Newcastle Falcons were previously known as Newcastle Gosforth and under that guise they had mainly occupied the second tier of English rugby, but professionalism changed all that.
The Falcons, bankrolled by local businessman and owner of Newcastle United Sir John Hall, became arguably the first professional rugby union club in the world.
This team created history to become Premiership champions in 1997/98. Contributors include Rob Andrew, Dean Ryan and Tony Underwood.
In 1992/93, Newcastle celebrated coming top of division two, and two years later, under the directorship of Rob Andrew (former captain of London Wasps) they were promoted to the Guinness Premiership. In 1995, just before the start of the professional era, Newcastle United football chairman Sir John Hall secured the club's finances following a long period of financial instability and with his backing, Newcastle became the first fully professional rugby union in the world. Renamed the Newcastle Falcons and replacing the club's original green and white colours for black and white stripes, the club became a force to be reckoned with.
At the end of the 1997/98 season, just one year after promotion to the Premiership, the Falcons exceeded all expectations taking the Premiership title and celebrating their best year ever. Their phenomenal success prompted club owner John Hall to sell the club in 1999 for a 'nominal' sum in to local businessman Dave Thompson.
