• 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 the Newcastle United Football Club.
  
  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 to others 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 become great again.
  
  That's all we ask, and why we created this site.
  
  Dr. 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 Executive who was born and bred in Newcastle, before being shipped off to America by IBM in the early 1970s.
  
  He has supported Newcastle since he was four years old, when he saw his very first game at St. James' Park.
  
  Ed retired from IBM back in 2004, after 34 years with the company, and his last responsibility was running The IBM Network Consulting Group for IBM Americas.
  
  Ed played for Newcastle schoolboys as a youngster at both U11 and U15 level, and joined Newcastle United as an amateur at 15, and stayed for a couple of seasons from 1960.
  
  He attended King's College, London University from 1963 until 1966 and graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Electrical Engineering and with the highest grade in his graduating class.
  
  Ed then attended Newcastle University from 1967 until 1970, and carried out research in Computer Graphics and Mathematics, and was awarded a PhD in Computing Science in 1971.
  
  He played regularly for the Newcastle and England Universities sides during his time doing postgraduate research.
  
  The Newcastle University side reached the final of the Northumberland Senior Cup in 1968, and twice reached the final of the UAU (English and Welsh Universities) tournament during that time.
  
  Ed now lives just outside Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, Madeline, who is also a Geordie. Their daughter Elaine and twin sons Paul and Neil live nearby.
  
  Neil maintains the family tradition of being a Newcastle United supporter and follows the goings on at the club very closely.
  
  Ed and Madeline were married back in 1972 - and they said it wouldn't last!

• Cancer

  Ed Harrison was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer on April 25th, 2011.
  
  The Gleason count was a high 7, and there was only one effective treatment - to remove the prostate - and the prostatectomy surgery was successfully carried out in mid-June of 2011.
  
  Unfortunately the biopsies taken during the surgery showed the cancer had already spread, and Ed completed 37 treatments of radiation therapy on 2nd December, 2011.
  
  He will continue to undergo hormone therapy, and we're all hoping for the best.
