They don't make 'em like Neil Warnock any more.

The legendary gaffer used to pick the team based on his wife's dreams.

And on one occasion this led to a mad result...

The night before a big FA Cup tie with Wolves, Warnock's wife Sharon dreamed that a right back would score the winning goal.

The next morning, Neil walked into the dressing room and told them about the dream.

"Danny Butterfield", he said, pointing to the club's second choice right-back. "You're playing up front".

The players were baffled: Butterfield had scored 1 goal in 6 years.

But Sharon must have been on to something...

Butterfield scored a 6 minute hat-trick Palace won 3-1.

4 years ago, I wore the Newcastle jersey for the first time. At that moment, I hadn’t realized that not only was I about to become a Newcastle player, but I was also about to become a Geordie.

You might think « nice Goodbye message » but the sentiment runs deeper than any words I could say, from the very first months that I met the people of this city, I truly understood them and embraced their unwavering passion, which is why it was so important for me to give my all and if this meant to play injured or even not making statistics, I didn’t give a sh** as long as it would help my team.

Believe me, I fell for Newcastle, I had great opportunities to leave during dark days, but that was too late I was already in love, I wanted, I needed, I had to stay for helping my team to save the club from Premier League relegation because it meant the world for me.

Of course during those dark days some may have had their doubts, but I always believed in this club and look where we are today, it's just so beautiful. I'm leaving Newcastle as it should always have been and that's my greatest trophy because I was a part of it.

A deep thank you to ALL of you, my team mates, the loyal fans, the staff, the Club, etc… I’ve seen all your messages, thank you and even though this chapter has ended, the story never stops. Newcastle is home now, I'll continue to be your biggest supporter, I'll watch every game and as long as the club keeps winning I'll be the happiest man in the world… and for sure you will see me again 👀

I love you, I love you sincerely, I love you like a Geordie brother. Once a Geordie, always a Geordie 🖤🤍

Rugby Union would a far more enjoyable game if it wasn't for refs who love the sound of their own voice and whistle every five fucking minutes. #BledisloeCup #AUSvNZ

Middle class guys who watch two fights a year and who still tweet their ‘scorecards’, as well as a lot of knowing analysis lines they hear on commentary… tonight is your night. Enjoy it. You’ve earned it.
