This print captures a significant moment in the history of Newcastle United. It showcases the legendary Brazilian player, Mirandinha, alongside manager Willie McFaul on 28th August 1987. Mirandinha had recently made headlines by scoring against England while representing Brazil, and McFaul wasted no time in bringing him to Tyneside. In this image, we see McFaul standing proudly beside his new star acquisition with an infectious smile on both their faces. The camaraderie between the two is evident as they pose for the camera, united in their shared vision for success. McFaul's hope was that Mirandinha's arrival would ignite a surge up the league table for Newcastle United.

The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes ambition and determination within the football club. It serves as a reminder of how one player can inspire an entire team and fanbase. As fans look back at this image today, it evokes nostalgia for an era when dreams were high and possibilities seemed endless. This print from Memory Lane Prints allows us to relive those moments of optimism that defined Newcastle United during the 1980s – forever etching Mirandinha's name into Magpies folklore.
