manc-mag 1 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I don't remember it myself like but I remember hearing he was an Everton fan (supposedly) and started his career there as a youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye just checked - he did start there. Clue for this other fella, he played for Sir Bobby at Portman Road between his stints at the Merseyside clubs.

shackbleep 0 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Jackie Milburn played for three clubs during his career. Newcastle United, Linfield and the club he supported as a boy. Who are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 The only other time I was aware he'd played at all (apart from for England) was when he was a sports master at some school or other he'd taught at? Years since I read the biography like but genuinely dont remember mention of anything other than Toon and Linfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate enough to play for this team and well, you know, I wish I was just starting quite honestly." Whilst I've always assumed he meant that he was black and white, he doesn't actually nail his colours to either mast in that statement. Does put the mackems colours first mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone once told me it was something to do with them being from County Durham and the influence that Durham Cathedral had all the way up to Scotland. Fuck knows if its true and how its supposed to work but this bloke (I think he was a Berwick mackem himself) reckoned that was why. Maybe the Milburns/Charltons were part of that clique because Bobby Charlton has said he watched them as a kid too, although he stops short of saying he supported them. It was in his last book.

Charlton's a cunt and always has been in my opinion. Old skool Steve Bruce if you were. Geordie when it fucking suits him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
