At the age of 14, Nancy Hall watched her first Newcastle United game at St James' Park having been sneaked, via a family friend who was also a journalist, into the press box.
"They told me to be quiet, imagine that! It's an impossibility to keep me quiet," she joked.
74 years later, Nancy watched her latest Toon game from the comfort of the Chairman's suite at the behest of co-owners Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi. The pair, who form part of the group that took over the club in October 2021, heard about Nancy's commitment to the club and invited her to the Brentford game which ended five-one to the Magpies. The goals came from Bruno Guimaraes who scored a double, Jacob Murphy, Miguel Almiron and an own goal with Nancy fully believing the footballing gods were in her favour.
