It's now 1961 in our history podcast series. Newcastle's famous captain Joe Harvey has returned to lead the club as a manager and in the six years we cover in this episode the club claw their way out of Division Two and manage to qualify for Europe.
Matt and Paul are joined by writer Michael Chaplin whose new book 'Newcastle United Stole My Heart' details his time supporting the club and begins in the period this episode covers.
Theme music by Tom Ramsey.
