And closer to home, you were pictured doing charity work, sponsored runs and much more in South Tyneside.
To prove it, we have put together a wonderful selection of Gazette archive photos from 1991 and here they are.
So whether you are from Lukes Lane or Quarry Lane, we have something for you all.
Take a look, re-live the memories and then get in touch to tell us more.
