My dad knows Gary Pallister, sort of.

[ToonArmy1892]

Also none of the players he mentions are actually Geordies (in my eyes)

Bryan Robson is from Durham, Bruce and Bobby Charlton are both manc plastic geordies and are clearly disgusted they are from Newcastle/Northumberland.

As good as SAF, I think he’s naive if he thinks he could have solved Gazza’s mental problems, the worst of them started after his playing career

From a young age Gazza blamed himself for the death of two of his childhood friends. His problems run way deeper that getting caught up in the bright lights of the city.

And I think late-80s Man Utd were all about heavy drinking

Sir Bobby wasn’t a Geordie then?

Ohh ya got me there. 

Let's go with adopted Geordie.

[Rafalove]

In Sir Bobby’s generation I think Geordie was more of a term for people from the north east rather than Tyneside specifically so perhaps he can still be called a Geordie.

Dunno like, i'd class people from Gateshead as Geordies as it's right on the river, any further south i wouldn't.

I may be biased though as my Dad was born in Gateshead and brought up in Hebburn.

Some will say only north of the tyne.

Not that any of it particularly matters anyway.

I agree, but i think there are some who only class north of the tyne as geordies, maybe i'm wrong.

[Happinesstan]

Didn't Geordies come from the land North of the Humber?

[Collage]

These people are idiots then.

They used to. In the '73 Cup Final commentary they were referred to as a "Geordie team" and had "Geordies" on more than one banner in the crowd. Back then round my way (Boldon), you'd get a punch in the mouth for calling a Sunderland fan a makem. It was regarded as an insult.

Mackems used to sing Geordie boot boys man

Brilliant, brilliant player. Unfortunately he was not the brightest and the people he socialised with and classed as his friends, totally milked off him imho with little care for his best interests. Spent time in his company a couple of times in the 80s and he was good crack, daft as a brush and loved talking to anyone. Even now he still is in the newspapers for the wrong reasons at regular intervals. It could have been so different if he hadn’t chosen the bright lights of London instead of Man Utd. Honestly believe Ferguson was the right person to manage him and ensure his off field problems were curtailed. Mind he did still have a very decent career, just could have been a totally brilliant one.

[ToonArmy1892]

What the fuck was Hoddle thinking not taking him to France 98, even if past his best he was still better than everyone else, bar maybe Shearer.
