As a swede born in the mid 80s, grow up with English football every Saturday,
Don't know exactly what it was that got me supporting Newcastle, but I remember that I liked the fact that it's a northern club that the Swedish pundits said was really hard to beat at St James' Park.
Had no other friends supporting Newcastle.
Also liked the name St James' Park by some reason ?
The first game I really remember, and got me really hooked was the Liverpool game 1996 ? (dad supports Liverpool)
The rest is history...a couple of travels to Newcastle, 15 years of a rollercoaster,
A lot of people supporting Liverpool, Man United etc asking: Why Newcastle?! ?
Bulit a "Newcastle mancave"
(Now sadly gone)
1000s of hours spent here at N-O
