notes
  • No line-ups found but NEC and HDM both record that for their next match v Manchester City, Newcastle would be unchanged.
  • Originally intended as an “Anglo-Scottish League” (aka “Floodlight League”) game, but demoted to “Friendly” status as tournament was not approved by governing bodies.
