This amusing banner was hung by Magpie fans during Newcastle United's Premier League match away against Swansea City on October 4th 2014.
Alan Pardew was the troubled manager and he lasted a further three months before he moved on to Crystal Palace. For information, the match ended in another "D", 2-2.
Jonjo Shelvey played for Swansea that day having joined them in 2013. He made a move to Newcastle United in 2016. Bony and Routledge scored for Swansea and Cisse grabbed a brace for United.
When Shelvey was 16 years and 59 days, he became the youngest debutant to play for Charlton Athletic on 26th April 2008. The match was against Barnsley at Oakwell.
The longest named football club in Britain is Western Alliance Club in Wales:
Clwb Peldroed Llanfairwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch-somewhere around 70 letters (though some claim it has 90 characters).
The Dutch club NAC Breda has 86 characters which I am not going to type out.
This club badge represents a Malaysian Kelantan club MPKB-BRI-UBES FC that has 89 letters.
