The Geordie Legend
Copyright Irv Graham

There has been much speculation over the term ‘Geordie’.
Many stories abound but here is the tale as telt by the aad gadgies.
Many years ago in a forgotten part of England lived young prince called George whose dad was named George the Forgotten. After his realm of course. He was an awful man whe the people feared. As the young prince grew so did his popularity. The aad King hord aboot this, and was filled with a great rage. Fearful for the princes life a crowd of people fled the City taking young George with them.

It came to the young prince in a dream to look into the neet sky, and follow a blazing comet. So they headed north. After months of hard-ship in the Wilderness they came to the low lands of Scotland where they found a place called Northumberland. Exploring the area they chanced upon a portion of eden. Which in later years would be known as the valley of the Tyne.
To cut a lang story short the young prince grew into manhood, and became King whe the people named George the foremost. One day King George set out to explore the oceans.

A Scots King heard that they were without a leader, and thought them easy prey. A challenge waas issued. Where upon eleven champions from both tribes war hoyed into the arena
George’s men were losing until a magpie flew amongst them. Taking this as a good omen the men rallied, and went on to win.

The King of Glasgow bowed to the bravery of George’s men, and to celebrate a greet feast waas held. Upon awakening from his monumental binge the King of Glasgow said ‘By Geordie we really went on the Toon ’
From that day the name Geordie was born. But the tale of the Toon is a different hokey.
