ALREADY the oldest surviving Newcastle United player, Jack Shiel now has another footballing milestone to celebrate.

Jack, 91, a member of the well-known Northumberland fishing and boating family, is marking the 70th anniversary of getting his big break in the game.

Jack, who was skipper of North Sunderland School at Seahouses, joined the family fishing business at the age of 15.

"I would come ashore on Saturdays to play football," said Jack, who still lives in Seahouses.

He was signed as a centre forward by Newcastle United and on his debut for the club's reserve side in the Central League in 1936, hit a hat-trick.
