Gordon Lee Newcastle United Manager July 1976 Out went the old
Gordon Lee Newcastle United Manager July 1976
Out went the old, in came the new. Loyal servant for over 35 years, Joe Harvey moved upstairs during the close season of 1975 and the largely unheard of Gordon Lee breezed into St JamesO Park. Out also went NewcastleOs star system: the newborn Newcastle United was to be based upon team ethics and solid, hard work. Another Wembley appearance soon followed, so did a return to Europe, but then Newcastle collapsed dramatically, like the proverbial deck of cards Ð and they were back in Division Two

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Newcastle United. In July 1976, Gordon Lee took over as the manager of the club, marking the end of an era and ushering in a new chapter for the team. Joe Harvey, a loyal servant to Newcastle for over 35 years, had moved upstairs during the close season of 1975, making way for Lee's arrival. Lee brought with him a fresh approach to managing the team. He discarded Newcastle's star system and instead focused on building a squad based on teamwork, ethics, and hard work. This shift in philosophy quickly yielded positive results as Newcastle made appearances at Wembley and returned to European competitions. However, just as their fortunes seemed to be rising once again, disaster struck. Like a deck of cards collapsing dramatically, Newcastle found themselves relegated back to Division Two amidst great disappointment. The photo itself showcases Gordon Lee during this pivotal time period. Dressed in his track suit strip synonymous with football managers of that era, he exudes confidence and determination. Preserved by Hunter North Shields' Memory Lane Prints collection from the 1970s - an iconic decade for football - this image serves as both a reminder of past glories and a testament to how quickly fortunes can change in sport.
