Newcastle Blue Star is a name with a decorated history in the North East — Wembley winners once over — but the club's reincarnation is fighting for its chance to write a new chapter.
Reborn two years ago after it folded in 2009 and now driven by owner Stephen Best, his inspiration came from his dismay with Newcastle United. He soon found he was not alone.
Best wanted to give the community in the West End of the city an alternative to the Premier League football they could no longer afford and no longer enjoyed.
