    All-time local 11

    You're gonna have to excuse my ignorance of locally born players as I'm going to do this totally off the top of me head without any Googling (doesn't mean you can't, though).

    Who would make it into an all-star, locally born Newcastle team. I haven't included any mackems (as far as I'm aware ) for no other reason than I don't know anything about their players but I'm sure some of our older or more knowledgeable posters will be able to put me right.

    So....help me fill in the blanks and make me look stupid as you put in obvious ones that I didn't know about.

    .........................................GK? (not a good start).......................

    Steve Watson..................Jack Charlton.............Steve Howey (ah, there's a mackem )............LB?

    ........................Waddle.................... ........Gazza...............Bobby Charlton...........


    ..............................................Bear dsley................................

    ..................................Shearer......... ......Milburn,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Remember....this is born in the Toon (well, in and around...not being too precious about it) not played for the Toon.

    Manager: Keegan

    Physio: Paul Ferris (ok, ok, dragging it out now)

    Doctor: only kidding...

    Well i remember Jak Alnwick was born in Toon but that is pushing us for a keeper

    He is at Rangers now i've just noticed, so not done to badly.

    Why not Steve Harper. I know born well inside Muckem territory but still well within range of the Toon.

    With Harper in goal that would make a better England team than Southgate could call on.

    Right.

    Sleeping in a tent for 3 days....sorry, I should say 'sleeping' has clearly fucked me heed beyond reason. Me trying to be a clever arse and only thinking of past players.

    I'm off to bed.

    Myleene must have kept you awake all night. Still at that rate it's time well spent.
