Challenge creator Nigel Wilson said: "This is an exceptional line-up that the region has never seen before.

"We have got players flying in from around the world to play on the day and entertain the north east.

"Tickets are flying out, so I strongly suggest you grab yours now because they won't be there for long."

All proceeds will go directly to the Prince's Trust to help disadvantaged young people in the region.

Tickets can be bought at Newcastle United's box office on 261 1571, or via www.nufc.co.uk, priced £12 for adults, £6 for children and £15 for access to the bar areas.

1983/88 P.J.Gascoigne 95/9 25

Showed at an early age he was going to be a world-beater and if he had half a brain I'm sure he would have accomplished it.

What a waste of talent. Had the skill, the balance, the strength and the vision of a master, and the arrogance to make it all happen.

But after leaving Newcastle he started to believe his own hype. One of the greatest midfield players this country has ever produced but he blew it ... big time!

Born in Dunston and signed from Redheugh Boys Club.

Joined Spurs in 1988 then went to Italy, Rangers, Boro, Everton and ended up at Boston.
