The Northern Irishman came through the ranks as a youngster on Tyneside and lifted the FA Youth Cup in 1962 courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
After making his breakthrough into the senior side, Craig would spend 14 years in the first team squad - including a successful 1968/69 campaign which saw the Magpies achieving European glory as Fairs Cup winners.
A regular at international level during the 1970s, Craig was unfortunate to miss out on two cup final appearances during the decade - missing the 1974 FA Cup Final and 1976 League Cup Final due to injury.
Craig was deservedly inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2019.
