Interesting snippet about your great grandfather
my uncle was slightly younger than him, but not that much, and he was playing for NUFC youth teams early 30's

he was offered apprenticeship with them but his dad refused to sign the papers - saying there was no future in football.

they might have been playing in the same team otherwise !

Hi Legend, We are from Ship builders and mining engineer stock so to have one of our own wear the black & white is a great point of pride for the family. My grandma, who's knocking on, (don't let her here me say that or she'll rattle my legs for me, Fiery old bird that she is ) still remembers walking into town & up the hill to St James' singing the Blaydon races as they went.

It's tough to listen to the indignity spewed about our club by the likes of Talk Sport & Sky Sports. The shame of ignorance can be forgiven but should never be forgotten.

When the day comes and Newcastle Unite is restored to her rightful place in the upper echelons of English football we shall have the last laugh.

I'm very much looking forward to a post-MA world!

Best wishes to all,

D
