Been following this thread for a while now, felt like joining in...

[Akmuq]

Shame I can't think of questions for love nor money

Who scored Newcastle Uniteds 5000th goal?

Extra point for naming the team it was scored against.

 

[Liquid]

Oh swine, I thought that would be a good one...

Still your turn MA, if you can.

 

[MagpieRacer]

No-one?

 

[Fuzzy]

Go on then I'll take a guess...

Shola Ameobi ?

 

[MagpieRacer]

No, but close-ish.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Sammy Ameobi!

 

[MagpieRacer]

Sammy Ameobi!

Nope, long before Sammy, but around the same time that Shola was breaking through into the first team.

 

[Akmuq]

Alan Shearer?

 

[Fuzzy]

Craig Bellamy ?

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Nobby Solano

 

[MagpieRacer]

No, No and no. Still plays, currently in Russia, has played for Portsmouth and Blackpool.

 

[Famine]

Jason Roberts? Steve Nzonzi? Yakubu?

 

[MagpieRacer]

Jason Roberts? Steve Nzonzi? Yakubu?

Nope, none of those have represented Newcastle. He is of African origin though.

 

[Fuzzy]

Obafemi Martins ?

 

[Famine]

Sorry, I read "Newcastle" and thought "Blackburn". Always get them mixed up.

Wasn't Treasure was it?

 

[MagpieRacer]

Nope and nope.

He was at Newcastle from 2000-2004.

 

[Fuzzy]

Lomanu Lua-Lua

Probably got spelling wrong on his first name.

 

[Famine]

By "Treasure" I mean Lomana Tresor ("Treasure") Lua Lua, who was at Newcastle from 2000-2004 and has since played for Portsmouth and Blackpool...

Though he currently plays in Turkey, so it might not be him.

In which case your the winner Never heard him referred to as Treasure before but yes, LuaLua it was.

And my fault on where he is now, I thought it was Russia but it is in fact Turkey.

 

[Famine]

There was once a very odd transfer.

It was a straight swap between two clubs for two brothers who played in the same position as each other - one a World Cup winner and the other a PFA Team of the Year player who never made the international squad.

Who were they and what were the clubs?

 

[Liquid]

How long ago are we talking?

 

[daan]

The brothers that instantly come to mind are Bobby and Jackie Charlton.
