Geordies are people who come from the northeast of England.

Some think it's from the mining days when everyone else was using a certain mining lamp, but people from the Northeast kept on using the George Stephenson lamps or "Geordie lamp".

In 1992 John Hall established NUFC and using blanket media coverage managed to strongly associate the term with the lower league football club.
