STANLEY SEYMOUR IS THE ODD MAN OUT AMONG FOOTBALL DIRECTORS

They call him Mr Cheque Book, Mr Newcastle United Mr Soccer Dictator.

"They can call me whatever they like," says Mr Stanley Seymour, chairman of Newcastle United, who, against Manchester City, won their third Cup Final at Wembley in five years:

"I'm Newcastle United: First, second, and last. Nothing else matters to me."

And you have to strain your ears to catch his Geordie accent. Seymour, 62 years old this month, a bowler hat covering his bald head, has come up the hard way he began as a player. Fourteen years after he had scored a goal for Newcastle from the left wing in the Wembley Cup Final of 1924 against Aston Villa, United were in the financial and playing dumps. They had just missed relegation to the Third Division; were "in the red" for something like £20,000.
