When did Newcastle United last win a trophy?
NEWCASTLE fans will feel as if they have been starved of seeing their side lift major silverware – but that could all change after Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.
The Magpies have turned over a new leaf since the arrival of the Saudi owners along with Eddie Howe’s appointment.
And Newcastle can finally end their torrid run of not achieving major success when they take on Manchester United at Wembley.
But how long has it been since the old famous club lifted a trophy?
When did Newcastle United last win a trophy?
Newcastle technically won their last trophy during the 2016/17 Championship season under Spanish icon Rafael Benitez.
And going further back, the Magpies achieved Intertoto Cup success in 2006 and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1968/69.
However, none of the previous are considered as major titles meaning that Newcastle’s last official triumph was an FA Cup win in the 1954/55 season.
The English giants beat Manchester City 3-1 at Wembley which saw them lift the iconic trophy for a sixth time.
