00:00St. James' Park in September 1999 saw the bottom two teams battle it out.

00:05Sheffield Wednesday occupied 20th spot and had only a point to their name,

00:09losing six of their first seven matches.

00:11Newcastle were only above Wednesday on goal difference,

00:14and after recording just a single point in five games,

00:17and failing to start Alan Shearer in the local derby with Sunderland,

00:20sacked manager Ruud Gullit.

00:22His replacement was the veteran Geordie and Newcastle fan Bobby Robson,

00:26and in his first home match in charge, Robson was quick to recall Shearer.

00:31Only two of Gullit's summer signings started,

00:34defender Alan Gomer and the creative midfielder Kieran Dyer,

00:37while keeper Steve Harper, Aaron Hughes and Tamuri Ketspire also came in.

00:42Including their disappointing midweek draw in the League Cup against Stoke,

00:46Sheffield Wednesday were without a goal in over seven hours of football.

00:51Despite that, manager Danny Wilson kept faith with striker Gilles De Bilde,

00:55who hadn't scored since his £3m move from PSV.

00:59Your match commentator is John Champion.

01:02Wonderful atmosphere inside St James' Park on this special day.

01:08Bobby Robson in charge on the ground where he used, as a boy,

01:12to watch the black and whites of Newcastle for the first time.

01:18Sheffield Wednesday had a torrid start to the season.

01:26De Bilde's effort helped on its way by Aaron Hughes.

01:33Could be a long, hard season for Danny Wilson's men,

01:37having lost six of their seven games so far.

01:41Here's Ketspire.

01:50Emerson Tom behind for a corner at the Gallagher end.

01:58Demand for tickets has been phenomenal for this game.

02:02Welcome back, Bobby Robson.

02:05Here's Ketspire.

02:12And what a contrast in mood and in feeling and indeed in weather

02:16from the last home game.

02:18And it poured down for the North East derby with Sunderland.

02:26Warren Barton.

02:33Newcastle throw.

02:37Shearer restored to the side by Robson.

02:41Bullitt's final mistake, history will show,

02:44was to leave Shearer out against Sunderland.

02:47There's Pressman.

02:49He's merely got his fingertips to it.

02:53At least that's what the crowd think, that's what Shearer thinks.

02:57What the referee thinks is what matters and he's given a goal kick.

03:01Still arguing.

03:11All part of the striker's make-up.

03:24Newcastle, like Sheffield Wednesday, have only garnered one point this season

03:28from a three-all draw with Wimbledon.

03:32Harper.

03:34Oh, sliced his clearance.

03:36And now they could be in trouble.

03:38And it's turned in, but the flag is up for offside against Andy Booth.

03:43It was De Builder that nodded it forward.

03:48After Steve Harper had had a very awkward moment

03:51with the attempted clearance.

03:53But Booth was equally very clearly in an offside position.

03:58It's a warning for Newcastle, though.

04:07Barton.

04:13Shearer.

04:16He's escaped from Tom.

04:18And he's won a corner.

04:22Bobby Robson's been working with Alan Shearer

04:24Bobby Robson's been working with Alan Shearer

04:26in training since his arrival.

04:29Trying to restore his confidence.

04:32Says he's tweaked one or two bits of Shearer's technique and approach.

04:40Solano.

04:42Away from Rudy, that was quite a lunge.

04:46Gary Speed.

04:48Gets Spier.

04:55Kieran Dyer.

04:57Up against Newsome.

05:00There's Hughes!

05:03First home goal at St James' under Bobby Robson.

05:07Is scored by the Elstermann.

05:09Aaron Hughes.

05:16Lovely dink ball in by Kieran Dyer.

05:19Good leap by Hughes.

05:21Low beyond Pressman.

05:25The ideal start for Newcastle.

05:29Only playing because Nikos Dabizas is suspended.

05:39Speed beaten in the air.

05:41Booth.

05:44Finally the effort on goal was fairly tame.

05:47Effort on goal was fairly tame.

05:52Simon Donnelly that had it.

05:58Barton.

06:02Such a feel-good factor now with Robson's arrival in these parts.

06:08Now needs...

06:10...for results to show an upturn.

06:13Certainly the case in the UEFA Cup in the week at CSKA Sofia

06:16with that win.

06:20This is Dyer.

06:23Carried away by Pressman.

06:29Kieran Dyer's enjoying himself in that role he's been given.

06:31Cutting in off the left side.

06:34Licence to cause mayhem for Danny Wilson's team.

06:47Ketspark.

06:54Speed to Domi.

06:59Speed's continued his run.

07:03Newsome left it short.

07:05That's a trip.

07:08Sheffield Wednesday just can't contain Kieran Dyer.

07:13Stopping him by fair means.

07:17Or by foul.

07:28Nobby Solano.

07:31Corner.

07:42It's by a near post.

07:43And he's come short for it.

07:45Solano.

07:46Shearer!

07:48That's more like it!

07:57Solano.

08:01That's a foul by Rudy on Dyer.

08:07There may be one last chance for Newcastle to add to this

08:10handsome lead before the break.

08:15In by Solano.

08:16And a free header for Gary Speed.

08:22Who usually makes far more of such opportunities.

08:28Newcastle fans will hardly be complaining with a match score

08:31like this.

08:37Well, whatever it is.

08:39It's a win for Newcastle.

08:42Well, whatever it is.

08:44That Bobby Robson has been saying and doing in the 17 days

08:46since his appointment.

08:48It's working a treat.

08:50First half hat-trick for Alan Shearer.

08:52Back in scoring form.

08:53One of them from the spot.

08:55Also one for Aaron Hughes.

08:574-0.

08:58Newcastle dominant.

09:04What hope is there for Sheffield Wednesday?

09:06De Builder and Carboni engineering the restart.

09:12They have scored three goals all season long.

09:14And those three include one penalty and one own goal.

09:19And including today they've conceded 19.

09:24They've used 22 players already.

09:28And they look an outfit bereft of any form of confidence.

09:34Any self-belief.

09:36Perhaps most importantly, there isn't much fight out there either.

09:45Not that Newcastle are complaining.

09:49Slip by Kit Spier.

09:56Barton.

10:05Newcastle finish 13th in the last two seasons.

10:21Following consecutive campaigns when they were runners-up.

10:30Speed.

10:33Shearer.

10:35Dyer.

10:36It's five.

10:40Very possibly there was a handball in the midst of that by Gary Speed.

10:44But everything's going Newcastle's way.

10:51Kieran Dyer adds his name to the list of goal scorers.

10:54There.

10:55Clear handball.

10:57Patted it down the middle.

10:59It's five.

11:00Kieran Dyer adds his name to the list of goal scorers.

11:01There.

11:02Clear handball.

11:04Patted it down like a basketball player but the referee didn't see it.

11:09And Sheffield Wednesday have shipped an unfortunate fifth.

11:17One of those days.

11:19For Danny Wilson and Frank Barlow.

11:27Domi.

11:29Kit Spier.

11:31Here's Rob Lee.

11:33And for once Carboni has won the ball for Sheffield Wednesday.

11:37Until he's challenged by Warren Barton.

11:42Great player to have if you're five goals up.

11:44Benito Carboni but not so useful if you're five down.

11:59Solano.

12:03There's Tom.

12:08Here's a chance for De Builder.

12:10Just ran away off his chest.

12:14Thumbs up for the ball in.

12:16Which was delivered by Emerson Tom.

12:22Shearer.

12:26Haslam back for Wednesday.

12:28Carry speed.

12:38Rob Lee.

12:42Barton.

12:43To Lee.

12:46Wearing number 37 today.

12:48And having a go.

12:51He was so far out in the cold under the hullet regime that he didn't even have a squad number.

12:58Had to find him one this week.

12:59Ready to play.

13:04Nice turn.

13:06Couldn't quite keep it down sufficiently.

13:13Domi.

13:15Speed.

13:19Solano.

13:22Here's Robinson the substitute.

13:25That's good work by Paul Robinson.

13:29Two members of the crowd exchanging glances.

13:33Newcastle have gone 25 minutes without scoring.

13:39Robinson sent on to try and pep them up.

13:46Lee.

13:59Barton.

14:03Shearer.

14:08Speed.

14:13Newcastle with abundant poise and confidence.

14:18That's a foul by Haslam on Robinson.

14:29Solano to take.

14:33And it flicked off the head of Tom last of all for a corner.

14:46And for this.

14:48Shearer is waiting expectantly.

14:51And Gary Speed has arrived who has such good spring.

14:53Robinson Hughes is up from the back as well.

14:57Solano.

14:59Speed.

15:03Half an hour without a goal.

15:05But now number six has duly arrived.

15:10A Gary Speed speciality.

15:12The late arrival.

15:14Powerful header from a corner kick.

15:18Unstoppable.

15:19In off the inside of the post.

15:29Free kick Wednesday.

15:34Substitution.

15:36Being orchestrated by Bobby Robson.

15:38Off comes the Georgian.

15:40Ketspaya.

15:42To be replaced by.

15:44Jamie McDonough.

15:45To be replaced by.

15:47Jamie McClain.

15:49Who's just about Newcastle's longest serving player.

15:51Having joined the club at the age of ten.

15:56Carboni.

16:06To build up.

16:10By Speed.

16:12It's a goal kick.

16:16Six nil.

16:30Not bad for your first home game in charge.

16:33Not that Bobby Robson.

16:35At the age of 66 ever needed to win over the Newcastle faithful.

16:40He is one of them.

16:46Robinson.

16:50By Walker not very far.

16:53Solano.

16:55Robinson stayed wide.

16:59Then he's blocked off and Newcastle have a free kick.

17:11Nine minutes to play.

17:16Newcastle six goals to the good.

17:23Solano.

17:25Shearer.

17:30His fourth.

17:33And Newcastle have bagged seven.

17:38And this is beyond the wildest dreams of even the most optimistic Magpies fan.

17:46He turned up today expecting to salute the new manager to welcome him back to Tyneside.

17:51But no way did they expect seven goals.

17:57The man with the touch of a Messiah.

18:10Clearly a free kick.

18:12Speed obstructed.

18:15And a goal.

18:26Waiting here whilst Sheffield Wednesday make a change.

18:30Dutch striker Gerald Cibon is coming on in place of Donnelly.

18:36Two million pounds from Ajax.

18:37Go on and change the game.

18:50Tape on his ring.

18:52And now ready for action.

18:59Robinson.

19:07And again Robinson who goes down.

19:09And Cibon with his first involvement in the game has conceded a penalty.

19:19And Robinson has now gone across to Alan Shearer to try and persuade him that he should be allowed to take it.

19:25No way.

19:27Only one player in Premier League history, Andy Cole, has ever scored five goals in the same game.

19:34Here's Alan Shearer.

19:36Now he's done it too.

19:43And this is Newcastle United's biggest win since they beat Newport County 13-0 in 1946.

19:53That day Len Shackleton on his debut scored six.

19:57Today the renaissance of Alan Shearer with five.

20:06Shearer's off again.

20:16Newcastle have played very well.

20:18Sheffield Wednesday have been awful.

20:21Here's Solano.

20:24This time Des Walker is able to scramble it clear.

20:36Shearer.

20:38And Cibon behind for another corner.

20:43They look disheveled at Sheffield Wednesday and demoralised.

20:47Only eight games into the season and they're in a real mess.

20:52One point to their name but Newcastle will go to four points after this.

20:59And they look capable of gathering many more on this sort of form.

21:06Clouds of the hullit regime have lifted.

21:10Metaphorically there is sunshine.

21:12Here's Robinson.

21:14That's Newsome.

21:16Sheffield Wednesday just want to hear the final whistle.

21:19They just want this nightmare to end.

21:23Nobby Solano.

21:25Gary Speed, good save by Pressman.

21:30Otherwise Newcastle would have matched Ipswich all those years ago at Old Trafford.

21:35In scoring nine.

21:47Huge acclaim for a stunning victory by Newcastle United.

21:52Alan Shearer wants the match ball.

21:54He's marching across towards Neil Barry.

21:57He deserves it for getting three.

21:59He actually scored five.

22:01Newcastle eight.

22:03Sheffield Wednesday nil.

22:05Bobby Robson.

22:07A basement battle indeed but a top class performance by Newcastle.

22:10And Bobby Robson would eventually guide his team to safety and 11th place.

22:14Eight nil represented the Owls' worst away defeat in Premiership history.

22:18And their biggest margin of defeat in more than 70 years.

22:22Their six point haul at Christmas was a Premiership low.

22:25And although they picked up in the new year.

22:27Manager Danny Wilson was sacked and the team was relegated.

22:35.
