Once upon a toon : 18 years inside Newcastle United

Ferris, Paul, 1965-2025
Books, Manuscripts
'Once Upon a Toon' offers a unique perspective on life behind the scenes at one of England's most famous football clubs. No other individual has had the immense privilege of working at Newcastle United in the capacity that Paul Ferris once did: as a player between 1981 and 1986, physiotherapist between 1993 and 2003, and finally as a key member of Alan Shearer's management team in 2009. The book is a deliberately light-hearted, often hilarious retelling of endless, and sometimes unbelievable, stories of events Paul experienced, and characters he met. His numerous, otherwise forgotten tales from a bygone era in 1980s football include the likes of Kevin Keegan, Jack Charlton, Paul Gascoigne, George Best and more.
