On Thursday afternoon, Newcastle United gave manager Alan Pardew and his three senior coaching staff, John Carver, Steve Stone and Andy Woodman, new eight-year contracts up to the end of the 2019/20 season.

And here at nufc.co.uk we thought it was a great excuse to look back at the quartet's time on Tyneside to date.

Pardew was appointed as Magpies manager in December 2010 and quickly set about assembling his backroom team - promoting Stone to a role of first team coach, and bringing in Carver and Woodman as assistant manager respectively.

And we have trawled through the archives of Club Photographer Ian Horrocks to put together this exclusive gallery of the foursome on the training pitch and in technical areas across the country.
