Brothers (1905)
Thirteen of the fifteen players in one Tynedale side in 1905 comprised five sets of brothers: three Spencers, three Emersons, three Pattersons, two Bates and two Ritsons.

Current Internationals
When Epeli Taione (Epi) represented Tonga in 1999 he became the first ever Tynedale player to win a full international cap whilst a current playing member of the club.
F.H.R Alderson, who played in Tynedale's 1887 cup-winning side, captained England several years later whilst playing for Hartlpool Rovers and Bill Nanson joined Tynedale in 1907 from Carlisle the season after being capped for England against Wales and France. Noel Humphreys toured South Africa with the British Isles in 1910, while playing stand-off for Tynedale.

Special Train (1883)
The first special train ever run anywhere in the North-East for a football match was from Hexham to Newcastle for the Northumberland Senior Cup Final of 1883 between Tynedale and Tynemouth.

Rugby League Internationals
Tynedale hooker Jack Suddes, who played in cup-winning sides at 1st XV, 2nd XV, 3rd XV and 4th XV level, later became reserve hooker for England while playing Rugby League for Bramley. Former Tynedale forward Bob Armstrong won a Rugby League cap before the First World War while playing for Salford.

Played aginst Touring Sides (1936)
Teddy Blench (full-back), Tommy Bland (centre) and Jack Suddes (hooker) played in the combined Northumberland, Cumberland and Durham side which lost only 10-6 to thw "All Blacks" at the County Ground, Gosforth in 1936.

Tynedale Captains/Northumberland Presidents
In 1948 newspapers reporting on the Northumberland Senior Cup final noted a very strange coincidence. Five times in the past 15 years Tynedale had gone to the County Ground in Gosforth in quest of County rugby laurels, and five times they had received the Senior Cup from Presidents of the County, and all had been ex-Tynedale captains.

In 1933 and 1934 Mr.G.E.Spencer was President when Tynedale were victorious,
He had captained Tynedale from 1905 to 1907. The following two years,1935 and
1936, another old Tynedale captain (1909/10), Mr. M.M. Snowball, was there to
congratulate them on a competition record of four successive wins.
On that Saturday in 1948 it was Mr.B.D.Plummer’s turn to enjoy the most
exhilarating experience of his 40 year association with the club. He had been captain of Tynedale for six seasons, still a record, from 1919 until 1925,and was later President from 1952 to 1956, and again in 1959/60.

Alan Charlton - The Rugby All-Rounder (1950's and 60's)
Alan played for Tynedale in the 1950's and 60's, captaining the 1stXV between 1962 and 1964 and again in the 1966-67 season. He played hooker for Tynedale and Northumberland before a law change which outlawed hookers from 'swinging' resulted in him successfully moving into the back-row. He also represented Tynedale 1stXV as a Centre, Fly-Half and Full Back - he was also the best goal kicker in the club during his playing career.
