A player or supporter of Blyth Spartans, the North East's premier non-league
football team (soccer for all you who believe that football involves wearing huge amounts of padding and armour and throwing the ball)
Blyth Spartans got to the 5th round of the FA Cup in 1978, a feat since equalled, but never beaten. Now in the "Conference North" , they are
the highest placed team in the North east of England's non league pyramid.
Chants of "Harry Dunn's green and white army" and "we are Blyth, we are Blyth, we are Blyyyyyyth" often accompany
the Spartan army in their travels around the country.
Local rivals include cock knockers Gateshead, who are supported by a bunch of wannabe mackems south of the River Tyne.
