what a strange article.
I await part 2 where Taylor waxes lyrical about having his first snog on the swing bridge as a kid and his VIP membership of the Tuxedo Princess where he regularly went to wind down on any night off .

Fuckin' hell. Why do they insist on making everything about them? There's some shocking writing gans on at that paper.

Absolutely this - give a 5 year old a crayon and some paper and you will have a more intelligent article than anything in the Chronicle

Here was an article they printed before the last World Cup. It was meant to be about Ross Barkley but turns into a 'Geordie hero' tribute.
World Cup fever has kicked in and as the build-up for the tournament continues for armchair fans I spent last night watching the various preview shows across the channels.
In years gone we've had Geordie heroes like the Charlton brothers, Gazza, Beardsley and Shearer to roar on at the finals - not to mention former England boss Bobby Robson.
Like many my own most memorable moments from World Cups are Italia 90 when Gazza showed the world exactly what he could do and changed his life as part of the process.
This time around there won't be a Geordie star to hang our hats on in that sense.
But if there's one player that captures my imagination it's Ross Barkley.
The Scouser wasn't even born when Gazza's tears of Turin helped changed the face of English football.
And this isn't a piece directly comparing him to the ex-Three Lions star.
However, Barkley carries similarities to the Geordie genius.
As Toon fans witnessed earlier this season he can pick the ball up and waltz around players like he's in training, and he's got an eye for goal.
Barkley's own personal story isn't too different to Gazza either.
He grew up in Wavertree in Liverpool, a working class area of a working class city.
And he played on the local playing fields for hours as a kid like most of the fans who watch him.
He said: "It's every kid's dream to be doing things like that and hopefully I will get the chance.
"I feel ready for anything. It is football, not life or death.
"You have to go on the pitch and get a result and focus on what you have to do on the pitch and not get distracted."
Geordie fans may not have a local lad to roar on, but the Barkley story is one that's hard to ignore if he gets his chance.

Mark Douglas twitter feed is embarassing.
As the Op says, he hasn't taken criticism that he's tried to turn the passing of a well respected football man into a Geordie tribute.
