It was quite a year 1989.
Apartheid was slowly being abolished, leading to the release of Mandela in early 90. Hillsborough, first stage of anti- poll tax Campaigns, Berlin Wall (and Hassellhoff singing live from the scene), Tiananmen Square and essentially the end of the USSR.
Closer to home, Newcastle got relegated.
Quite a significant year in many ways and it changed the world for ever.
