@SiskJerry Yeah, the significance of the signing can’t be overstated given where the club was at the time, and everything that was achieved in the following seasons.
Kieran Trippier was the first genuinely world-class player to sign for Newcastle United in a long time.
What’s more, he took a pay cut, and joined in a relegation battle.
He believed, others followed.
Arguably one of the club’s most consequential signings of the PL era.

Thank you, Tripps 🖤🤍
After four and a half years of incredible service to Newcastle United, we can confirm that Kieran Trippier will leave the club this summer when his contract expires.
Kieran arrived in January 2022 with the club in the relegation zone and played a crucial role as he went on to lift the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years.
Dug out these photos from Newcastle United's last visit to Barcelona in 2002, remembered for a 24-hour postponement and a Shola Ameobi goal.
By the time I returned three years ago, the Nou Camp’s upper tier, where the away fans had been sat, was mostly gone.
Who was there?

@Steph_Herdman32 Nightmare! Was doing a colour piece from away end, and reported on what happened with people being bussed to airport from postponed game. It was a big story!
Seen and reported on some big Newcastle United wins against Man Utd over the years at SJP.
That’s up there with the best of them.
Extraordinary performance capped with an extraordinary goal.
