Welcome to Malcolm Macdonald

Date of Birth: January 7th 1950
Supermac – Malcolm Macdonald
Birthplace: Fulham

Down the years the number 9 has always held a revered place in the hearts and
minds of Newcastle United’s many supporters. Come good times, come bad times,
great centre forwards have continued to move the St James Park masses in a way
no stout defender or flying winger ever could. In bygone days, men like Hughie
Gallacher and Jackie Milburn drew the adulation, then in May 1971 a new heir
apparent moved to the North-East. His name? Malcolm Macdonald.

A prolific scorer for Second Division Luton Town, Macdonald joined the Magpies
for a fee of £180,000 as manager Joe Harvey sought to revamp a Newcastle outfit,
one that had failed to build on the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup triumph. With
“Supermac” set to lead the line, Geordie fans eagerly awaited the start of the
1971-72 season. However, no goals from the opening 2 games, it wasn’t until
August 21st when Newcastle United’s season ignited before a large St James Park
crowd. 39,720 gathered to see Malcolm Macdonald make his home debut against
unbeaten Liverpool, with a newcomer by the name of Kevin Keegan drawing rave
reviews… Yet the day belonged to “Supermac”, a magnificient hat-trick securing a
rousing 3-2 win for the home side.

Inevitably, Malcolm Macdonald continued to score goals in international
football. During the space of 5 special weeks in the Spring of 1975, the fast
and powerful striker had his finest moments in an England shirt. Firstly, he
scored one of the goals that helped his country to an excellent 2-0 Wembley win
over reigning World Cup holders, West Germany. Then, in a home European
Championship qualifier against Cyprus, Macdonald wrote his name into footballing
history, equalling the England individual scoring record by notching all 5 goals
in a 5-0 triumph

What I do now today
I have a chat show called “The 3 Legends” with old legends. The 3 Legends is a
radio show on Century FM, in the North of England.
