So saddened to learn of the passing of Peter Shearer who ran the wonderful Facebook site Classic Photos of Newcastle, although I never met him, we often had chats about photos and memories and I always thought of him as a lovely man and friend over the years. RIP Peter.

Great to have a few pints before the game today with Senial and ian cowell both of their grandads played for Newcastle the last time we won the FA Cup in 1955.

1964 / 1965 season -Newcastle United #NUFC That season they were Second Division Champions. Back (l-r): J. McGrath, G. Marshall, Frank Clark, O. Burton, D. Craig, J. Iley. Front: A Suddick, D. Hilley, S. Anderson, B. Thomas, Trevor Hockey.

What a brilliant and honest summing up of the situation at Gateshead at the moment by Greg Olley, so very sad.

A lovely day at the book launch of Spencer Vignes new book Postcards from Santiago at BackPageNewcastle. Enjoyed a few drinks and food afterwards with Gavin Haigh & Lynn, George’s daughter Elizabeth, Mark Crook's Wath Wanderers (ex-Wolves FC nursery) and the author.

Just discovered last night after being at the George Robledo book launch, that the actual house that George lived in at Ridgeway, Fenham that has a Blue Plaque outside was occupied by Len Whites family after George left. Yet just one Blue Plaque 🤔🖤🤍

A poignant image from Tuesday. Elizabeth Robledo, daughter of the late Newcastle United great George Robledo, back on Tyneside from her home in Chile for the launch of her father's biography at BackPageNewcastle, salutes St James' Park.

Anyone know which ground George Robledo is playing at on this photo?

So many bad takes about the proposed Newcastle United badge redesign, especially the worst non-argument ever “it needs to be brought up to date”. If up to me it would revert to the massive baroque city crest and Latin motto that the Edwardian masters wore, not some bloodless corporate logo.

RAY HUDSON ..He started playing professionally at 17, in 1973, with Newcastle United #NUFC . Fans nicknamed him Rocky and he stayed with the Football League First Division side for four years before moving to the U.S

Not really one for books but I loved Paul’s first two books so I’m thoughouly enjoying reading this one. Lots of great stories and a good laugh. #NUFC

Clint Scotswood BackPageNewcastle graham scott I found a camera film (someone would have to explain it to the kids what a film is) at the training ground, decided to get it developed, loads of photos of players including Mr Ferris. Could have been a contender!!!

Seventy-three years after her dad George Robledo scored the winning goal for Newcastle United in the FA Cup final, Elizabeth Robledo returns to Wembley Stadium from her home in Chile for this year's showdown. #FACup

I had the pleasure of meeting John & Margaret from Leam Lane yesterday, you might have seen them selling programmes in Newcastle on match days. John started selling programmes in 1956 and still does today with Margaret’s help. Would be great if they got featured in a programme

Well worth a listen if you're into Newcastle Utd, Barnsley, Colo-Colo FC, football, history, etc. Adrian Chiles discusses George Robledo and my book 'Postcards From Santiago' with myself & George's daughter, Elizabeth. Starts at 2:38:00 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
