He was absolutely a Geordie.
Arguably one of the finest. I don't know many Mackems who have a bad word to say about him.
He also grew up in a time where the vast majority of people form the North East were "Geordies".
Apparently even Sunderland fans were singing about being geordie in 1973.

I imagine Sir Bob was of the generation when we were all Geordies up here
Is there a more suitable definition?
Durhamonian or whatever the Durham folk call themselves?

I was born in Newcastle but lived in County Durham from 3 years old to 19 years old.
I've supported Sunderland since 1987 when I started going to Roker Park.
I'm both a Mackem and a Geordie and perfectly happy with both labels.

Was current way longer than that. Acquiescing to John 'Toad' Hall's definition was the final straw.
Steve Bruce was hounded out of SAFC because he was a geordie, allegedly.
A Geordie from fcking Corbridge...
Yeah, I know - definitions were different, especially pre that horrible wankerJohn Hall.

Does it really matter
Yes. The same fan base hounded him out but claim him as a saint now. Don't get me wrong I love SBR as England manager - what a character.

They’re a strange breed up there.
Ask any of them if someone from Sunderland is a Geordie and you’ll get short shrift.
Ask them if the man from the middle of County Durham who they chased out of the club after 4 games is a Geordie and they’ll all reply of course.
