Love him or hate him, you can never ignore Craig BellamyCraig Bellamy is one of the most fiesty and fiery players to ever pull on the famous black and white stripes.
He is right up there with the likes of Terry Hibbitt in the 1970s and even the great Hughie Gallacher almost a century ago.
In pre-season, the Toon had competed in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, reaching the final, fitness levels were seemingly at a premium.Another summer capture, £9.5m, also settled in straight away, and with the likes of Nobby Solano, Gary Speed, Kieron Dyer and Big Al also in our ranks, things began to look good and take shape.
He was a canny little goalscorer too and within months this ‘Marmite’ like character became a favourite of the fans.Manchester United, Arsenal and Leeds United were all put to the sword in the first half of the campaign, and Newcastle United proudly sat on top of the Premier League on Christmas Day 2001.
Craig Bellamy also knew what the Tyne/Wear derby represented to the Geordies, and saved some of his best games and goals for the mackems. Craig Bellamy allegedly feigned an injury because he wasn’t prepared to play out of position and Souness then had all the ammunition he needed to jettison Bellamy out of Newcastle.
