Lee Clark’s fifth place

Doug Livingstone (Appointed December 1954)

“This is someone who the older fans will remember.

“And why he is in there is because he won silverware for our club.

“It’s not an easy thing as a Newcastle manager!”

Lee Clark’s fourth place

Stan Seymour (First appointed 1939)

“This was quite a tough one, and the only reason I have put him at four and not higher is because it was before my era.

“Seymour led us to two FA Cup wins and to do that in any era is tough. He could have easily been higher.”

Lee Clark’s third place

Kevin Keegan (First appointed 1992)

“A man who had come in and changed the landscape of the club as a player. then came in and did something crazy as a manager.

“The reason he is not in the top two is because he couldn’t find that elusive trophy. In 1995, we got close – we got ridiculously close.

“The brand of football, the excitement, just the way he turned the club around.”

Lee Clark’s second place

Eddie Howe (Appointed 2021)

“I think he is an outstanding manager.

“He is the perfect manager for us because he gets the club and the area.

“His work ethic is ridiculous, and his ability to develop players is unbelievable. They play an exciting brand of football, on the front foot.

“He has improved us and also got us one of the best seasons ever by winning that elusive trophy and getting us into the Champions League.”

Lee Clark’s first place

Joe Harvey (Appointed 1962)

“My number one is Joe Harvey.

“He won us the Fairs Cup, which is now known as the Europa League, and he took us to an FA Cup final.

“He was the manager when we had some top individual players and he was there from 1962 to 1975. That tells you how successful he was.”
