===1937β1969: post-war success=== [[File:Newcastle United F.C. 1960.jpg|thumb|265px|Newcastle United in 1960. L-r, standing: [[Jimmy Scoular]], [[Dick Keith]], Bryan Harvey ([[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]]), [[Bob Stokoe]], [[Alf McMichael]] and [[George Eastham]]; front: Terry Marshall, [[Ivor Allchurch]], [[Len White]], [[John McGuigan]] and [[Liam Tuohy (footballer)|Liam Tuohy]].]] The club found it difficult to adjust to the Second Division and were nearly further relegated in the [[1937β38 Football League|1937β38 season]], when they were spared on goal average. However, when World War II broke out in 1939, Newcastle had a chance to regroup, and in the War period, they brought in [[Jackie Milburn]], [[Tommy Walker (footballer, born 1923)|Tommy Walker]] and [[Bobby Cowell]]. They were finally promoted back to the First Division at the end of the [[1947β48 Football League|1947β48 season]].<ref name=history /> During the 1950s, Newcastle won the [[FA Cup]] three times in five years, beating [[Blackpool F.C.|Blackpool]] in 1951, [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] in 1952 and [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] in 1955. However, after this last FA Cup victory the club fell back into decline and were relegated to the Second Division once again at the end of the [[1960β61 in English football|1960β61 season]] under the management of [[Charlie Mitten]]. Mitten left after one season in the Second Division and was replaced by former player [[Joe Harvey]]. Newcastle returned to the First Division at the end of the [[1964β65 in English football|1964β65 season]] after winning the Second Division title.<ref name=history /> Under Harvey, the club qualified for European competition for the first time after a good run in the [[1967β68 in English football|1967β68 season]] and the following year won the [[1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Final]], triumphing 6β2 over two legs against Hungary's [[Γjpest FC|Γjpest]] in the final.<ref name=history />
