Taking a trip through the careers of Newcastle's all-time cult heroes, this book examines how and why entertainers such as Paul Gascoigne, Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley, and Bobby Mitchell became Tyneside idols. It also presents material on some of the most colourful characters in Newcastle's long and often turbulent history.
Newcastle United Cult Heroes is devoted to 20 players who have won a special place in the hearts of the Toon faithful - not necessarily the greatest footballers, but a unique brotherhood of mavericks and stalwarts, locals and big signings who ignited passion on the terraces. Includes Gallacher, Milburn and Mitchell, Keegan, Gascoigne and Shearer.
