On This Day in Sport (11 May 2010):

1924: Former Newcastle centre-forward Jackie Milburn was born. Milburn was the uncle of future England internationals Bobby and Jack Charlton and he represented his country 13 times himself. He was also a member of three FA Cup-winning sides, scoring twice in the 1951 final and once in 1955 and was Newcastle's record goalscorer with 200 until he was passed by Alan Shearer last season. Milburn died in October 1988 aged 64.
