No need for that, really.
Agreed. Supermac might be a gobshite, but the man has turned his life around and is of course, a black and white legend.
he drank to self medicate for his knee pain, an injury which ended his career at Arsenal early. After a few years, the football league( the name of the scheme that looks after ex players eacapes me) paid for his knee operations, after that he never drank again. Bad craic for fans to mock ex players trying to deal with injuries and the like, that wern't taken care of by the clubs at the time.
Never drank again?
When he used to chair North Shields (2002ish), he used to drink like a fish and be pissed off his tits all the time.
maybe that was before his operation? ( clutches at straws) or somebody is fibbing.
Apparently he's sober now too, but I saw him pint in hand at a talk in at the start of the season.
doubt hes alone in Newcastle- or on this board for that matter tho.
