This is a documentary created by my son Tom, with a little help from me, that details Newcastle United's run in to promotion from the championship last season.
I'm always acutely aware that Tom's devotion to NUFC is my fault. He was indoctrinated in the ways of the club, by me, at a very early age. He supported the BW even though, living in the South East of England, he was the only Toon fan in the entire school most of the time. That takes courage and dedication, sadly (having supported NUFC since 1972) my "courage & dedication" has undergone several collapses along the way. Tom is goodly enough to let me borrow his strength and belief when mine fails...and for that I thank him.
He poured every ounce of that spirit into this documentary. It is made with love and care...and is dedicated to every single Toon fan, wherever they may be, to acknowledge that, whilst supporting Newcastle can be a bleak, soul destroying slog most of the time, there are occasions when it lifts your spirit so very, very high that you wonder why you ever doubted them.
Hope you enjoy it.
Excelsior Out!!
