Len White
1953-62
Forward
269 apps, 153 goals
Signed from Rotherham United for £12,500, White is one of the greatest strikers to play for Newcastle but is lesser known than the likes of Shearer, Keegan, Gallacher, McDonald and Milburn who was his strike partner. He won the FA Cup in 1955 before leaving for Huddersfield Town.

NOVEMBER
Lineup - Donnarumma, Aarons, Montes, Varela, Torre, Tonali, Palacios, Mbappe, Olmo,
Sancho*, Parent
A very fine performance as shown by the fact that I didn't make a sub. Sancho was amazing with 2 goals and an assist while Yves Parent scored again - Fabio Silva has a bit of work to do to get back into the team! We have won our last 30 league games now.

UEFA Champions League Group E
Lineup - Michel Costa, Briggs (Astudillo), Ljubicic, Godfrey, Chilwell,
Bellingham*, Pereira, Dembele, Foden, Fati, Silva (Alcock)
Easy. We qualify for the next round with this win. Fabio Silva in the backup side - and he was **** lol.

Lineup - Donnarumma, Aarons, Montes, Varela, Torre, Tonali, Palacios, Mbappe, Olmo (Foden), Sancho, Parent
Well now. My first test in the league this season and we won it. We were cruising through it really until my Scotland striker Dylan Munro scored a worldie to end the run of 6 straight clean sheets in the league.

Lineup - Donnarumma, Aarons, Montes, Varela, Torre (Chilwell),
Tonali*, Palacios, Mbappe, Olmo, Sancho (Dembele), Parent (Silva)
We dominated Man City here and they only had 1 shot on goal such was our dominance. Parent failed to score (2nd league game in a row) so Silva will start the next league game. Jadon Sancho is on fire!!

UEFA Champions League Group E
Lineup - Michel Costa, Briggs, Ljubicic, Godfrey, Chilwell, Bellingham (Longstaff), Pereira, Dembele, Foden,
Sancho*, Parent (Alcock)
Jadon Sancho's fine form continues as he got another 2 goals here - albeit both from the penalty spot.

Palacios*, Mbappe, Olmo (Foden), Sancho (Dembele), Silva
An easy win. Mbappe missed a penalty at 1-0 but the rarest of things ended up happening - both of my CMs scored!!!

SUMMARY
We just keep on winning! Every game this season we have won in all competitions and we have opened up a 9pt lead in the league. We are averaging over 3 goals a game yet in 14 league games we have only conceded 3.
Our form is making me seriously think that we could win every league game. Last season we won 35 and drew 3 so it is not such a big step but we are outplaying everybody in every match.

SCOTLAND
UEFA World Cup Qualifier Group 1
Lineup - Irvine, Paterson (Ralston), Ross McCrorie, Deas, Tierney,
Turnbull*, McTominay, Evans, McPake (Christie), Watson, Munro
Very nice. Holland won 4-0 so we catch up on the goal difference for automatic qualification. If we get a winning margin by 3 goals or better in our next match over Holland (who play Belarus) we top the group and send them into the play-offs.

UEFA World Cup Qualifier Group 1
Lineup - Irvine Paterson, Ross McCrorie (Kerr),
Souttar*, Taylor, McGinn, Farrell, Kennedy, McPake, Watson (Morgan), Munro (Aitken)
We win the group and qualify for the World Cup! Holland were 3-0 up after 20min so I decided to go very attacking and my team responded magnificently. Kennedy even had a goal disallowed. Has anyone had 9 different goalscorers before in a match? - its a first for me.
55 goals in 10 games - ******* incredible for Scotland!!!!!!
I think Holland qualified as the best runner-up in a group so I was worrying over nothing in the end lol.
