Fond memories, 25 years ago!!!! (thanks to True faith for this link) The atmosphere was incredible and don't forget that Howard Gayle turned out in black & white for us whilst on loan from Liverpool. The Tyne v Wear derby has more passion and love than the TV/media hyped up sh1t of the manchester, liverpool and london derbies, which have their rivalry, but it is nothing ike this. It is one of the greatest sporting spectacles on Earth!!!!
The rascist abuse that day (against Bennett and Gayle) was the worst I have ever experienced as a football supporter. Thankfully, NUFC seem to have cleaned up their act these days.
What do I mean? I mean there was standing and people singing themselves hoarse. Scoring a goal in those days meant people jumped around literally and got hurt in the process. You go nowadays and there are more people but a lot of them are families and posh people and people that know nowt about football. You cheered on local heroes not mercenary overrated prima donnas that get a lip on when they're dropped. In crowds like that it felt like you'd played in the match.
Thanks for this. This was my first derby game and still my favoutite at St James. They went down that season under Ashurst and we finished 14th, but back then that was acceptable.
thanks for posting, a missed a lot of games in the mid 80s a was living in sydney,got to see mighty mouse kevin play 3 games for blacktown,a local sydney team about the stature of pelaw club, geordies from every part of australia and even a few loonz from new zealand flew in for those games,great memories
