We sadly lost Sir Bobby Robson 16 years ago today.
Thought I’d share that Sir Bobby’s Team, a group of football writers, will again run the Great North Run to raise money for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, the charity the great man described as his last & greatest team.
His legacy lives on.

Sean Longstaff helped Newcastle United, his boyhood club, make history.
He’s made an immense, but often unsung, contribution, and has also scored big goals on big occasions. There have been tough times too, but he’s made of tough stuff.
He'll always be one of the club's own.

The fact that he’s come back from so many injuries in his career says a lot about his character.

Newcastle United's Β£20m transfer 'bargain' Callum Wilson has left Newcastle United as a free agent after making a huge contribution during his five years at St James' Park.

Newcastle United’s cherished No.9 shirt was a very good fit for Callum Wilson, and there’s no bigger compliment than that.

Rolling back the Newcastle United years There were some lovely cameos in Newcastle United's latest adidas kit launch video – and a welcome nod to three players who will never be forgotten on Tyneside.

My mobile phone’s camera roll is full of photographs. Many are photos of football grounds.
I am a stadium obsessive, but the hidden gems in my camera roll are photos of the players and personalities who have shaped Newcastle United over the years.

Geoff Thompson has taken South Shields a long way over the past decade.
But what does the future hold for the club?
I spoke to the club’s owner about their remarkable journey up the leagues – and his decision to look for a buyer – for a Football Weekends magazine exclusive.

Newcastle United's big 'selling point' ahead of summer buys Newcastle United can get to work in the transfer market after a return to the Champions League – as Aston Villa count the cost of defeat.

This summer, as rival clubs are forced to sell due to PSR issues, Newcastle United, finally, will be able to buy.

Whatever happens today, this has been a phenomenal season, Newcastle United’s most successful in several generations thanks to the Carabao Cup win.
To also be pushing for Champions League football after a minimal spend in three transfer windows is just extraordinary.

Newcastle United's boldest move yet? Newcastle United's iconic club crest is set for a redesign for the "digital world" – but some fans are yet to be convinced of the need for change.

Why change the best club crest in the Premier League?
The question many Newcastle United fans are asking ahead of a digital-era refinement – and the need for trust in the process.

The Newcastle United gift that keeps on giving Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe could guide the Carabao Cup-winning club to its highest Premier League finish since 1996/97.

This season, for Newcastle United fans, is the gift that keeps on giving.

Enjoyed speaking to Elliot Anderson for @fourfourtwo.com, who have compiled a list of the Premier League's 50 best players in 24/25.
Anderson's had an incredible first season at Nottingham Forest after leaving Newcastle United, and deservedly makes the list.

Eddie Howe's first Newcastle United team call revisited As Newcastle United draw up transfer plans, two long-serving players – Fabian Schar and Jacob Murphy – are still going strong thanks to Eddie Howe's management.

Fabian Schar was out of the team, and facing an uncertain future, when Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United.
Schar was recalled for Howe's first game in late 2021, and the defender’s still going strong – as we saw last night.

But the seemingly luckless club could yet make their own luck at Wembley.
