Pavel Srnicek, one of the hero's of my youth, growing up watching him in net in the garish colours of 90's 'keeper kits.

Not the best goalkeeper but one of the greatest men to have ever graced the grass at St James' Park.

Pavel was an example to those youngsters who travel from foreign lands to make their way in a new country. He embraced Tyneside and likewise Tyneside embraced him. He will forever be loved and remembered.

Gone but never forgotten, Pavel is (and always will be) a Geordie!
