One of the best teams never to win league , probably the best . United fan but never forgot that great Newcastle team. Maybe they lacked players who previously won trophies and lacked that edge last two games . If the had player like Sergio augero for city , Newcastle prob would have won league that season .
We should have won the league that season. If only he didn’t tamper with the team in January and sign a world class defender with the money. We didn’t need Asprilla or Batty. We needed someone like Tony Adams to lead the back. Am Sure we could have got someone decent in.
He was superb, Joe. Fired Rovers to promotion in 2001 and was on the verge of being in the England squad for the World Cup in 2002. Sadly, he had a motorbike accident in the summer of 2002 which caused him a brain injury. He wasn't the same player after that, but what a player he was before that accident. Hopefully will have some more Jansen videos coming up.
I'm wondering the same. It's a strange one. Never saw Kenna take any others and we had Kevin Davies on the pitch at the time. Not that he was of any use for us.
There was so much quality in the Prem during these years that guys even as good as Pedersen were barely getting the spotlight. What a baller though. Two leg control close to incomparable.
I agree. There were so many quality players in the Prem back then that players like Pedersen and Tugay didn't get as much attention. Even away from the 'top 4', there were players like Matty Taylor, Laurent Robert, Patrik Berger, Kevin Nolan, Mendieta scoring screamers. Pedersen would be seen as one of the best in the world today, there aren't many ballers left in today's game.
Signed him the same time as Henning Berg Didn’t settle in as quick Ended up at Borussia munchengladback then Bayern Munich then Barcelona We should have given him longer
Would have liked for him to have stayed longer with us. He clearly had something about him to be able to play for Bayern Munich and Barcelona later on.
Only Rovers could do something like that. I still remember the feeling when Jensen scored for them. Gutted. I don't know the stats, but we must be up there for the most late goals conceded. It has been happening for a while.
