Greatest Ever Comebacks : Gavin Peacock hat-trick sealed victory for Newcastle

2030

Crewe 3-4 Newcastle United
24 September 1991

Trailing 3-nil at Gresty Road in this second round 1st leg tie in the Rumbelows League Cup, Newcastle United looked down and out. But then came an amazing comeback that saw Ossie Ardiles’ team storm back to claim an unlikely win on a dramatic night of Cup football.

It was a roller coaster season for Newcastle United fans with former player Kevin Keegan rescuing the club from the jaws of relegation to the third tier of English football after Ardiles’ reign came to an abrupt end.
