This was The Toon's debut Champions League campaign and they had famously kicked it off in style with a gloriously thrilling 3-2 victory over Barcelona at St James' Park. Kenny Dalglish's men backed that up with a hard fought 2-2 draw in Kiev after coming from 2-0 down and now it was a trip to Eindhoven. Here is where the going started to get tough though. The Dutch giants ground out a 1-0 win on the night with Wim Jonk scoring the only goal of the game after 37 minutes. Howey played the full match at the back alongside Darren Peacock. PSV and Barcelona beat Newcastle in the return fixtures and the dream of the Quarter Finals was sadly over. Howey made his first team debut back in 1989 and the youth team graduate was a regular fixture of the side throughout the 90's when fit. The defender's great form even earned him 4 England caps in 95-96  Click the banner to get it at ONLY: GBP349.99
