Outside Geordie territory many people get hit on the head (7)
I believe the answer is:
crowned
'hit on the head' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'outside geordie territory many' is the wordplay.
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go outside others).
'geordie' becomes 'NE' (Geordies are from Tyneside in the North East).
'territory' becomes 'crow' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'many' becomes 'D' (Roman numeral for 500).
'crow'+'d'='crowd'
'ne' put into 'crowd' is 'CROWNED'.
'people get' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
(Other definitions for crowned that I've seen before include "wreath on head" , "Invested as monarch" , "Enthroned" , "bonked on the head" , "filled with foaming ale" .)
