While it's true that he played for Newcastle, Yohan Cabaye is very much French

From my understanding, the most plausible theory is that it comes from a derogatory slang given to the people of Newcastle by the Scottish Jacobites in the 1745 Rebellion. The supporters of King George (Geordie) II in Newcastle stood up against them, and earned themselves the name Geordies. The term Geordie is used for natives of Newcastle only, and they are very proud of it. There is a ton of amazing history stories related to that area.
Then again, it could be because of George (Geordie) Stephenson. He was a mining and railway engineer who came from the north east.
Sorry, I'm a history nerd.

Thanks. I Googled it and found the ones you mentioned and few others. But what I found said it is used for people throughout Northeast England and not just Newcastle. But Ill go with you what you said!!
Either way, the guys you all posted pics of are pretty hot, well maybe not the first one posted!! HAHA. And Cheryl Cole is from there too so I assume you have lot of hot girls there too. Are women called Geordies too? Or maybe Geordettes? LOL May have to visit there someday.

Sorry if there was any confusion I am not a Geordie, but one of my best friends is. I'm just a southern lady. And yes the women are Geordies too, and some of them I've seen are very beautiful.

Other famous people who I only just found out are Geordies would be, Bryan Johnson (Current lead singer of ACDC) Rowan Atkinson (MR Bean, BlackAdder, Johnny English) although he's clearly lost his accent, Alun Armstrong, actor in Braveheart, Les Miserables, Get Carter and many more, and Ridley Scott, who made the Alien and Promethius films.

I had no idea Charlie Hunnam was a Geordie. Well there you go!
Learn something new every day with me around haha.
One a bit of a side note, one wierd thing I've noticed, is that in Game of Thrones, Liam Cunningham who plays Ser Davos, uses a geordie accent (and he's Irish too, which shows he is a awesome actor because it's a hard dialect to perfect).
The only other TV show notorious for having Geordies, would be Geordie Shore of course

Not a Geordie lad, but I married a Geordie lass. Actually she's from a bit north of Tyneside and they don't really consider themselves Geordies, plus she's easier to understand. LOL
