I have no idea who the man is, but it's an eerie feeling to read that message about him. I'm sorry for your loss. Hello Jill,

That’s sad news about Sarge. I have no idea who the man is, but it’s an eerie feeling to read that message about him. I’m sorry for your loss.

Who do you want us in the East Stand to call on Saturday? I think the big differece today had to be Guthrie in the middle again. He can conrol the ball and pick ou a pass Toonsy

I know Bowburnmag and a few others on here will know of 'Sarge's posts on 'TeamTalk'. Sarge was one of my favorite posters. Always informed and humorous. So sorry to hear he has passed away. This message was on 'Teamtalk' posted by a friend of his. I hope it is ok to duplicate it here: Sarge (Newcastle United fan) Posted 11/02/2010 @ 19:03 View all Sarge's posts I am not Sarge, I am Ian. You may be wondering what happened to Sarge. I know he was a regular poster as I knew him very well and we travelled regularly to matches over the last 25+ years. He complained of headaches on the drive back from Plymouth back in January (he did say that match was enough to make anybody ill). The next day he ended up in hospital and a brain tumour was discovered, this turned out to be a cancerous lump and things just went from bad to worse for him. I last saw him on Saturday with a few of his other mates, basically, we went in to say our goodbyes. He still wanted to know about our victory against Cardiff, he predicted a 2v0 defeat at Derby (he was close). He talked about our recent signings and pointed out that the players that cost a million are simply not good enough for any team with any aspirations (he also said that we should call the new forward Leon third Best and even that would be flattering him). He asked us all to sing a song before we left him, we obviously had a puzzled look on our faces and when I asked what song, he said the Mike Ashley song. So there was a chorus of get out of our club before the nurse asked to pipe down, his smile was priceless as he told the nurse he had already told us to shut up. His final bit of advice to me was don't put my money on automatic promotion as we will be in a play off position and from there it is a lottery. Sadly he passed away on Monday......football matches will never be the same again. If you are wondering why I have put this on this site it is simply because he asked me to as he said there were many people on this site whose views he respected. I just got some really sad news.
