Chris Hughton’s men were promoted from the Championship at the first time of asking but were greeted back in the top-flight by a dominant Alex Ferguson side.
But what is each player to feature for the Magpies that night up to now? Scroll and click through the pages to find out:
9. Jonas Gutierrez
The love between Newcastle fans and Gutierrez runs very deep after he was diagnosed and recovered from cancer on Tyneside. At 37, he is still playing in his native Argentina for Banfield. Photo: Chris Brunskill
10. Kevin Nolan
Nolan tasted success in management with Notts County after guiding the Magpies to the League Two play-offs in 2018, though was sacked a few months later. Now, he is a part of David Moyes’ coaching staff at West Ham United. Photo: ANDREW YATES
11. Andy Carroll
Carroll, of course, re-joined his boyhood last summer - eight years after his £35million exit to Liverpool. The 30-year-old is a big figure in the United dressing room, hence Steve Bruce’s decision to award him with another one-year deal. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
12. Shola Ameobi
Ameobi is trusted as Newcastle’s loan co-ordinator, a role which requires him to arrange short-term transfers for the club’s academy players. Away from the club, he occasionally does punditry for Sky Sports. Photo: Michael Regan
