Newcastle United are a beacon of the North East, a famous Premier League club renowned the world over. Thousands of supporters flock to St James’ Park to roar on the Magpies every fortnight.
While most, ourselves included, prefer to mingle with the masses, some have the fortunate honour of sitting in with the rich and famous. Tyneside is home to many stars and celebrities alike but everyone is bound by a common love: the football club.
