The North East of England boasts a proud footballing legacy, the cornerstone of which is Newcastle United Football Club. Established in 1892, the Magpies have held court at their home ground of St James' Park for well over a century now.
Transfermarkt estimates the current market value of the Newcastle squad at around £501m. A hefty purse, considering the modest beginnings of this Northern club.
Newcastle's squad is comprised of 28 lads, sporting an average age of 26—a refreshing blend of youthful vigour and seasoned experience; a crucial mix for any team with ambitious goals. This season especially, they've had their work cut out for them, with the Toon Army competing on four fronts.
Newcastle currently hold a respectable 14th place standing in the Premier League. Their FA Cup run extends to the fifth round, whilst they've valiantly battled their way to the Semi-Finals of the League Cup. They also find themselves competing with Europe's elite, having made it through to the Last 16 in the Champions League.
