    Aye @Jarca (the old man) and my Mum are both born and raised in Sunderland

    Used to spend my summer holidays in Boldon at my Gran and Grandads. Don't get down as much now that they've passed away but my Auntie is still a season ticket holiday

    Born at Shotley bridge hospital
    Grew up/school in Lanchester
    Off to Manchester for Uni/raving and all that
    Amsterdam for my postgrad, back to Manchester for a bit then down to London
    Went LA soon after but realised that wasn’t for me so back to London and lived all over the city- south , north, west, central, east over a 10 year stint.
    Them Dubai for a couple of years, six years in Prague and another 6 in Helsinki where my song was born- his tune is the Immigrant song

    Back to London 7 years ago and finally settled into our home in Teddington southwest london 4yra ago. nearest train station is Fulwell - I start all my away matches from Fulwell station. Keeps me connected in daft kinda way.

    I’ve lived in 30 different homes , might have another left in me … but hopefully not too soon.

    Born in Barclay Court, moved to Town End Farm, then off to Hendon (posh end) at the age of 4. Lived in Tunstall before heading to Easington when I got together with Mrs B. Not one for travelling far obviously.

    Born Silksworth, moved to Barnsley with the mining industry in my early 20's, now living in Wakefield. 3 children now settled around the area with 1 grandson so looking like I'm stuck here but have my season card and aim for all home games while I'm capable.

    Lived in Peterlee until I was 27 and then for some strange reason I moved west across the A19 to Shotton Colliery and I’ve been here nearly 24 years.

    Coventry, brief stints in London and Suffolk ( months not years) and Uni in Middlesbrough. vague plan, driven by son wanting to do sports journalism at Sunderland, to head north in a couple of years but will depend on wife’s parents health really.
