This is a book that every true fan of Newcastle United or Sunderland should possess. In fact it is the only thing that will unite them. It tells the story of the rivalry between the two clubs with match reports on every team match with the team line-ups, scorers, referees, everything.
It's the sort of book that you can dip in and out of and the author brings to life all the great personalities of both clubs, especially some of those who have played for both sides like Bobby Moncur, Len Shackleton and Paul Bracewell. But you don't have to be from the north east to appreciate this truly definitive book. Also it will solve many arguments between rival fans, as well as dispelling some myths built up over the years about a certain Tyne-Wear derbies.
