Legendary pre-war Scottish footballer Hughie Gallacher, the captain and centre-forward of the last Newcastle team crowned champions of England, will finally be honoured with a permanent tribute to his record-breaking career.
But it will come at Derby County, where the diminutive striker scored 40 goals in 55 games towards the end of his playing days, and not at Newcastle or Chelsea where he dazzled supporters and stirred off-field controversies in his pomp.
Gallacher moved to St James' Park from Airdrie for a British record
