NEWCASTLE UNITED V COVENTRY. 1964-65 SEASON, BARRIE THOMAS ATTEMPTS TO SCORE PAST
NEWCASTLE UNITED V COVENTRY.
1964-65 SEASON, BARRIE THOMAS ATTEMPTS TO SCORE PAST COVENTRYs GEORGE CURTIS.
A new centre-forward arrived on Tyneside, Barrie Thomas, from Scunthorpe United. He was quite a goal-getter and scored no fewer than 41 goals in the 1961/2 season for his two clubs. Thomas was a live wire, erratic but ever dangerous. This spectacular action photograph sees Barrie flying in mid-air at St James Park to reach cross before George Curtis of Coventry City.

Capturing the Thrills of 1960s Football - Barrie Thomas Soars to Score against Coventry City
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from the 1964-65 season, we are transported back in time to witness an exhilarating moment on the football pitch. The match between Newcastle United and Coventry City is in full swing, and all eyes are on Barrie Thomas, a new arrival at St James Park. Hailing from Scunthorpe United, Thomas had already established himself as a formidable goal scorer with an impressive tally of 41 goals during the previous season. Known for his electrifying energy and unpredictable playing style, he was always a threat to opposing teams. The image freezes a split-second action where Thomas defies gravity, soaring through mid-air with determination etched across his face. His objective? To reach a perfectly placed cross before George Curtis of Coventry City can intervene. It's a high-stakes moment that encapsulates the intensity and excitement of football in its purest form. This photograph not only celebrates the skill and passion of these players but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of bygone days when football was played without commercial distractions. Preserved by ncjMedia Ltd's Memory Lane Prints collection, it allows us to relive this iconic era in sports history while paying homage to Newcastle United's rich heritage.
