Nolberto Solano on his first night on the lash with Newcastle teammates Steve Howey & Duncan Ferguson 😂🗣
“They called themselves ‘The Heavyweights’. They came up to me and said, ‘Hey little Peruvian, fancy a pint?’
Of course I said yes — I’m sociable!
In Peru, we share one bottle of beer between everyone with little glasses. But these lads took me to the Pitcher & Piano and it was bang, bang, bang — pints disappearing in minutes.
We went to the next bar… then the next. At one point they ordered whiskey and I was panicking — ‘No no no, no mixing! Only beer!’
I was absolutely mullered.
We finally came out and it was dark. My watch said 4 o’clock, so I phoned my ex-wife in a panic to apologise for being out so late.
‘I’m so sorry, I didn’t realise the time…’
She replied, ‘What are you talking about?’
I thought it was 4am. It was 4pm.
That was my welcome to Newcastle.”
Journalists camped outside Paul Gascoigne's house in the 90s took a Mitre football to keep themselves entertained...
Gazza sent it on a European tour via the local river!
