken in your newspapers sometimes.
Team name: Újpesti Dózsa Players: Goalkeeper: Antal, Szentmihályi Backline: Benő, Káposzta; Ernő, Solymosi; István, Bánkúti Midfield: Ernő, Noskó; Ede, Dunai III; János, Göröcs Forwards: László, Fazekas; Ferenc, Bene; Antal, Dunai II; Sándor, Zámbó The story behind the names Dunai II (actually: Dunai the Second) and Dunai III (Dunai the Third) was an obligation, that players with same name were obliged to use numbering behind their family names. Fun fact: since Dunai I and Dunai II were brothers, Dunai III was from an other family. 9 persons of Újpesti Dózsa were members of the olympic champion team in 1968, Bene played and scored against Brazil in 1966 in Liverpool (Hungary-Brazil 3-1). I was a small kid, but remember how fair that game really was. There were almost no faults committed, but there were a lot of rush and actions. Although we lost, we were very proud of our players, since it is never a shame to loose against a better playing team.

There's a gathering of 1969 Fairs Cup winners at the Newcastle (Blackett Street) branch of Waterstones, by Greys Monument, this Friday 8th November 2019, when author Matthew Watson-Broughton will be signing copies of his "The Amazing Journey" book, from 5.30pm onwards. Joining him with pens poised will be Bob Moncur, Alan Foggon and Keith Dyson, alongside veteran journalist John Gibson. Matthew's comprehensive account of the events that culminated in United's famous victory over Ujpest Dozsa half a century ago costs Ł19.99 in hardback.  Source - https://www.nufc.com/ |
