Newcastle United legend Tony Green's Testimonial Match official Matchday Programme. Newcastle United v Middlesbrough 1973/74 Season This match was played on Friday 10th May 1974 at St James'Park in front of 29,000 suporters who paid tribute to a Newcastle United legend whose career was brought to an abrupt and cruel end at Selhust Park against Crystal Palace. The large crowd who turned up to show their appreciation to the Scottish International was all the more astonishing as it was less than a week after the 3-0 FA Cup Final nightmare defeat at Wembley against Liverpool. Despite only playing 39 matches, scoring 3 goals Tony was a crowd favourite from the moment he arrived in 1971 from Blackpool. A midfielder who was a joy to watch.
