Newcastle United legend David Kelly has been immortalised thanks to Wor Flags’ latest display. The group unfurled a giant flag marking the moment Kelly scored against Portsmouth in 1992.
For fans who remember that goal, it is often described as the most important strike in the club’s history. With the club on the brink of relegation to the then third division, defeat to the South Coast team that day would have all but condemned United to relegation.
Kelly scored the 86th-minute winner in front of the Gallowgate sending St James’ Park into celebrations. The goal came from a long ball down to Kelly, who knocked it down to Quinn before running on and striking it into the corner.
