Newcastle 0 Boro 5, February 14 1931
THERE'S no better feeling than putting one over your local rivals - especially on their own patch.
This St Valentine's Day Massacre came exactly two years after the original gunning down of Bugs Moran's gang in Chicago.
Boro were going through something of a topsy-turvy season, having been hammered 8-1 at Aston Villa just two weeks earlier.
But the visitors took the lead after just 11 minutes when Freddy Warren turned in a superb Billy Pease cross past United keeper Albert McInroy.
Five minutes before half-time Kenny Cameron doubled the advantage with an unstoppable shot.
After the break left-back Syd Jarvis and Pease combined well and Camsell finished off the move with the third.
Johnny McKay snapped up a rebound from another Camsell effort for the fourth and Camsell himself finished off the rout with the final goal after more great work from the outstanding Pease.
Many Teesside men celebrate the anniversary of this victory even to this day by sending their wives and girlfriends flowers.
Newcastle United: McInroy, Nelson, Fairhurst, Naylor, Davidson, Weaver, Boyd, Bedford, Hutchinson, Starling, Wilkinson.
Boro: Mathieson, Jennings, Jarvis, Macfarlane, Elkes, Forrest, Pease, McKay, Camsell, Camerson, Warren.
