I'm not a geordie by birth,but my great grandfather was from Newcastle and all my mam's sisters moved to Newcastle. I was there from I was 10 till 17 3 times a year and would spend my Christmas and new year's in Newcastle with my gran. This song makes me cry everytime because of the great times I had going down with my gran,plus how much I love the place still to this day 🏴🏳🏴🏳❤❤
What is it about this song that's so timeless that it's the last song you want played for you on this earth? It's the only song I want played at my funeral. And you're far from the first to comment about this being a funeral song.
Been travelling for five months, in South America right now but COMING HOME in a couple of weeks. It’s me birthday today (aye it’s still 9th June where I am). I’ll have this blasting in me earplugs as the plane lands in Newcastle and I kna for a fact I’ll be a grown man crying like a punched bairn. The world is class but there’s newhere like my beautiful Newcastle. I can hardly hold meself together right now. Absolutely belta
Such a beautiful rendition of Local Hero, I will always remember my father when I hear this song, And it only gets better with Will We Talk. Such Talent😍
I’m not a geordie but my family are and I’ve supported and loved the magpies since I was a young lad. I will always and love nufc as a collective and never stop. We honestly have the best supporters in the world. Howay the Toon!
Local hero will always remind me of my Grandad. We had a red arrows video he always put on when i stayed over. This was the song at the start. Dire straits epicness........Mixxed with Sir Sam of Fender epicness.....Got to be AMAZING !!!!!!!
Absolutely unreal this. Was at St James Park for the first time last week and while im neither a Geordie nor a Newcastle supporter Local Heros an unreal song to have before a game and you cant get much better than Sam Fender top stuff.
I’m not a Geordie BUT i have been trying to find out the name of that song that rings out at St James Park as a I love it as it gets my hairs standing on end aswell hahah
I'm a brummie like heard this tune since I were a kid fourty years ago, have all of Straits albums, there's a track on this Knopfler album with the late great Gerry Rafferty, check it out, thats the way it always starts
LOCAL HERO - An American oil company has plans for a new refinery and sends someone to Scotland to buy up an entire village, but things don't go as expected when an English football club appropriates the films theme tune. LOL

People who aren't geordies have no idea what this song means to us, it's our national anthem ❤🖤⚪
I had absolutely no clue. Was at St. James’ Park last night and came here to find out. First time in Newcastle, won’t be my last!
@@jeromea9209 same here! Was at SJP last night, it was incredible seeing the reaction to this tune!
Not a geordie but a toon fan it means a lot to me tooo
We probably do, we all have local hero’s.
@@1150Mikesme too
In a 100 years Mark Knopfler Will still be remembered for this amazing piece of music! Great tribute by sam to Newcastle aswell
Will be remembered for a lot more than this
Gossy High boy like Big Al (and me) 👍👍👍
As an American Newcastle fan it's definitely on my bucket list to hear this live in St. James' Park someday.
Epic! Mark Knopfler would be proud.

Class man
Ya don’t have to be a geordie to love Sam fender he’s mint
If your not a geordie I'm sorry you just wont understand why my spine is tingling
Im not a geordie or even english and i still get the tingles 🖤
I’m a Boro fan but I get it
Mark Knopfler, a Geordie boy done good, born in Glasgow and Billy Connolly was his milk man I recall.
I'm from Birmingham and I completely get it, an amazing piece of music, love it
I'm from Sunderland and I completely understand. As much as sam's a Geordie he represents the north east as a whole in a way. Hes
a proper legend 👍
Its a special sound, makes you proud to be a Geordie.
Played this song after both my father, brother and brother in law funeral it's very close to my heart this song 🖤🤍🖤🤍
I've chosen Local hero for my funeral hopefully I'll stick around for a few more years. God bless

My deepest sympathy.
My fathers too!!
Brought tears to my eyes FFS, quality. NE29
Superb , the sax player has done a solo version of the local hero theme, it's awesome
Where is ot? That is why am here
Good quality. Canny way to start a gig in your home toon with Wor Flags and 11000 Geordies. Crackin' night. The boy is a star.
Robson Green as about five rows in front of me! Cracking night.
All well and good marra, but be kind to the police horses
Plenty of us glaswegians. Different class man what a night
Goosebumps everytime I listen to this.
The Dogs Bollocks. Needs to be his entrance theme for every gig. Toon Toon

Boro fan here...I come in peace...Isn't that bloody marvellous...?.
I hope to visit Europe next winter and Newcastle will absolutely be a stop on the tour
Got to be one of the best gig atmospheres in the world.
Highly doubtful
Saw him live in St James's Park almost a year ago. One of best gigs EVER!! 🖤🤍
Canadian with Georgie heritage . . . love this a lot. Sam is a superstar.
Is georgie your dad then?
Hawway the lads bring that Cup Home

Geordie Boy 100%

Local hero
To be very pedantic it’s Coming Home from the soundtrack of the film Local Hero. But everyone calls it Local Hero
This was the best night
I’m a Leeds Fan and this track gets me going 😂nowt like Marching on Together but this is a close second 😂
Just spotted me in the crowd, reminder of a fantastic night ❤
What an entrance...Johnny Blue Hat man
Love it ! allthough I noticed Will we Talk is played quit a lot faster than on the record
Incredible
Up the Toon!!
Absolutely love this.
Awesome !!!!
Absolutely spine tingering
Magnificent piece of music
Mark would be proud
Goosebumps
It’s the best tune ever
I Love Newcastle ❤❤❤
Up the toooon 💯
Shheeeeeeeeeeraaaaaaaaaaa
I think it's fair to say I've made up around 40k of the views on this video as I've watched this video so many times as I'm a huge fan of Sam Fender
imagine this happen at st james park when newcastle win premiere league🥲 thats a fckng beauty..
This is so mad 👏⚫️⚪️
Mr Webb with the trumpet, rocked it
Went to this night with someone I didn't expect to have such a strong connection with. Not sure if we're ever going to see each other again
He’s a class act no doubt about it…..and his band he fronts are very good! 😎🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴😊😎
What with the. Saltire, jock
Understand every word
Shear class
St James park in June can’t wait
Great video!! Can I ask what seat you were in the arena? It looks like a good view.
Sam is a geordie boot boy superstar lik Shearer Healy Whately and Ritson
Outfuckingstanding 🖤🤍
Can’t believe I’ve only just realised they had big john furry on the trumpet.
I think The Toon are missing a trick, should have these 2 every week as they run onto the pitch, so much more emotion than a recording
And mebs that young lad that Adam P found outside SJP smashing it out a few months agan
Special music! HTL
Wow
First game of next season live local hero like this to walk them out.
Love it from NZ.
Come on
Let's goo
⚫️⚪️
I'm a brummie like heard this tune since I were a kid fourty years ago, have all of Straits albums, there's a track on this Knopfler album with the late great Gerry Rafferty, check it out, thats the way it always starts

Will we talk in the morning
WHY-AYE MAN...... HWTL.....

Will we talk
The Geordie anthem
Geordie nation
Took the Toon.Simple As ya took the Toon
