Green, Hucks, Ashton, Mckenzie, Drury, McVeigh, Fleming

All very good Championship players back then.

I am not denying the Toon squad was great but they were in free fall at the time and people were expecting them to keep dropping. Hughton lifted the squad and won the league, being the best team by miles. Would have been easy to fail.
