Guest BooBoo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 When I was a kid my Dad told me that he jumped in the helicopter with KK after his testimonial and went for a beer with him at the Gosforth Park Hotel. It was a good 12 years later when I realised he had been telling porkies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Here's something shocking enough. I didn't know Newcastle and Sunderland were big rivals until I was 9 o_0. Thought Sunderland was just like the other games lol. Twas my cousins, who are Nufc fans also, who informed me of the rivalry in the end, they couldn't believe I didn't know of it. Tbf though I was 9 and growing up in Ireland and it doesn't get a lot of publicity over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 When I was on the waiting list for me season ticket, I though I wasn't getting it because nufc didn't like me . Tbf I was about 6 at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I was looking after these two lads once. They were aged about 6 and 5, and we'd decided on a game of football. They were arguing about who should kick off, and one of them said, 'Bob must kick off, because he's from Newcastle and the King and Queen live there'.

TheGuv Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I remember asking my dad when i was like 6 what the score was and he replied '1-0 to us'. I came back twenty minutes later asking what the score was and he said 3-0. I then replied who to? He had a mini fit trying to explain...i still left none the wiser.

Guest nameless Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The first few matches my dad took me to were night games. When I finally got to a match played in the daylight I remember being disappointed because I thought 'real' matches were played at night. Still something magical about a game under floodlights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Have misread this as "Things you used to get wrong about football when you were Lille" a few times now, thinking it's a thread having a dig over Debuchy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest James1892 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I reckon it was about half a season watching football Italia on 4 before I was fully aware we had a team. Lifesize Marco v.Basten poster on the wall I used to think they shouted 'goooooal Lazio' at the start of that show and thought it was unfair to the other teams. ^This! I still don't know what they were actually saying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscar Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Used to call Reading, Reading (as in reading a book). Thick little spastic what I was. Did a similar thing myself, called Southampton Soton as that's how it was abbreviated in shoot magazine. Also tried mugging my man utd supporting mate off asking him if Schmeichel was so good, why didn't he play for England Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I once wished and wanted Tino Asprilla to come on as a sub against Manure with bare feet without any football boots on..Coz at that time, there was this cartoon series about a football team called "The Hurricane" IIRC..And there was this character in it that played bare footed so i thought Tino could do something similar seeing he was one of the most skill full players in the league at that time..

brummie Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 When I was 9, in 77, we had a brilliant side, better than the league winning 80-81 side. We won the league cup that year, then four years later, the league, then the year after that, the European Cup, and Super Cup. I mistakenly thought we'd always be that good, and that said success was an indicator of years to come. I also remember thinking in 77, "we've won the league cup again, so it really can't be long till we win the FA cup again, 20 years since last time is ages, must happen soon". 35 years after that, still waiting :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
