As a Geordie and a Newcastle United supporter, I always kept a keen interest on what was happening on Tyneside in the early stages of my career at Southampton and Blackburn. Although it was common for clubs to sign foreign players in the early 1990s, the market wasn’t saturated the way it is now, but it was certainly unusual for teams to invest in foreign goalkeepers. And Pavel’s arrival on Tyneside certainly caused a stir. He turned up on the club’s doorstep when it was struggling at the wrong end of the old Second Division. It must have been a baptism of fire for the young Czech goalkeeper. Not only did he have to adapt to a new style of football he had to settle in to a new town and culture.

I can remember goal celebrations by Adrian Heath that nearly incited riots - Controversy over Fowler's conduct as a Liverpool player has never been far away. Tabloid tattle-tales but what FUN!

  • Of Our Foundation
    Finding more effective ways to detect and treat cancer OF OUR FOUNDATION Bob and I set up our Foundation 10 years ago because we’d been asked for help. We’d not been asked to set up a charity, just if we knew anyone who might like to donate some money to equip a new cancer drug trials centre. That request came from Professor Ruth Plummer, a woman I admire greatly. She was trying to raise £500,000 to fit out what eventually became the Sir Bobby Robson Cancer Trials Research Centre. They were moving the clinical trials team from its old site to a fantastic, purpose-built facility in the Northern Centre for Cancer Care in Newcastle. As Bob said at the time, they’re a first class team and should have a first class stadium. Alongside a marvellous team of caring professionals, Professor Plummer gives patients the opportunity to try new cancer drugs that might help extend their lives. And in undertaking the trials, these patients are helping build our knowledge about cancer treatment. They’re helping the people who will come after them who will also have to face this terrible disease. Well, Bob and I didn’t understand how Professor Plummer and her colleagues could raise this huge sum of money and keep doing such a demanding day job. That’s why we decided to launch our charity, Lady Elsie with Zara Stokoe, who has been fundraising in memory of her mum, Avril to raise the money for her. It was one of the proudest moments in my husband’s life when he was We don’t have professional fundraisers to organise events or able to hand over that first cheque for money we’d raised.
