Rich Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 ...of the old fella in the flat clap who Sky always singled out during the halcyon days under KK (home and away, if I remember right)? Once saw him at Tynemouth Market (metro station) of a weekend and was in awe. He definitely needs to be an avatar. Have been Googling for a good while but can't find anything.

Ronaldo Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Was just thinking about that fella last night after watching the 92-93 season review. Have no images like, saw him coming out of Wembley and getting into a car with a couple of youngish lasses after the Charity Shield defeat in 96. My dad always joked that it was KK's grandad, which I believed for a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad always joked that it was KK's grandad, which I believed for a few years. Feel disgraceful saying it, but he smelled rather ripe on that early morning in the late 90's when I saw him. Imagine he has passed now, but used to love it how Sky would always home-in on him during our live matches and his expression would always be the same, win or lose. Definitely remember seeing him during that fucking 4-3 at Anfield looking more anguished than ever. Anyone know the bloke's name? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I can't remember off the top of my head what his name is/was, but someone will have the answer for you I'd imagine. He was referred to by name in loads of articles at the time (saying he'd been going since the 30s/40s, etc) , I just can't recall the name right now. It's not a very Google-friendly query unfortunately. I think he was called Stevie something for some reason, but I'm probably totally wrong there.

Interpolic Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I typed "famous old newcastle fan stevie" into Google images and got this: http://www.thisdayinrock.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/stevie-wonder-comic.jpg So we're not really getting anywhere. I don't think that's him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HGB1892 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 From a dot com match report vs Leyton Orient in 00/01 *Stevie Charlton is the old fella that was often pictured with Kevin Keegan in the 90s and who made it onto the balcony during our post-promotion parade. Imagine a walking corpse and you get the picture... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Really should have offered him the managers job after KK left. Has the face for it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Used to stand in the same paddock as him during the promotion season. Remembered his name was Stevie but others have already got there first. I'm sure I remember reading he's passed on a good few years back now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I dont think he was really the nice old grandad super fan that every remembers. I heard a few tales that at Christmas he used to busk and tell anyone and everyone who didnt give him money to fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a few tales that at Christmas he used to busk and tell anyone and everyone who didnt give him money to fuck off. Don't think he has that image anyway, to be honest. You can tell by his face and his expression that he was as hard as nails and as rough as a badgers. Think his respect comes from the lengths he went to following the club for year after year.

pedro111 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I remember during the 90's before one of our matches on sky they did a feature on him and Im sure in it he was singing the Blaydon Races on his favourite park bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
