00:00St. James' Park in September 1999 saw the bottom two teams battle it out.
00:05Sheffield Wednesday occupied 20th spot and had only a point to their name,
00:09losing six of their first seven matches.
00:11Newcastle were only above Wednesday on goal difference,
00:14and after recording just a single point in five games,
00:17and failing to start Alan Shearer in the local derby with Sunderland,
00:20sacked manager Ruud Gullit.
00:22His replacement was the veteran Geordie and Newcastle fan Bobby Robson,
00:26and in his first home match in charge, Robson was quick to recall Shearer.
00:31Only two of Gullit's summer signings started,
00:34defender Alan Gomer and the creative midfielder Kieran Dyer,
00:37while keeper Steve Harper, Aaron Hughes and Tamuri Ketspire also came in.
00:42Including their disappointing midweek draw in the League Cup against Stoke,
00:46Sheffield Wednesday were without a goal in over seven hours of football.
00:51Despite that, manager Danny Wilson kept faith with striker Gilles De Bilde,
00:55who hadn't scored since his £3m move from PSV.
00:59Your match commentator is John Champion.
01:02Wonderful atmosphere inside St James' Park on this special day.
01:08Bobby Robson in charge on the ground where he used, as a boy,
01:12to watch the black and whites of Newcastle for the first time.
01:18Sheffield Wednesday had a torrid start to the season.
01:26De Bilde's effort helped on its way by Aaron Hughes.
01:33Could be a long, hard season for Danny Wilson's men,
01:37having lost six of their seven games so far.
01:41Here's Ketspire.
01:50Emerson Tom behind for a corner at the Gallagher end.
01:58Demand for tickets has been phenomenal for this game.
02:02Welcome back, Bobby Robson.
02:05Here's Ketspire.
02:12And what a contrast in mood and in feeling and indeed in weather
02:16from the last home game.
02:18And it poured down for the North East derby with Sunderland.
02:26Warren Barton.
02:33Newcastle throw.
02:37Shearer restored to the side by Robson.
02:41Bullitt's final mistake, history will show,
02:44was to leave Shearer out against Sunderland.
02:47There's Pressman.
02:49He's merely got his fingertips to it.
02:53At least that's what the crowd think, that's what Shearer thinks.
02:57What the referee thinks is what matters and he's given a goal kick.
03:01Still arguing.
03:11All part of the striker's make-up.
03:24Newcastle, like Sheffield Wednesday, have only garnered one point this season
03:28from a three-all draw with Wimbledon.
03:32Harper.
03:34Oh, sliced his clearance.
03:36And now they could be in trouble.
03:38And it's turned in, but the flag is up for offside against Andy Booth.
03:43It was De Builder that nodded it forward.
03:48After Steve Harper had had a very awkward moment
03:51with the attempted clearance.
03:53But Booth was equally very clearly in an offside position.
03:58It's a warning for Newcastle, though.
04:07Barton.
04:13Shearer.
04:16He's escaped from Tom.
04:18And he's won a corner.
04:22Bobby Robson's been working with Alan Shearer
04:24Bobby Robson's been working with Alan Shearer
04:26in training since his arrival.
04:29Trying to restore his confidence.
04:32Says he's tweaked one or two bits of Shearer's technique and approach.
04:40Solano.
04:42Away from Rudy, that was quite a lunge.
04:46Gary Speed.
04:48Gets Spier.
04:55Kieran Dyer.
04:57Up against Newsome.
05:00There's Hughes!
05:03First home goal at St James' under Bobby Robson.
05:07Is scored by the Elstermann.
05:09Aaron Hughes.
05:16Lovely dink ball in by Kieran Dyer.
05:19Good leap by Hughes.
05:21Low beyond Pressman.
05:25The ideal start for Newcastle.
05:29Only playing because Nikos Dabizas is suspended.
05:39Speed beaten in the air.
05:41Booth.
05:44Finally the effort on goal was fairly tame.
05:47Effort on goal was fairly tame.
05:52Simon Donnelly that had it.
05:58Barton.
06:02Such a feel-good factor now with Robson's arrival in these parts.
06:08Now needs...
06:10...for results to show an upturn.
06:13Certainly the case in the UEFA Cup in the week at CSKA Sofia
06:16with that win.
06:20This is Dyer.
06:23Carried away by Pressman.
06:29Kieran Dyer's enjoying himself in that role he's been given.
06:31Cutting in off the left side.
06:34Licence to cause mayhem for Danny Wilson's team.
06:47Ketspark.
06:54Speed to Domi.
06:59Speed's continued his run.
07:03Newsome left it short.
07:05That's a trip.
07:08Sheffield Wednesday just can't contain Kieran Dyer.
07:13Stopping him by fair means.
07:17Or by foul.
07:28Nobby Solano.
07:31Corner.
07:42It's by a near post.
07:43And he's come short for it.
07:45Solano.
07:46Shearer!
07:48That's more like it!
07:57Solano.
08:01That's a foul by Rudy on Dyer.
08:07There may be one last chance for Newcastle to add to this
08:10handsome lead before the break.
08:15In by Solano.
08:16And a free header for Gary Speed.
08:22Who usually makes far more of such opportunities.
08:28Newcastle fans will hardly be complaining with a match score
08:31like this.
08:37Well, whatever it is.
08:39It's a win for Newcastle.
08:42Well, whatever it is.
08:44That Bobby Robson has been saying and doing in the 17 days
08:46since his appointment.
08:48It's working a treat.
08:50First half hat-trick for Alan Shearer.
08:52Back in scoring form.
08:53One of them from the spot.
08:55Also one for Aaron Hughes.
08:574-0.
08:58Newcastle dominant.
09:04What hope is there for Sheffield Wednesday?
09:06De Builder and Carboni engineering the restart.
09:12They have scored three goals all season long.
09:14And those three include one penalty and one own goal.
09:19And including today they've conceded 19.
09:24They've used 22 players already.
09:28And they look an outfit bereft of any form of confidence.
09:34Any self-belief.
09:36Perhaps most importantly, there isn't much fight out there either.
09:45Not that Newcastle are complaining.
09:49Slip by Kit Spier.
09:56Barton.
10:05Newcastle finish 13th in the last two seasons.
10:21Following consecutive campaigns when they were runners-up.
10:30Speed.
10:33Shearer.
10:35Dyer.
10:36It's five.
10:40Very possibly there was a handball in the midst of that by Gary Speed.
10:44But everything's going Newcastle's way.
10:51Kieran Dyer adds his name to the list of goal scorers.
10:54There.
10:55Clear handball.
10:57Patted it down the middle.
10:59It's five.
11:00Kieran Dyer adds his name to the list of goal scorers.
11:01There.
11:02Clear handball.
11:04Patted it down like a basketball player but the referee didn't see it.
11:09And Sheffield Wednesday have shipped an unfortunate fifth.
11:17One of those days.
11:19For Danny Wilson and Frank Barlow.
11:27Domi.
11:29Kit Spier.
11:31Here's Rob Lee.
11:33And for once Carboni has won the ball for Sheffield Wednesday.
11:37Until he's challenged by Warren Barton.
11:42Great player to have if you're five goals up.
11:44Benito Carboni but not so useful if you're five down.
11:59Solano.
12:03There's Tom.
12:08Here's a chance for De Builder.
12:10Just ran away off his chest.
12:14Thumbs up for the ball in.
12:16Which was delivered by Emerson Tom.
12:22Shearer.
12:26Haslam back for Wednesday.
12:28Carry speed.
12:38Rob Lee.
12:42Barton.
12:43To Lee.
12:46Wearing number 37 today.
12:48And having a go.
12:51He was so far out in the cold under the hullet regime that he didn't even have a squad number.
12:58Had to find him one this week.
12:59Ready to play.
13:04Nice turn.
13:06Couldn't quite keep it down sufficiently.
13:13Domi.
13:15Speed.
13:19Solano.
13:22Here's Robinson the substitute.
13:25That's good work by Paul Robinson.
13:29Two members of the crowd exchanging glances.
13:33Newcastle have gone 25 minutes without scoring.
13:39Robinson sent on to try and pep them up.
13:46Lee.
13:59Barton.
14:03Shearer.
14:08Speed.
14:13Newcastle with abundant poise and confidence.
14:18That's a foul by Haslam on Robinson.
14:29Solano to take.
14:33And it flicked off the head of Tom last of all for a corner.
14:46And for this.
14:48Shearer is waiting expectantly.
14:51And Gary Speed has arrived who has such good spring.
14:53Robinson Hughes is up from the back as well.
14:57Solano.
14:59Speed.
15:03Half an hour without a goal.
15:05But now number six has duly arrived.
15:10A Gary Speed speciality.
15:12The late arrival.
15:14Powerful header from a corner kick.
15:18Unstoppable.
15:19In off the inside of the post.
15:29Free kick Wednesday.
15:34Substitution.
15:36Being orchestrated by Bobby Robson.
15:38Off comes the Georgian.
15:40Ketspaya.
15:42To be replaced by.
15:44Jamie McDonough.
15:45To be replaced by.
15:47Jamie McClain.
15:49Who's just about Newcastle's longest serving player.
15:51Having joined the club at the age of ten.
15:56Carboni.
16:06To build up.
16:10By Speed.
16:12It's a goal kick.
16:16Six nil.
16:30Not bad for your first home game in charge.
16:33Not that Bobby Robson.
16:35At the age of 66 ever needed to win over the Newcastle faithful.
16:40He is one of them.
16:46Robinson.
16:50By Walker not very far.
16:53Solano.
16:55Robinson stayed wide.
16:59Then he's blocked off and Newcastle have a free kick.
17:11Nine minutes to play.
17:16Newcastle six goals to the good.
17:23Solano.
17:25Shearer.
17:30His fourth.
17:33And Newcastle have bagged seven.
17:38And this is beyond the wildest dreams of even the most optimistic Magpies fan.
17:46He turned up today expecting to salute the new manager to welcome him back to Tyneside.
17:51But no way did they expect seven goals.
17:57The man with the touch of a Messiah.
18:10Clearly a free kick.
18:12Speed obstructed.
18:15And a goal.
18:26Waiting here whilst Sheffield Wednesday make a change.
18:30Dutch striker Gerald Cibon is coming on in place of Donnelly.
18:36Two million pounds from Ajax.
18:37Go on and change the game.
18:50Tape on his ring.
18:52And now ready for action.
18:59Robinson.
19:07And again Robinson who goes down.
19:09And Cibon with his first involvement in the game has conceded a penalty.
19:19And Robinson has now gone across to Alan Shearer to try and persuade him that he should be allowed to take it.
19:25No way.
19:27Only one player in Premier League history, Andy Cole, has ever scored five goals in the same game.
19:34Here's Alan Shearer.
19:36Now he's done it too.
19:43And this is Newcastle United's biggest win since they beat Newport County 13-0 in 1946.
19:53That day Len Shackleton on his debut scored six.
19:57Today the renaissance of Alan Shearer with five.
20:06Shearer's off again.
20:16Newcastle have played very well.
20:18Sheffield Wednesday have been awful.
20:21Here's Solano.
20:24This time Des Walker is able to scramble it clear.
20:36Shearer.
20:38And Cibon behind for another corner.
20:43They look disheveled at Sheffield Wednesday and demoralised.
20:47Only eight games into the season and they're in a real mess.
20:52One point to their name but Newcastle will go to four points after this.
20:59And they look capable of gathering many more on this sort of form.
21:06Clouds of the hullit regime have lifted.
21:10Metaphorically there is sunshine.
21:12Here's Robinson.
21:14That's Newsome.
21:16Sheffield Wednesday just want to hear the final whistle.
21:19They just want this nightmare to end.
21:23Nobby Solano.
21:25Gary Speed, good save by Pressman.
21:30Otherwise Newcastle would have matched Ipswich all those years ago at Old Trafford.
21:35In scoring nine.
21:47Huge acclaim for a stunning victory by Newcastle United.
21:52Alan Shearer wants the match ball.
21:54He's marching across towards Neil Barry.
21:57He deserves it for getting three.
21:59He actually scored five.
22:01Newcastle eight.
22:03Sheffield Wednesday nil.
22:05Bobby Robson.
22:07A basement battle indeed but a top class performance by Newcastle.
22:10And Bobby Robson would eventually guide his team to safety and 11th place.
22:14Eight nil represented the Owls' worst away defeat in Premiership history.
22:18And their biggest margin of defeat in more than 70 years.
22:22Their six point haul at Christmas was a Premiership low.
22:25And although they picked up in the new year.
22:27Manager Danny Wilson was sacked and the team was relegated.
22:35.
