OTD 1881 - 11 teenage cricketers played their 1st game of Association Football in South Byker

We are United…
But we were Stanley FC..
We merged with Rosewood Juniors & Cheviot FC (maybe not West End)..
We were Born in 1881 - not 1892🖤🤍

5-0! Cine Film found from post-match 👇

Happy Birthday #nufc

On This Day 1881, Stanley FC held their first pre-match press conference at Thomas Allan’s shop, Shields Road

Rules, formation & teams agreed, whilst fielding journalists questions about a ‘bromance-ometer’ between Coulson & Allan

#NUFC was born- 1st match programme👇

Last month Anthony Gordon met #NUFC fan Ivy, who was diagnosed with hyper IGE syndrome.

When Anthony scored his first #ThreeLions goal on Sunday, he stayed true to a promise he made to her

What a guy 🖤🤍

I may have got my info wrong about the nufc hall of fame later- it may just be 2 tonight🙄

Despite his achievements, Len White was never given a testimonial by the club (back when they were financially crucial to a retired player)

Rather one was organised at Whitley Bay’s Hillheads ground by fans👏

Len White - post-NUFC..

He was adored everywhere

39 goals in 110apps for Huddersfield Town between Feb 1962 and Jan 1965.

He helped keep htafc safe from relegation in the 2nd division during his time there and is fondly remembered.

Transferred to Stockport County for £4000 in Jan ‘65.

Len White - Does he deserve a place in the #nufc Hall of Fame Tues night?

Signed for nufc Feb 1953 & worked down the pit at Burradon Colliery (until turning professional in March 1956)

Managed to break into the team consistently in 54/55 season, often played wide to supply Milburn & co.

On the topic of Bruno’s Magpies having links to the toon, Las Palmas UD, who have recently had spells in La Liga, also have links to us.

Formed in 1949 following a merger of 5 clubs on the island, one of which included a club called Real Club Victoria. #NUFC

OTD in 1881…a cricket team from South Byker held their end of season do🍻

The next11 days were crucial to our history- they chose a winter sport, founded Stanley FC(thus NUFC was born)

An archeological dig(in my imagination)has unearthed the long-lost minutes from that mtg👇
