Ignacio Gonzalez
| Born | 14 May 1982, Montevideo |
| Nationality | Uruguayan |
| Weight | 73 kg |
| Height | 1.80 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
Allegedly, the recruitment of the Uruguayan midfielder brought Kevin Keegan’s second spell in charge at Newcastle to an end after the signing was forced on him by director Dennis Wise. Ignacio’s season loan was further hindered by a serious achilles tendon injury.
