About Nick: Nick is 16 and lives in Yorkshire. He is at college where he is studying Chemistry, Biology, Law & Psycology. He's been a Toon fan since he was about 6 because his Uncle Chris was a Geordie. Nick works at McDonalds, so will have more money to see more games, and also, upon leaving college, Nick is hoping to get accepted into Newcastle University because a) Its a good university and b) He'll be able to see his beloved team play more often.
