"The walk winds through alleyways, past pubs and restaurants, past offices and the old city wall, before emerging at St James' Park. It feels as much a pilgrimage as a pathway."
"Even doing that, even that early, I could just tell that something really special was going to happen later on that day."
"If I was to choose one club that left the biggest mark on me, it would be Newcastle."
Ian Cathro, now head coach of Estoril Praia, recalls his memorable experiences at Newcastle United, where he worked under notable managers. The walk from Newcastle Central Station to St James' Park left a lasting impression on him. Despite the club's relegation during his tenure, he holds a deep fondness and respect for Newcastle and its passionate football culture. Cathro's journey in football has been marked by significant learning experiences in England, contributing to his recent recognition in Portugal as Coach of the Month.
