tCue Look North interviewing Tony "Newcastle United" Armstrong who moved house to ensure a seat at SJP to cheer on the lads

This is the sort of commitment everyone should have. They should announce that all season ticket holders MUST live in an NE postcode and give people one summer to move house or fuck off

I do know someone who moved from Washington to Kinky Park after their sons school got free tickets to the match at the weekend........ "Newcastles away at the weekend son"......"It's Sunderland dad".......Hoose on the market pronto.

Mike tickled a lot of people, allegedly.

I always think of that daft twat who used to sing in Idols - Alevis Broon - whenever someone mentions Mike Neville

 

'Yee look like a Geordie ... waak like a Geordie ... taak like a Geordie ... but I got wise; you're Mike Neville in disguise, oh yes you are, Mike Neville in disguise'

I bet our fans couldn't believe their eyes when Gazza showed up in those pretty lean times. 

Aside from the appearance of KK, Waddle, Beardsley and Gascoigne, 1977-92 were the drabbest years in our history. The club had no money and the boardroom divided, traditional industry shutting down with resulting sky high unemployment, decrepit stadium, hooliganism and racism rife, plummeting attendances.

Still better althan the Ashley years of torpor and torture...

I get what you mean but oddly those times we had our 3 best players in succession with Waddle, Beardsley and Gazza.
 

Next in line Bogie sadly didn’t live up to the hype… :lol:

Gazza was who I remember when I started going as a kid - watching him sat on my dad’s shoulders (which is painful on your arse, even as a little ‘un).

 

Beardsley was the better player, mind.

Standing in the Gallowgate at home to Villa, can’t remember the year, Beardsley shuffle at the edge of the area and drilled into bottom corner, best player in my lifetime bar none.

Nar, Gallowgate was all-seater then and I'm sure it was against Boro that?

That was Middlesbrough when his son was a ball boy. Thought of that one but think he must've been talking about an earlier one. 

 

Was the Gallowgate still standing while they were working on it the earliest PL seasons? I know his son wasn't born yet during his 80s spell.

My favourite player ever seen live, that goal against Brighton (?) from the edge of the box man.

Not keen on some of his behaviour and its a shame but the best IMO obvs, player I've seen regularly, loved HBA but Pedro for me like.

Beardsley > …

 

If he had a better PR team and better looks you are probably talking about one of if not the greatest English player we’ve seen in his position. Genius is overused these days but Beardsley was a genius.

 

Criminally ignored by the southern press as the blab on about the likes of Zola (who had similar traits as a player and person) and Di Canio. Neither could tie his shoe laces.
