As we welcome Newcastle United's players home with the League Cup today, I thought I'd scan YouTube to see if I could find footage of our most recent cup homecomings. Now, as we're talking about 1955 (for a domestic trophy) and 1969 for ANY trophy, well, there isn't much available ... and nothing in colour that I could find!
