Well yes but so were Ginola, Ferdinand & Asprilla.

In which case they weren't class of '93 either. In fact, weren't Newcastle in the second division in 1993?

Yes on both counts. Shearer was at Blackburn until at least 1995 when they won the league.

Phillipe Albert reminded me of Bob Carolgees (or however you spell it).

Probably correct.

Phillipe Albert. Who could forget him lobbing Schmeichel? French guy you are thinking of was Laurent Robert, but he was much later I think.

They were great entertainment and had some real quality players. Tino, Ginola, Peter Beardsley, Keith Gillespie, Andy Cole, Sir Les & Shearer. And of that lot would stand out in today's premier league IMO.

Not to mention Rob Lee....

Phillipe Albert - who had an uncanny resemblance to Officer Crabtree from 'Allo 'Allo

I was lying in the bath the other night and was trying to run down the classic Keegan Newcastle United teamsheet from about 1993 all the way from Pavel Srnicek down to Andy Cole.

I did quite well but couldn't for the life of me remember the name of their burly Belgian centre half. There was also a Frenchman with the surname Robert but I'm not sure he wasn't a bit later.

Spent the rest of the evening wondering what happened to Alex Mathie and Robbie Elliot.
