Why...

I have always been a Newcastle fan, always had Newcastle top - used to get 1 with Shearer on back for my birthday

Never really liked football up until 03/04 season when we finished 5th, when Drogba upset me in the UEFA Cup semi final

My dad never liked football and he is a **** so less I say about him the better

My new born son is guna kick a ball as soon as he can walk and already has a Newcastle top with CHARLIE 9 on

 

Michael Owen could kick a ball before he could walk. Give it a go, and see what happens (if it works, you'll have plenty of help during retirement...)

 

Sounds lyk a plan

 

just remember to buy him a treatment table for his 9th birthday (future planning if he turns out like owen

 

And Spanish lessons...

 

Can't forget a horse or two too to keep him occupied and disinterested in football.

 

I live up in Scotland and Aberdeen are my local team, I used to go quite regularly to their games too.

When I started getting into football at the age of 7, everyone always has a Scottish team and an English team up in Scotland, Dad is a City fan. I wanted to be different, my best mate at primary school moved down to Newcastle and quite scarily my gran bought me my first football shirt, she chose the one she liked best and it was a Newcastle shirt with the brown ale sponsor from a couple of years previous.

Went to my first game at the age of 10. Newcastle 3-1 Fulham, sat in Sir John Hall stand, right at the corner flag on the side the bench is at. Best experience of my life, was hooked ever since and my love for the club and the city just grew and grew and Aberdeen just sort of faded in my mind.

 

I can't remember when I started supporting Newcastle, probably from the age of 3 or something stupid. My uncle was a big influence, he worked with Keegan for a little while when he first managed us and he got me a photo signed by the whole squad (I think it was the 1993/94 squad photo) with Beardsley and the likes. It still hangs on my wall today.
