Newcastle United will be handed their first trophy in 37 years
when they are presented with the 2006 Intertoto Cup.
The Magpies have won the honour by virtue of being the last
surviving side in the UEFA Cup that entered the pre-season European
tournament.
Newcastle haven't won any silverware since the 1969 Fairs Cup but
are expected to be presented with the Intertoto Cup before their
next UEFA Cup home match against Belgian side Zulte-Waregem in
February.
"We will be very happy to receive it," said Magpies boss Glenn
Roeder. "It would be disrespectful to consider it a lesser
tournament, as some managers do.
"This is a little bit of a reward for the boys who had to come back
on 26 June to play in the competition."
