Happy 40th Birthday - Newcastle KB United and National representation of this fine
city in the Philips Soccer League and other leagues beyond.

It was an honour and privilege to attend the luncheon last Friday. I was seated between
Graham Heys and Con Mitsios. Other legends a the table were Craig Mason, David 'Jonah' Jones,
Peter Willis as well as former directors of various club incarnations David Brown and Eddie Boards.

40 years ago today Newcastle KB United played Sydney City Hakoah and lost 1-4. The crowd according to OzFootball records
was 15,067. Kenny Boden scored the club's first goal - a pen.
It's taken 40 years but Saturday night felt like we were back to something of those halcyon days.
May they long continue - with full community support this time.
