The Aidan McCaffery and Bill McGarry era at NUFC NUFC
Jarrow lad Aidan McCaffery was an apprentice at Newcastle United in the early 1970s, going on to captain the England youth side.The central defender seemed as highly rated by Gordon Lee as he had been by Lee’s predecessor Joe Harvey, and Newcastle had a decent side with fellow local lads like Irving Nattrass, Alan Kennedy and Paul Cannell.
Paul Cannell and Aidan McCaffery both found out in the summer that they were also surplus to requirements, as McGarry set about totally overhauling the playing personnel.He signed for Derby County for £60,000 and later joined Bristol Rovers for a fee of £70,000 in 1980. In 1982 Aidan McCaffery was even loaned to City by Rovers, to help their neighbours during a financial crisis that nearly led to City’s extinction.
