The first of quite a few entries for the multi-clubbed Welshman. Bellamy found his way to the Toon via Norwich City and Coventry City in July 2001. Sir Bobby Robson later wrote that he was "a great player wrapped round an unusual and volatile character."Under manager Robson he formed a very productive striking partnership with Alan Shearer, Bellamy's pace complementing the former England captain's guile. At the end of his first season, Bellamy had scored 14 goals for the Magpies.
During his second season at Newcastle United, came arguably his most important moment for the club as he scored two goals (including the winner) in a 3-2 win over Feyenoord, which took Newcastle through to the second group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Unfortunately, in the next match in the group just two weeks later, (a 4-1 home defeat to Inter Milan), he was sent off for kicking out at an Inter defender which resulted in a three-match ban.
He had also scored the opening goal in the September derby match against Sunderland at St. James Park and finished the season with nine goals from thirty-six appearances.
