All the talk this week has been about the latest idol from Tyneside. However, Andy Carroll's name has barely been mentioned without a reference to Newcastle legend Malcolm MacDonald.
Carroll put on a decent show and was widely regarded as one of the few bright lights in Wednesday's showing but as we look to the future it is an opportune moment to reflect on great achievements of the past.
MacDonald was maybe never given enough opportunities with England - despite this "Supermac" secured a place in history when he struck 5 goals against Cyprus at Wembley in 1975. An individual England goalscoring record that he holds to this day.
