Malcolm Ian Macdonald (born 7 January 1950) is an English former professional footballer, manager and media figure. Nicknamed 'Supermac', Macdonald was a quick, powerfully built prolific goalscorer. He played for Fulham, Luton Town, Newcastle United, Arsenal and England. Macdonald is Newcastle United's fifth highest goalscorer of all time. He was top scorer in the English First Division with Newcastle in 1975 and with Arsenal in 1977. Club career Early years and Fulham Born in Finlay Street, Fulham, Macdonald attended the same school (Sloane Grammar school on Hortensia Rd in Chelsea) as former Genesis and GTR guitarist Steve Hackett. Macdonald started his career as a full back before switching to centre forward. He started his career at Barnet. After playing for non-league side Tonbridge, his schoolboy hero Bobby Robson paid £1,000 to sign him for Fulham in 1968 just after their relegation from the Football League First Division. Luton Town A year later, Macdonald moved to Luton Town. At Luton he scored 58 times in 101 matches. Newcastle United Newcastle United manager Joe Harvey signed Macdonald for £180,000 in the summer of 1971. He made an immediate impact by scoring a hat-trick on his home debut against Liverpool. It was in this game that MacDonald earned the nickname "Supermac", which came from a chant by the Newcastle fans to the tune of Jesus Christ Superstar, namely, "Supermac, superstar, how many goals have you scored so far?" In his first season Newcastle were bottom of the table on 30 October 1971 after Everton handed them their fifth consecutive defeat of the season. That match was the Newcastle debut of Tony Green. With Green and Macdonald teaming up effectively up front for Newcastle, the team prospered, with an unbeaten run of five wins and two draws to and climbed up the table. They finished the league eleventh, with Macdonald scoring 30 goals in 52 games in his first season to be Newcastle's top scorer in 1972. He top scored again in 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1976. He was also the First Division's top scorer for that 1975–76 season. Macdonald scored twice, eliminating Burnley F.C. in the 1973–74 FA Cup semi-final. In the 1974 FA Cup Final Newcastle lost 3–0 to Liverpool. During the TV show Superstars in 1975, Macdonald ran 100m in 10.9 seconds. Macdonald set up an equalising goal for Alan Gowling in the 1976 League Cup final at Wembley, but Newcastle
