Pavel Srnicek: A humble man with a big heart
Gavin Peacock
Words fail to express my sadness at the death of my former Newcastle Utd room-mate Pavel Srnicek. He and I joined the club within a few weeks of each other and stayed together at the New Kent Hotel in Jesmond in those early days. Those days in the early 1990s were tough days on the field and not easy for any of us, let alone a young man in a new country trying to understand a new language... and of course a new Geordie accent!
But Pavel's character prevailed. We roomed together for a while and got to know each other quite well. He was a gentleman, a kind man with that elusive virtue... humility. This is why he endeared himself to everyone. He never thought too highly of himself. And this is also why he learned to become a very good goalkeeper. He came as a raw talent and left the club as a fine talent. He came to grow and to be taught and he left as a man respected by all of his peers and who became a teacher and mentor of many, including Steve Harper who wrote a heartfelt tribute on Twitter: "A truly beautiful soul has left this world far too early!! Thank you so much for everything you did for me Pav."
Even more than that, Pavel captured the hearts of the Geordie fans. I love the Geordies. My father

If you’re proud to be a Geordie, clap your hands…. by Louise Thompson
Beyond our wildest dreams! Many of us can barely believe the positive change in Newcastle United’s fortunes. We have probably never really had too much cause for optimism and it feels almost too good to be true for us. The Geordie nation of good-hearted underdogs, giving it everything but not getting very much back in return. Not any longer! We are now operating at football’s upper reaches and with a new, global perspective and we are loving every minute of it. That has made me think about us, as the Geordie nation. What does it mean to be one of “us”, a Geordie?
Is it something like the definition of a Cockney, so proximity at our birth to the Castle defines us? Is that it? Sorry, that can’t be it. There are loads of examples of people being born far from the Castle that we still consider to be Geordies. We have produced some amazing footballing talent in and around Newcastle, the Charltons, Beardsley, Waddle and Gazza, a certain Alan Shearer and the current home-grown talent pool to name just a few. But who could doubt that Jonas Gutierrez is a Geordie? Pavel was a Geordie, we told him so over and over and over again. Seven years after leaving the club, Pappi
