Those Pesky Mackems Have Long Memories!

Apparently the winner is ...

"Andy Cole, Andy Cole, Andy, Andy Cole. He gets the ball, he scores a goal, 10 years ago," sung by Sunderland fans at Everton in the 7-1 defeat.

Ah well, he did it for us ... but for some reason he didn't quite hit it off in red and white stripes.

Perhaps he remembers the time when a Mackem pulled the **** out of him in a pub when he first signed for Newcastle, with the question:

"Hey mate, do you play for Newcastle?"

Cole said "yes, do you want an autograph"?

Mackem: "No ... but you can get me Peter Beardsley's autograph if you don't mind!"

Cole scored 63 goals for Newcastle in a season and a half. He scored NONE for Sunderland in a season.
