Before Ashley and Hughton, before King Kev and Sir John Hall, even before Big Jack Charlton and his lot, Newcastle United used to win things, and no victory will live longer in the memory of all Newcastle fans than the Fairs Cup victory of 1969. The sight of Joe Harvey gleefully lifting the trophy backed by his team of heroes still burns brightly, and Jim Jeffrey's fantastic new title Newcastle United: The 1968-69 Fairs Cup Story is the best book about that famous season we've read in ages, so get buying from the image link below.

Recommended Reading

For every football fan who likes a good read, the ideal book is one that can recapture the experience of being on the terraces, bringing the crack of the crowd and the excitement of the match into the privacy of their home. Harry Pearson's The Far Corner is far and away the best football fan's book for those very reasons- a genuine classic (unfortunately written by a Boro fan, but we can forgive him that), and one we strongly suggest every fan picks up (especially fans of non-league teams).
