QUIZ! The Ultimate Newcastle United quiz

For this quiz, we're testing Newcastle United fans on their heroes: the no.7 shirt has a hallowed history at Old Trafford, the no.14 is special in the hearts of Gooners, but for the Toon, it's all about the no.9.

Over the course of the last 30 years, some of Tyneside's favourite sons have donned the iconic digit – so we just want you to tell us the 11 players to wear the shirt in the Premier League era. Five minutes to do so: sign in for hints and to leave your score in the comments.
