WOR JACKIE!

Have been plundering the ArtPix Archives Footie Department to find some material for a new Retro Football collage. And I've chosen NEWCASTLE UNITED as my next subject...

I found this glorious portrait of Newcastle legend JACKIE MILBURN from 1949 to set the ball rolling.

Nicknamed 'Wor' Jackie by the Geordie faithful, he enjoyed a fabulous career in the North-East. Not only did he grab 200 goals for them, but he led them to 3 FA Cup wins in the 1950s.

Unbelievably, the 1955 FA Cup triumph remains their last major domestic trophy.

I already have some interesting Newcastle memorabilia for the collage, and I'm looking forward to putting it all together. Once I've finished all the scanning of course!!!
