Newcastle United vs Wimbledon - September 5th, 1987

Newcastle Utd and Brazilian memories from 1987...Mirandinha's debut for Newcastle against Wimbledon. As usual, the Dons failed to read the script and handed the Toon a defeat on Mira's big day. Video notable for some funny fan interviews before the game and also conversation with the great Jackie Milburn.

It was Mirandha's home debut but not his debut for Newcastle. He had already played in away games at Norwich and Manchester.

The match at Old Trafford was a week later.
