These individuals have left an indelible mark on the world of athletics through their exceptional talent and unwavering dedication. Jackie Milburn's name is synonymous with Newcastle United Football Club. As a revered striker for the team during the 1940s and 1950s, he became a true sporting icon.

His charismatic personality coupled with extraordinary skill made him one of England's most beloved players in recent memory. From memorable matches against Ipswich Town to Swindon Town in FA Cup ties or Luton Town to Tottenham Hotspur clashes – Gazza always delivered moments that etched themselves into history books.
