Sir Bobby Charlton
EDUCATION PACK 2019 Activity 1 Matchbox Memories Activity 2 A Living For Northumberland Day 2019, we are running Northumbrian Legend ‘Matchbox Memories’ - an initiative with which we would like to get schools involved. – Sir Bobby Charlton We are inviting schoolchildren to write their favourite memory of Northumberland, so far in their lives, on a plain white matchbox. Alternatively, they could write it on a piece of paper and a teacher could then write on the boxes, as these are quite small. Another option is for children to take a matchbox home and collect a matchbox memory from a parent, or elderly family member. In this way, they can take part in an oral history exercise. We then wish to collect the memory boxes and put as many as possible on display. The children can add their name, or the name of the person who has given them their special memory, if they wish. We have a limited number of matchbox memory boxes available, but they can be bought at Amazon, if needs be. We could also possibly partner a school with a local sponsor, if we can find one for you. We’d love to have pictures of children working on their matchbox memories, or all holding one aloft for a photo. We will try to arrange for certain collection points, if you take part. This is a very special way to being generations together and find out what people have found special about Northumberland, past and present. We hope you have fun with it. One of the most famous Northumbrians alive today is a footballing legend and one of the few Englishmen to have won the World Cup football trophy.

Alan Shearer Was Assigned the Task to Track Down Anthony Mitchell
The Sporting Image: What If? Chapter 9 Taxi for Agent Alan, to Rio and the French Connection Sean Dean and Clive Palmer Research Preface HE CREATIVE STORY IN THIS CHAPTER is a spoof comedic account of Alan Shearer playing the part of a CIA Agent. In order to spin T such a yarn it is seemingly helpful to know some context as to how such a story might come about. The tale starts when Alan retires from playing football after an illustrious career in the game. To all intents and purposes his stature and reputation within football as a player and now as an ambassador for the game may be a perfect cover to mask his secret agent activities for the USA! Alan Shearer was born in, Gosforth, Newcastle in 1970 to working-class parents Alan and Anne Shearer (Wikipedia, 2009). His father wanted him to take up football as a youngster. His football career started when he was a teenager playing for Wallsend Boys Club and from here he was scouted to trial at Southampton. He was offered a contract to play for Southampton in April 1986 (Wikipedia, 2009). Alan played for the Southampton first team in 1988 and was already starting to show his goal scoring prowess when he, “became the first man to score 30 Premier League goals in three successive seasons” (Newcastle United Football Club, 2008). After spending four years at the club he went on to play for Blackburn Rovers Football Club. At Blackburn FC, who paid at the time “a British record £3.6m fee in 1992” (NUFC, 2008), he would have his best years of football success in the Premiership.

ALAN SHEARER DCL Mr Chancellor, on the 4Th of February 2006 Alan
ALAN SHEARER DCL Mr Chancellor, On the 4th of February 2006 Alan Shearer scored a goal in front of a capacity crowd in St James’ Park. Nothing new in that, you might think. Yet, while Newcastle United’s fans never greeted any Shearer goal with anything short of rapture, on this occasion they truly excelled themselves: when the back of the Portsmouth net shook, the stadium itself also shook, as there erupted from the crowd a roar of appreciation so loud that it could be heard ten miles away at sea. The frenzy of appreciation continued for ten minutes. For what every fan in that stadium knew was that this was not just any old Shearer goal, but his 201st goal for Newcastle; as such, it was the goal which clinched for him the record of the highest‐scoring player in Newcastle’s long history of regular League and Cup games. That record had stood for forty‐nine years since it was set by Alan’s great hero, Wor Jackie Milburn, a pitman prodigy from Ashington. Jackie’s widow wrote to Alan immediately afterwards expressing her delight. Averaging more than one goal every other match, Alan Shearer scored 422 goals in his senior playing career. 260 of these goals sealed his place as the highest goal‐scorer in the history of the Premier League. Even if we count the old English First Division all 1 the way back to 1892, Alan remains one of the top five English League goal‐scorers of all time. He was capped for England on 63 occasions, 42 times as Captain.
