You know how when you were at school sometimes the "1st Team" of whatever sport would play against the Coaches and former pupils etc etc? (i.e. The current best team verus the best previously)
As a child and not the biggest football (soccer) fan I used to think that Newcastle were a team of referees (and of course the referees had to be the best in order to judge the game in the first place!). This was mainly due to their black and white kit of course.
I still don't know anything about football.......

- When I was a kid, I used to think that the only way you could play football was if you had giant shoulders.— Sam

- I used to believe that a football ref's flag was a banana peel.Anon
