We’re proud to unveil Heaton’s Heroes: The Stan at St. James’ Park, a new video looking back at Heaton Stannington’s historic Newcastle Flooring Northumberland Senior Cup final victory over Morpeth Town.

The Stan’s previous Senior Cup final experience in 1980 wasn’t particularly documented, so we wanted to make sure that the memories of 2025 were saved forever, so media officer Liam enlisted the help of local videographer Daniel Hepple to capture everything – from the pre-match pints at the Strawberry to the faces in the crowd at the game watching the Stan’s nail-biting penalty shoot-out win. You’ll also see the celebrations and Dean’s post-match team talk from inside Newcastle United’s home changing room, and the thoughts of some of the Stan heroes who made the win happen.

Thank you to Andrew Cushin for allowing us to use his beautiful track I’m Coming Home which perfectly reflected an extraordinary night for Heaton Stannington.
