'No-one writes with as much flair, authority and sly wit about the North and Northerners as well as Dan Jackson... a loving, forensic, engaging history of his beloved Newcastle United' STUART MACONIE
'An outstandingly rich, entertaining and thoughtful book' DOMINIC SANDBROOK
What is the real history of Newcastle United? Why has this gloriously exasperating football club inspired devotion bordering on religious fervour, despite a trophy cabinet that in recent years only bulged through malnutrition? And what, exactly, do its dizzying highs and operatic lows reveal about the corner of England it has so long represented in the national imagination?
In Howay the Lads!, Dan Jackson - bestselling author of The Northumbrians - dives headlong into the smoky backstreets of Victorian Tyneside, where football first took root among shipyards and coalmines with men who thought shin pads were for the faint-hearted. He traces how the North East fell hopelessly in love with the game, how Newcastle United rose to become the glittering aristocrats of Edwardian football, and how they then spent the next century pursuing Wembley glory with the stubborn optimism of someone who insists this year really is our year.
Along the way, we meet a cast worthy of a Netflix drama: the cerebral footballing polymath Colin Veitch; the goal-scoring folk heroes Jackie Milburn and Alan Shearer; and a procession of St James' Park boardroom characters whose exploits were often as dramatic as anything on the pitch.
Jackson explores the club's singular place in the social and cultural life of North East England - its fierce rivalries, its unbreakable bond with the city, and the fan culture that somehow made Newcastle United the best-supported underachievers in world football.
From coal dust to Champions League dreams, from heartbreak to hope, and from controversial Saudi takeover to a future shimmering with possibility, this is the story of what Newcastle United has been - and with 100 years since the club's last league title-winning season, what it still means to a city that sings, suffers and stubbornly believes.

Kritikerstimmen
A brilliant history of the club I love. Passion, pride and pain - it's all here
No-one writes with as much flair, authority and sly wit about the North and Northerners as well as Dan Jackson. With this book, he has distilled many of his abiding passions inspired by his native North East - its people, culture and landscape, its military, political and industrial heritage - into a tale that encompasses all those things and more... a loving, forensic, engaging history of his beloved Newcastle United. Even those of us cordially indifferent to the fortunes of the Magpies will find much to savour in this superb book
This is more than a book about a football club - it's a superb history of a city, a people and a corner of England that's too often overlooked. Dan Jackson takes us into the beating heart of industrial Newcastle to trace the story of its beloved football team, from shipbuilding fans to Saudi owners. This is an outstandingly rich, entertaining and thoughtful book, written with the passion of a man who loves his football and with the forensic eye of a great historian
