Jackie Milburn and Ferenc Puskas on the St James’ Park pitch – I was there!You know that sometimes you hear a song and it transports your memory to a specific time in your life associated with it? Or when a chance remark from someone can do just the same kind of thing?Special memory of 1967I actually got to see Wor Jackie on the football pitch a decade after his last game for us. To see the most legendary player in our club’s history was beyond belief.
I knew it was special at the time but to now have this memory of especially these two historic icons of the game warms the cockles in spades. I just read an old article about Jackie. Did you know he had an HGV licence as well and sometimes drove the team bus on outings? What a guy! It is clear and obvious to regular readers of The Mag that we have arguably the best independent fans forum. The breadth of coverage of what’s going on and the freedom to express differing views of our club and team is admirable and good for us all.I cannot put into words the feelings you have stirred in me with your messages and letters of support.
