My first ST was in the East stand quite near the away fans from 83 to 91 and I also stood in the Leazes for a couple of years before that. Jimmy Chargesheet - what a blast from the past - complete heed the ball. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During a close season in the early 80s a load my mates and lots of other lads we all knew from the match went to Berwick for a piss up, joined by a Newcastle fan "Peter from Berwick" and his mates. It say it was a crazy day was an understatement. Every pub we went to something funny or crackers happened. During the day and I don't know why but (allegedly) Mr Chargesheet jumped on top of a police car and tried to pull the police sign off the top of it 😂 When the pubs shut in the afternoon (can you believe they did that in them days) we had a football game Us v Berwick Mags and then into the sea for a swim, not the best idea seeing we were all mortal. I seem to recall someone got attacked by a jelly fish and nearly drowned. The police eventually caught up to Jimmy and nicked him, no one seen him again that day or the day after, along with a few others. Some crashed out at Peter from Berwick's house as he had about a dozen mattresses at his place, some crashed out on the golf course or the train station. I miss the 80s 😂 He gets a mention in this article on Geordie Times from a while ago. https://www.geordietimes.com/2017/09/the-meadowhell-mental-mob-1-bad-blue.html Edited September 11 by Tdansmith 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
