History

Historical Context

During the 1995-96 campaign Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle United surged to a 30-point haul from their first ten matches, establishing a 12-point lead over Manchester United by January. A subsequent loss of form saw the Magpies fall to second place, a collapse that now warns modern clubs like Brighton and Bournemouth that early momentum alone cannot secure a title challenge.
