Here is a list of some of the best players Newcastle United has had recently.
Alan Shearer
There would be no list of Newcastle tough guys without Big Al. He could give and take, that’s for sure. Defenders often went after the famous No. 9, and he usually won any physical fight.
Duncan Ferguson
Defense players would get chills just by looking at Duncan Ferguson. The Scot’s time at St. James’ Park was far too short, but fans were left with no question about how tough he was on the field.
Joey Barton
If Newcastle was going to be sent back to the Championship, they needed strong players like Barton to step up. He was one of the best players in United’s comeback because he never backed down from a fight (or looked for one).
Cheick Tiote
The missed Alan Pardew’s team, which was in the running for a Premier League spot, got stronger with Cheick Tiote on the field. He was a guy that you didn’t want to mess with, just like Yohan Cabaye.
