ToonToon69 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 It should have been narrated by Jimmy Nail in the guise of OZ. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda loses credibility as a documentary if the whole story is being told by literally Mr Newcastle, but then this was always gonna be fundamentally pro-NUFC, which obviously I've no complaints about. Won't spoil it, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Kevin Whately would have been my pick. A supporter, still got a Geordie accent but not laid on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceived behind Dontino's Nite Spot and born in Hexham General Hospital. I was also King of the Wentworth Roller Disco from 1990-1992. So pipe down with the passive aggressive anti-Hexham jibes please. Edited August 9, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must've missed Sir Ben Kingsley's 206 goals for Man City LOL! It is a bit different though. They might be fans but Daniel Kaluuya isn't to Arsenal what Shearer is to Newcastle, etc. Plus those people are all trained actors with dramatic credentials. Anyway, I'm going too far into it, it's not a big deal. Would've just thought an actor would be a better fit, give it a bit more gravitas. My banter shout is Roger Tames. Cheers.

He's been working in the media for 17 years like, but I take the point. I can't think of anyone that would have done the whole gravitas but local thing tbh.
