In the 1985-86 football season Newcastle United F.C. participated in the Football League First Division. After their promotion two years previously Newcastle aimed to consolidate their position in the top league of English football. Manager Jack Charlton resigned six days before the start of the season leading to the appointment of Willie McFaul. The club finished 11th and performed disappointingly in the cups losing out to Brighton and Hove Albion and Oxford United.
