Lincoln 2 Gateshead 4

What a great result for GATESHEAD and what a great day for the HEED ARMY. The trip to LINCOLN by coach can be very long winded but the end result was well worth it with a much deserved 3 points for the lads.

For an away match so close to New Year, the HEED ARMY took a fair few fans and were once again in good voice!

The game started well, with the GATESHEAD looking in fine form. There was only one change made in the side from the Boxing Day game and that was the return of Craig (Nelly) Nelthorpe. GATESHEAD for the first quarter looked the better side and they were rewarded with a goal by Paul (Thommo) Thompson. A superb header that was celebrated with the words “3 more to go”. Let’s hope Thommo can break the record and become the HEED ARMYS all time leading scorer.

LINCOLN responded well and started to get on top of GATESHEAD. A scuffle in the box and a few deflections later, the ball ended up in the net. With the score level at half time the game was there for the taking.

LINCOLN came out in the second half and threw everything at GATESHEAD. They were on top and once again, a scuffle and a deflection led to another scrappy goal. With GATESHEAD now 2-1 down, the long coach trip home was starting to dawn upon me.

But the Boxing Day change in the side proved to be a match winning decision by Tony Lee. It was now time for the young Craig (Nelly) Nelthorpe to turn on the heat and with two top class strikes; Gateshead found themselves 3-2 up in no time. Nelthorpe's goals were both strikes across the box, beating the keeper in the bottom corner. His second rattled the net and it hit home that this young lad has got a massive future ahead of him. He truly is a class act!

GATESHEADS forth came from the work horse himself “Davie Southern”. This lad’s work rate was once again superb and at last he got to slot one home and celebrate in style with a Kilinsman style dive into the corner flag! Southern was taunted all day by LINCOLNS two big centre halves, but he was rewarded in the end and nearly made it 5 with a shot that rolled past the post by inches near the end of the game.

In summary, GATESHEAD played with passion away from home and they got a great result. “Jamie Curtis” looked like he was getting back to his best with a much improved performance and “Craig (Over the hill) Baxter” had a great game down the right. Overall it was a whole team performance and lads pulled together, putting the Boxing Day draw to the back of my mind. Bring on Radcliffe Borough next week!

Man of the match: Craig (Nelly) Nelthorpe 10/10.

The Heed Army Blog would like to thank Private Goody for the match report.

Gateshead 1 Kendal Town 1

Gateshead didn't make this match easy for them selves, with poor defending leading to long spells of Kendal pressure.

Only three names come out of the game with any respect, for tireless hard work and determination. These three player are:

Paul "THOMMO" Thompson
Worked tirelessly up front nodding great through balls on only to find no support from his midfield.

Steve Salvin
The only midfield player to have put in the effort tracking back to help out.

Davie Southern

Scored a great goal, and whipped in about 10 great balls into the box only to find THOMMO marked by three players every time.

Gatesheads goal came from a poor corner, but Davie southern latched onto the loose ball to power home a fantastic goal from outside the box.

In the second half Kendal got the leveller from a cross come shot that deceived everyone.

Gateshead 0 Burton Albion 4

Gatesheads dreams of staying in the FA Trophy got smashed to pieces after Burton went to town on the HEED ARMY!!

A 4-0 drubbing wasn't what everyone was expecting, but its what Gateshead got. Lazy defending and bad errors lead to Gateshead downfall.

A Look to the Past: FA Cup run of 52/53

Gateshead AFC as the club was known then reached the 6th round of the FA Cup in the 1952/53 season.

This is the round by round journey to the 6th round:

1st Round Gateshead beat Crewe 2-0 at Home

2nd Round Gateshead beat Bradford Park Avenue 2-1 Away

3rd Round Gateshead beat Liverpool 1-0 at Home

4th Round Gateshead beat Hull City 2-1 Away

5th Round Gateshead beat Plymouth 1-0 Away

6th Round Gateshead's FA Cup dream came to a end at Home with a 1-0 defeat to Bolton Wanderers.

Two games from Wembley was the team of 52/53, a cup run yet to be matched by any Gateshead team. YET!!!

A Brief History of Gateshead FC

There has been a few teams Under the banner of Gateshead throughout the years, but Gateshead FC 's origins start not in Gateshead but South Shields.

South Shields Football club was in the Football League Div 3 North when they moved to the borough of Gateshead and became Gateshead AFC in 1930.

Gateshead AFC two years later in 1932 failed to clinch promotion on goal difference, Gateshead stayed in the Football League Div 3 for a further 8 years. In 1960 the Tyneside team fell out of the Football League.

After ten years in the Football League Gateshead found them selves in Non-league and spent time in the Northern Premier League between 1968 and 1970.

Gateshead AFC went under in 1973, and reformed when South Shields again moved to Gateshead. This time making Gateshead United and playing at Gateshead International Stadium.

Gateshead had been playing at their own home of Redhugh park before running costs took their toll on the club.

Gateshead United lasted only three season before having money troubles and going under as well.

1977 was the year when the Current Gateshead FC was formed, and had players such as Bob Topping (the Current top goal scorer For Gateshead FC 1977) and Terry Hibbitt play for them in the coming seasons.









Gateshead FC Spent nearly 10 years in the National Conference, the highest any North East Non-League team has ever played.
In 1997/98 season Gateshead were relegated to the Northern Premier league were they have stayed for all but one season.

Gateshead 2 Hednesford 3

A game that had everything From goals, bad refereeing and dives that would not have looked out of place in the Olympics.

Gateshead started the game with crisp clean and fast passing to leave Hednesdford chasing the ball. In the 6th minute Gateshead took the lead through a Davie Southern free kick.

Hednesford got level after James Curtis slipped on the box to leave the Hednesford attack open to score.

Gateshead regained the lead with Captain Chris Hanson Scoring before half time.

After half time Gateshead started much the same as the start of the first, but a penalty awarded to Hednesford got the game level again.

Persistent diving from the Hednesford front line never let the game run as before and the referee not wanting to stamp it out.

Gateshead fell to a sucker punch in the dieing second of the match to loose a game they had dominated.

A mass brawl broke out and the referee lost all control of the match, both the referee and his lines man missed hand raised from both sets of players.

GUTTING!!!!!

Gateshead 0 Whitby Town 0

This was a game that never really got going, a stop start ref never let the game flow for either side.

The first half was full of chances for Whitby but very poor finishing left the back of the net without a ripple.


Gateshead had their chance but had the same trouble as Whitby.

The second half was much the same, with Gateshead making a sub at the break. Steven Istead came on for a struggling Adam Johnston.

A bore draw, and Gateshead was lucky to get the draw.

FA Trophy Preview: Workington Reds

The FA Trophy trip to Workington Reds was never going to be a an easy game to go and win, but with the news of a fresh injury to James Curtis (pictured on the left) make the game a harder Battle.




Neil Tarrnat Joined Gateshead From Workington earlier this season is hoping to be fit for the return to his former club. Niel has been suffering from bruised ribs and is surely hoping to put one past the Reds.


Other injury doubts to the weakened Gateshead Team are:
Steve Baker
Ian Clark
Richard Flynn
Davie Southern
Paul Thompson

Former Tynesider manager Tommy Cassidy is the manager of Workington Reds and has started this season well with the reds. Workington are sitting in the top places in the Northern Conference and would be a tough opposition for any conference side never for a Unibond side like Gateshead.


A coach full of the Heed Army is traveling to Workington on Saturday. It is sure to be a great day out what ever the result, but a win would be nice for the Traveling fans.

Gateshead 3 Fleetwood Town 3

Gateshead never really controlled this game and fell behind midway through the first half.

Adam Johnston got the Heed Army Level from the penalty spot after a Fleetwood Town Defender handled the ball in the box.


After the break Chris Hanson went straight through the heart of the Fleetwood defence and only had the keeper to beat but sent the ball across goal to find no Gateshead team mate there.

Yet again Gateshead fell behind after a poor build up play.

Steve Salvin got the Heed Army level once again, but 30 seconds later Davie Southern got Gateshead 3-2 in front with a cracking shot from outside the box. It was moment of pure genius!!!!

Just as before Gateshead's lack of communication let them down and Fleetwood Town got level late on in the game.

We did not deserve to win but did not show enough heart to hold on to what we had!!!

Davie Southern the driving force behind Gateshead will be looking to add to his 14 goals this season, after scoring in mid week at Ossett.

BIG James Curtis should return to the centre of defence after serving his suspension in midweek.

Ashton Utd 0 Gateshead FC 1

A wins a win they say, and Gateshead got one.

On a poor pitch both sides struggled to take any kind of hold of the game in the first half.

Simon Bishop was in top form making some great saves in the first half.

Tony lee must have said the right words to the Gateshead players at half time as they started the second half with a fresh fire in there hearts.

Chances fell to Neil Tarrant and Steven Istead in the early spells in the second half, but to no avail.

The brake through came when Davie Southern was one on one with the Ashton Utd keeper and blasted a shot that the keeper but he was unable to get his full hand behind the shot, and the ball trickled over the line for the win.

Hall Of fame: Lowe

Kenny Lowe had a few stints at Gateshead in Between his time in the football league.

Kenny played for Football league clubs such as Darlington, Birmingham City and Barnet.

Kenny returned to Gateshead in 95/96 season and became player joint/manager in the 97/98 season with Matty Pearson.

Kenny the left to become manager of Barrow the next season, where he is also a legend.

Kenny will always be remembered as play maker and hard worker in midfield.

As manager Kenny would get right behind the team and wave both arms frantically to urge the team on the to pleasure of the home crowd.

A memorable goal from Kenny was when he was taking a corner and he hit it hard and high and the crowd groaned, but the ball curled hard and hit the far post and went in. A fluke but never the less a fantastic goal!!

Gateshead 0 Harrogate Railway 1

A hungry Harrogate Railway team came to the International Stadium on Monday night, in the first half Harrogate Railway looked slightly the better side with some good passing and movement off the ball. 0-0 at halftime.

In the second half Gateshead started to change gear and get a better grip in the game, with Gateshead hitting the wood work on a few occasions. Davie Southern rattled the cross bar mid way through the second half.


The Nail in the coffin was a bit shady to say the least with a Harrogate Railway striker bear hugging Chris Hanson in the Gateshead Box, and got a goal seconds after. The ref did have a white stick moment.

The Season So far: Player Ratings Part 2

This is part two of a review of the players so far this season, looking at their performances thus far.


To continue the summary:


The Midfield

Nicky Deverdics
Nicky started off similar to Craig Baxter, a little off the pace. After the few games to acclimatise Nicky has become a strong attacking midfield player how never gives up.

Season Rating So Far 7

Chris Hughes









After starting the season on the wing, Chris has moved into central midfield and has become a great Tally's man for the team. A box to box player with plenty of gas in the tank all through a game.

Season Rating So Far 8

Steve Salvin









If there is a ball to chase Steve will chase it, and makes life very difficult for the opposition during most games.

Season Rating So For 7

Steve Istead









Very Versatile player who can play up front or in midfield, but injury's have stopped Steve from getting a long run in the side to show what he can do.

Season Rating So Far 7

Paul Thompson









Paul has become Mr Utility in recent years, but his start to the season has seen injury's also. Flashes of the old Thommo are till there, but needs to play a full game.

Season Rating So Far 7


The Strikers

Davie Southern









A breath of fresh air in the team after years of having no players to change a game with one kick of the ball. Davie has scored 12 goals so far this season and making many goals as well.

Season Rating So Far 9


Neil Tarrant



Neil has come into the side and show his knowledge of the game, on the attacks he brings in his team mate into the play. His powerful shots and headers make him a feared target man.

Season rating so far 7


Kesendu Okike



Mr Hot and cold of late, after a great end to last season Kesndu hasn't been at the races much this season. Lets hope its a minor dip in form

Season Rating So Far 6
