Scoreboard82 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 So many great memories. I'll always remember bumping into someone brandishing a chronicle, full of the news we'd signed him as a player. I think there was a picture of him coming down the steps of a plane and the steps had "Newcastle" painted on the side. That made me believe that it just might be true. We'd been rubbish for years and it was all about to change. Suddenly MY club was thrust into national news. This was one of the most successful players the country has ever seen, signing for US. Just seemed too good to be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 KK being sympathetic to whatisname - Gerry Thingie when Newcastle bt Spuds 7-2 Was 7-1. I'd have put money on it that it was 7-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 The morning after 5-0. Going to school to see the papers front and back covered in the Toon and their victory. Guides, pictures, reactions, pullouts, the whole nation went mental for us. Getting to high school and the whole place was buzzing, teachers, pupils, even the head master was walking about 5 foot taller that day. It was just immense, everyone was in a belter mood, no one was grieving anyone, no detentions, teachers having a blind eye to trainers and having a sly tab behind the science labs, it was a great day.
