On this day in 
NEWCASTLE WIN WITH HIGH-POWERED RAIDS Newcastle’s remarkable away record continues. How do they do it? The answer is simple. It is done by a defence which knows and shows no compromise and a forward line - it is chiefly the forward line that makes this team - which never delays a pass and after those passes goes full-tilt.
Classic football it may not be, but it is mighty effective. It won this game, and in spite of one goal being a gift, and another appearing to be an in-off a Blackpool man, it deserved to win it.
BODYGUARD FOR STAN THEY were so glad to see Stanley Matthews up in the north-east last weekend that they had to supply a police escort for him when he left Ayresome Park. I have seen autograph hunters in greater numbers swarming outside a ground where Blackpool have been playing, but not for a long time have I seen them so persistent.
The police decided in advance that two constables would be required to protect the England forward.
