Signed from Lincoln City, he made 19 appearances for the Toon and scored four goals, and I remember them all - v Luton, two against Preston, and last game of the season in the 3-1 win over Orient.
He left to sign for Bristol City, but they couldn't afford to pay the instalments so they sold him back to Newcastle - FOR AN HOUR - so they could sell him to Birmingham City!
He was a hard, uncompromising striker who put himself about, but wasn't the brightest button in the box.
And today he tells us his old buddy Joe Kinnear "would have kept Newcastle up" and the former Toon boss fancies a sensational Newcastle United comeback.
Mick Harford: “I was with Joe just last week with the Bunburys (charity cricket club).
“I think one day he would love to go back to Newcastle – he absolutely loved his time there and holds the club, the fans and the city in the highest regard.
“He certainly made his mark there! I’m not sure it would be popular with certain people, but I think he did a good job there.
“Chris Hughton, who has done a smashing job there, worked under Joe for a spell, and I think if you asked him he would say he learned from a very experienced manager during his time.
“Joe is absolutely certain – and I fully agree with him – that he would have kept the club up if he hadn’t had his heart condition when he had it.
“When you look back at it his results were good, and I think it really harmed the club to keep chopping and changing managers that season.
“Every club needs to have its foundations and if you have a manager there who knows what they’re doing, it certainly helps.
“They had a bit of that stability there with Joe.”
