About

Geordie Steph was born in Newcastle, lived in Gosforth and went to school at La Sagesse in Jesmond. She remembers Jackie Milburn, ship-building on the Tyne, trolley buses, the Gosforth Royalty, the Club A Gogo and special day trips to Whitley Bay.

A passionate supporter of Newcastle United, Geordie Steph is hoping despite the odds that her beloved team can make it back to the Premiership in one season whilst secretly envying Sunderland their stronger team, charismatic Chairman and Geordie Manager in the 2009-2010 season.

She now lives in the South which only sharpens her love of the North, the rugged countryside, the resilient people and the local food, football and musical heroes the area can rightly be proud of.
