Craig 6375 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I often read this section down the right hand side and this story caught my eye (don't remember hearing about it at the time though ) 2001 Bedlington Terriers dumped United's Reserves out of the Northumberland Senior Cup 2-0. It was the second time the teams had met in the same competition that season, with Newcastle winning the left-over final from the previous season. What was going to be a yellow card for a tackle became a straight red when Jamie McClen gave his name as Santa Claus. An unimpressed referee promptly dispatched him without further ado to the nearby grotto, otherwise known as the changing rooms. "If you've got all them presents to deliver, you'd best get away early..." Ref with a sense of humour failure tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I remember that story. 70048[/snapback] I remember the game! Not so much for the Santa Claus incident, but for a waywayrd shot that ended up in the deep fat fryer of the burger van behind the goal. Funny at the time, but it could have been pretty nasty.

Wonder where he is now? EDIT: now I come to think of it I think we released him because his mother was ill back in Chile, so I take back that shabby bit. Still should have got more games though.
