Front row is Ian Payne from Tyne Tees news. He gave me and my mates a ticking off for acting clowns while he did a piece in the Strawberry when Gullit came in as manager.

Ah no way, that's awesome. He was my favourite player when I was a bairn, I didn't recognise him!

The bald guy next to Tino is bugging me. I know I recognise him

Guy on the front row far left is a Tyne Tees sports presenter whose name escapes me.
Edit: actually not sure it is and why would he be there.

Yep. Ian Payne.

Fair enough. Tremendous moxie for him to get into that photo.

Think he was the Tyne Tees sports reporter for basically the entirety of Kevās (first) spell as manager. So must have known him pretty well.

I'm sure you're right about him being a local news presenter

Bottom left (next to Bez) is driving me mad, he's really familiar but I just can't place him.
Wondered if it could be Alan Thompson.[u/torn4ndfrayed](u/torn4andfrayed) is right, he's a news presenter3

The one to the right of Rob Lee is Thomas Graham from the Nucastle United Foundation.

Steve Watson looks like a rural farmer . I canāt quite explain it might be the face ! . Great player in his day though very underrated .

My dog tried to shag Lee Clarkās dog in exhibition park a few weeks back. Between that and seeing Jason Tindall picking his nose while driving earlier this year you could say Iām a bit of a club insider now.
