An elegant centre-back, Glenn Roeder's arrival from Queens Park Rangers hastened Newcastle United's return to League Division One in 1984. As captain, he served the Magpies with some distinction and grace for six years when his composure on the ball was appreciated by the Gallowgate audience.

Glenn replaced Graeme Souness as manager in February 2006.
