    Robert Newton is best remembered for portraying the feverish-eyed Long John Silver and inventing the phrase "Arrrgh, matey!" in the Walt Disney version of Treasure Island. His portrayal became the standard for screen portrayals of pirates and he is often credited with inventing the stereotypical "pirate voice" by exaggerating the accent of his native West Country.

    Newton has become the "patron saint" of the annual International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19.
