The Newcastle United Blog

• COMMENTS POLICY
  
  The purpose of the comments is to allow Newcastle United fans and others to express their views on the news of the day concerning Newcastle United Football Club.
  
  We ask all readers to respect other reader's opinions and views, even though they may violently disagree with them.
  
  We have removed the editing capability for comments, because it was one of the things slowing the site down, so from now on any comments that contain any foul language at all will not make it to the blog.
  
  Let's also respect fans from other clubs, and remember they are only supporting their clubs as much as we support Newcastle United, so there's nothing wrong with that. In short, let's be civil to all our readers.
  
  In general, we'd ask you to be civil towards other members and refrain from obscene remarks, and any comments on religion, ethnic groups or politics.
  
  The key to all of this is to be respectful in expressing your opinion.
  
  We want this site to be read by our younger generation of Newcastle United fans around the world, which is one big reason we will not tolerate bad language.
  
  Please let's make this work - and let's help the Newcastle United Football Club, which we all love, become great again.
  
  That's all we ask, and why we created this site.
  
  Ed Harrison.
  
  
  SIR BOBBY ROBSON FOUNDATION
  
  
  
  The great man cast in bronze
  
  Robson’s foundation, which will continue after his death in July, 2009, will fund cancer research and treatment, a cause always close to his heart, after contracting cancer five times, including inoperable tumors in his lungs, which was finally responsible for his death.
  
  The hope of the foundation is to raise funds for a 12-bed treatment rooms, a laboratory, and consulting rooms for a new Cancer Care Center at Newcastle’s Freeman Hospital, though the foundation has no intention of stopping there.
  
  We’d like to help wherever we can so donations can be made here or by mailing a check to:
  
  Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, PO Box 307, Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne NE7 7QG. England.
  
  This is a wonderful way to honor the memory of one of the great men of football.

  Dr. Ed Harrison is a retired IBM Consulting Group Executive who now has time to write about his lifelong passion - Newcastle United Football Club.
  
  Ed was born and bred in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and watched his first game at St. James’ Park in 1949 as a 4 year-old with his parents and was told to look out for Newcastle's number 9 - Jackie Milburn – the great Wor Jackie - and was he fast!
  
  Ed played for the Newcastle U11 and U15 schoolboys and Northumberland schoolboys, and then went on to study at both King’s College, London (BSc - Electrical Engineering) and Newcastle University (PhD - Computer Science). He played for Newcastle Universities and England Universities from 1967 until 1970.
  
  Ed was at Newcastle United for a couple of years from 1960 as an amateur while still at school, and played with Bobby Moncur and David Craig, amongst others, for the Newcastle United Under-18 side (Newcastle N’s in those days), during the relegation season of 1960-1961. The season after Ed left Newcastle, the U18s won the FA Youth Cup for the very first time - and now we know why.
  
  But a short couple of years after Ed joined IBM in 1970, he was shipped over to the USA, with his new wife Madeline, a beautiful local Newcastle girl.
  
  At IBM Ed was in computer systems and network design for 22 years, and then in his final 12 years at the company, was in executive management, where he ended up running IBM's Americas' Network Consulting Practice for 6 years from the late 1990s, and was instrumental in forming the prosperous IBM networking alliance with Cisco Systems in 1999.
  
  Ed and Madeline live just outside Raleigh in North Carolina. Their twin sons Paul and Neil, and daughter Elaine, are now in their 30s and live close by, and Neil has carried on the family tradition by becoming an avid Newcastle United supporter.
  
  And one final thing - you can take the boy out of Newcastle but you can't take Newcastle out of the boy!
  
  Howay The Lads!!
