Established in the year of our Lord 1892, Newcastle United Football Club have planted their roots in the northern soils of England, at St. James' Park to be precise. This is where they've been putting on their performances, rain or shine, for more than a century now.
The black and white clad lads boast a pot of gold, with a total market value sitting pretty at around £589m, so they tell us over at Transfermarkt.
These Geordie lads number 28 in their playing ranks, and carry an average age of 26 on their shoulders, with each complementing the strengths and covering the gaps of the other like a well-oiled machine.
As we find ourselves in the current season, the Toon have got themselves entangled in four distinct competitions of significant prestige. They occupy the 13th step up at the Premier League and have trod the playing fields all the way to the fifth round of the FA Cup. They were even spotted gracing the semi-finals of the League Cup. Moreover, these ambitious footballers found their way to the Last 16 in the Champions League, clearly having their sights set on more than just domestic glory.
