Newcastle Blue Star F.C. was a football club based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It was established in 1930 and joined the Wearside League in 1973. In 1978, it won the FA Vase. Having won promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division at the end of the 2008/09 season via the play-offs, off field troubles led to the club winding up having never taken its place in the league. One of Blue Star's most notable former players is Andy Morrell who has now made a name for himself in the professional game.
