Julian Borner

[Buddy Repperton]

Lets just hope he's a decent player and a vast improvement on our recent recruitments.

With the way things seem to be for Wednesday nowadays, he might be the only addition we're allowed, that's if the powers-that-be don't scupper this one!

I wonder why it hasn't been announced by the club.

Probably because he signed the medical not the contract. He admits it in that quote.

Erm, I think you stand the distinct possibility of picking up a  WHHHOOOOOOOOOOOSH on the Gerry Young one, buxton  

 

 

 

 

 

I well remember in 1961, I  was living in Shields and attending Newcastle Uni..Back home in Hoyland , we had a Supporters Club branch Dinner which I attended.

Gerry was sitting opposite me, and, fascinated by his accent, I asked him where he  came from. 'You'll not have heard of it, it's a small village called Primrose Hill, between Jarrow and Felling' was his reply. 'Went through it yesterday' I said truly.  We became speaking acquaintances, and afterwards, I found by accident  that one of his regular water holes in Fountain Square. He never changed.

He was the son of a British Soldier, serving in W.Germany, and a German mother. He was christened WOLFGANG, and his name was changed by Deed Poll when the family returned to England when he was 4 years old. He was registered as British.

Bit of confusion here, methinks. 

Wilf Smith was born of an English Father, serving in the British Forces in W.Germany, so could possibly have taken German citizenship, but was brought up entirely in England, and never claimed German citizenship

 

As for Gerry Young, he was born and bred in South Shields, and was brought up in a little village called Primrose Hill, between Felling and Jarrow. He may have sounded strange to S.Yorks folk since he always spoke with a  broad Geordie accent, even when having a pint in the City centre pub he frequented.

I think if he was  born in germany to a german woman and named wolfgang it's fair to say that herr borner is not the first german to play for us
