    I was reading through NUFC.com and they have a small piece called "Ground Zero" with this link:

    http://www.stuffbypaulbrown.com/before-st-james-park-origins-newcastle-unite/

    Basically someone has looked into the early beginings of NUFC and how they came to settle at SJP, if you are familiar with the area it makes an interesting read.

    ***I can't copy and paste as it has pics and maps included.***

    My local team started when two of the areas five-a-side teams came together and decided to play with the correct number of players. At least thats what they claim...
