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!!
