Make no mistake: Newcastle United are a gigantic English football club. With its rabid fanbase of passionate fans, the Magpies travel in numbers and make all sorts of noise wherever they go. Those players through history lucky enough to be loved by the Geordie faithful are icons in their own right. Legends like Kevin Keegan, Peter Beardsley, Paul Gascoigne and, of course, the Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer, Alan Shearer, left their mark in front of the hoards at St James' Park and rightly lionised by the legions.
