===1903β1937: first glory years and war years=== [[File:FACupFinal1905NewcastleVilla.jpg|thumb|right|Harry Hampton of Aston Villa scores one of his two goals in the 1905 FA Cup final.]] In [[1903β04 in English football|1903β04]], the club built up a promising squad of players, and went on to dominate English football for almost a decade, the team known for their "artistic play, combining team-work and quick, short passing". Long after his retirement, [[Peter McWilliam]], the team's [[Defender (association football)|defender]] at the time, said, "The Newcastle team of the 1900s would give any modern side a two goal start and beat them, and furthermore, beat them at a trot". Newcastle United went on to win the League on three occasions during the 1900s; [[1904β05 Football League|1904β05]], [[1906β07 Football League|1906β07]] and [[1908β09 Football League|1908β09]].<ref name=history /><ref>{{cite news |title=Newcastle United, "Newcastle United Trophy cabinet which has been empty for many a year." |url=http://www.skysports.com/football/venue/0,19753,11065_59,00.html |website=Sky Sports |access-date=18 January 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071024143134/http://www.skysports.com/football/venue/0%2C19753%2C11065_59%2C00.html |archive-date=24 October 2007}}</ref> In 1904β05, they nearly did the double, losing to [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] in the [[1905 FA Cup Final]]. They were beaten again the following year by [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] in the [[1906 FA Cup Final]]. They reached the final again in 1908 where they lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers. They finally won the FA Cup in 1910 when they beat [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]] in the [[1910 FA Cup Final|final]]. They lost again the following year in the [[1911 FA Cup Final|final]] against [[Bradford City A.F.C.|Bradford City]].<ref name=history /> The team returned to the [[1924 FA Cup Final|FA Cup final in 1924]], in the second final held at the then new [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley Stadium]]. They beat Aston Villa, winning the club's second [[FA Cup]].<ref name=history /> Three years later, they won the First Division championship a fourth time in [[1926β27 Football League|1926β27]], with [[Hughie Gallacher]], one of the most prolific goal scorers in the club's history, captaining the team. Other key players in this period were [[Neil Harris (footballer, born 1894)|Neil Harris]], [[Stan Seymour]] and [[Frank Hudspeth]]. In 1930, Newcastle United came close to relegation, and at the end of the season Gallacher left the club for [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], and at the same time [[Andy Cunningham (footballer)|Andy Cunningham]] became the club's first team manager. In [[1931β32 Football League|1931β32]], the club won the [[1932 FA Cup Final|FA Cup]] a third time. However, a couple of years later, at the end of the [[1933β34 Football League|1933β34 season]], the team were relegated to the Second Division after 35 seasons in the top. Cunningham left as manager and [[Tom Mather]] took over.<ref name=history />
