The cult of Asprilla - and the night Newcastle stunned Barcelona

Faustino Asprilla's memorable debut for Newcastle in 1996, just days after a snowy arrival in a fur coat, saw him come on to turn the game against Middlesbrough, leading to a 2-1 win. Asprilla went on to score nine European goals for Newcastle, rejuvenating the team during a critical point in the title race. Despite subsequent criticism after losing the title to Manchester United, manager Kevin Keegan defended Asprilla and David Batty, attributing the team's overall form decline to various factors.
