Once Upon a Toon: 18 Years Inside Newcastle United

Fascinating chronicles of an utterly unique life in football and 18 years at Newcastle United, with a foreword by Alan Shearer.

Once a Upon a Toon offers a unique perspective on life behind the scenes at one of England's most famous football clubs. No other individual has had the immense privilege of working at Newcastle United in the capacity that Paul Ferris once did: as a player between 1981 and 1986, physiotherapist between 1993 and 2003, and finally as a key member of Alan Shearer's management team in 2009.

The book is a deliberately light-hearted, often hilarious retelling of endless, and sometimes unbelievable, stories of events Paul experienced, and characters he met. His numerous, otherwise forgotten tales from a bygone era in 1980s football include the likes of Kevin Keegan, Jack Charlton, Paul Gascoigne, George Best and more. Ferris' chronicles from 18 years at Newcastle United also feature managers such as Kenny Dalglish, Ruud Gullit, Bobby Robson, the tumultuous 1993-2006 period and Alan Shearer's ill-fated short tenure.

If you are a Newcastle United supporter, football fan or loved The Boy on the Shed, this book is the ultimate way to revisit the club's precious glory days of football.
