59 Years For Ameobi Brothers To Change History!
September 13th 1952 Ted and George Robledo played for Newcastle against Preston North End, we won 4-3 and George scored a brace. Sammy and Shola Ameobi, 59 years later ... ... became the next brothers to play together in the top flight for Newcastle Utd. Officially the last brothers to play for Newcastle United were Matty and Ritchie Appleby in an Anglo-Italian Cup game in 1992, but they never played a league game together. Scots Gary and Steve Caldwell were on the books in the early 2000s but never played in the same team. So the Robledo brothers have held the torch since1952. Margaret Ameobi told how Sammy always believed he would follow in his big brother Shola’s footsteps and pull on the black and white of his hometown club. His dream came true on Sunday against Chelsea. Margaret: "Sammy always said he was going to be a footballer, he’s never changed. “Right from primary school he said ‘I’m going to be a footballer’ and he joked that he would be better than his brother. “We didn’t see all of the game because we were in church but we were on our way home and a family friend from Nigeria rang my husband to say Sammy had come on. “Two of my daughters were already watching it and they recorded it so later on we played it back so I was able to see it when Sammy came on. “Having them both make their debut against the same club was great (Shola, 29, made his debut against Chelsea at St James’ Park in 2000). “They are quite close and Shola has been very supportive of his brothers. “He knows how to advise them and how to encourage them. They do things together, they have meals together and from time to time when we can, we all get together as a family. “We get everyone together at least once a year.” REMAINING FIXTURES Tuesday 17th May 2011 Manchester City v Stoke City 19:45 Sunday 22nd May 2011 Aston Villa v Liverpool 16:00 Bolton Wanderers v Manchester City 16:00 Everton v Chelsea 16:00 Fulham v Arsenal 16:00 Manchester United v Blackpool 16:00 Newcastle United v West Bromwich Albion 16:00 Stoke City v Wigan Athletic 16:00 Tottenham Hotspur v Birmingham City 16:00 West Ham United v Sunderland 16:00 Wolverhampton Wanderers v Blackburn Rovers 16:00 MAGPIES IN EUROPE Although "Magpies In Europe" will not be launched OFFICIALLY until next season (when we get them into shops in the North-East) ... if you want a copy it is available NOW from this website ... and ONLY from this website! Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me. "I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'! "Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down. "Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff. "I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
