"For Ceremonial Purposes" :lol:

You don't live in County Durham mate, get over it

I am afraid I do, Hartlepool, County Durham, born Peterlee which has always been in County Durham.

You live in an area ran by Tyneside council, therefore I would consider you a Tynesider.
 
Actually, ignoring Spug's obvious wind up, it does make interesting reading. To have them all in the top 10 is pretty good, but SAFC never seemed to attract the fuckers.
When I was younger, the good ones seemed to be shipped off to Ipswich
 
Twaddle-Tyne and Wear, Tow Law lad isn't he, when was Tow Law in Tyne and Wear

Waddle deffo does not talk like he's from the Lar.
I think he played for them as a young lad but his accent is'nt from SW Durham

And St Bede was a Wearsider, you cheeky little smog. You live in the Borough of Hartlepool, ran by errr Hartlepool Council, so you are a Hartlepudlian. I used to work there and coming home would pass the "Welcome to County Durham" signs. On the way to work was, "You are now entering smogland, please drive carefully"

Might be of interest to someone . In 1989 I wrote a book about the history of football in Whitburn . Whitburn alone produced 44 professional footballers the last being Keith Waugh ( Peterborough etc ) . The number included several internationals and what would now be the equivalent of Premiere League players . Whitburn although now officially classed as Tyne Wear has always been part of County Durham which extended to the Law Top at South Shields .

I was born in Whitburn County Durham .

Very interesting mate. Amazing anount of players for such a small village. I was discussing football and Whitburn with my neighbour yesterday, funnily enough. I saw an old map of the village, and there was a pitch next to the cemetery. He said this was eventually swallowed up by a cemetery extension, and the rest is allotments.

By that must have been a crowded box
